AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. Occasionally check that
the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt. Refer to Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Fig. 17.
1.
Open the air cleaner cover.
2.
Remove the air cleaner element from the casing.
3.
Check and clean the air cleaner element. Replace with a new one if the element is damaged. Good element
can be washed in soapy water, dried and reused. There is no need to add oil to the element.
4.
Wipe off excessive oil from the air cleaner case. Small amount of oil in the element is normal and necessary
for the engine to work properly.
5.
Reinstall the air cleaner element and cover.
CAUTION: running the engine with dirty, damaged or missing air cleaner element will cause the engine to wear
out prematurely.

Remove the fuel line from the carburetor and bring it
to the back of the pressure washer to drain out the fuel.

sure to collect it and take the fuel to your local recycling
center. Do not store fuel for more than 3 months.
