GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the pressure washer. See any
authorized Sears dealer for service.
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
the operator must maintain pressure washer as
instructed in this manual including proper storage as
detailed in “Storage” on pages 18-19.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least
once each season. Follow the requirements in the
“Maintenance Schedule” chart above.
NOTE:
Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer.

control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
