Maintenance
ENGLISH
• At high altitude the air fuel mix in the standard carburetor
will be rich in fuel. Performance will be lower and fuel
consumption will increase.
• Performance while in a high altitude can be increased if
the carburetor is regulated adjusting the main knob. The
equipment is set to operate at heights above 6000 feet
above sea level. If the tool is not working efficiently call a
Authorized Service Center to have
them carry out modification in the carburetor.
• Even though the carburetor has an adequate injection the
potency in the motor will decrease 3,5% approximately per
each 1000 feet increment, after 6890 feet above sea level.
Decrease in potency will be higher if there are no
modifications in the carburetor.
• If the equipment is operated in a
height that is inadequate to the carburetor setting, low
performance, over-heating and severe damage to the
motor caused by the excessive air mix in the fuel may be
obtained
• Make a visual inspection of the pump every day. If
noticing oil loss around the pump seals, take the Pressure
Washer to a Authorized Service
Center to be repaired.
• Do not try to repair or alter the pump. Otherwise the
Pump Washer could get damaged and the warranty will be
void.
• Use only
original spare parts.
• When servicing or repairing the
Pressure Washer use eye protection complying with ANSI
Z87.1.
• Before servicing the Pressure Washer,
shut off water supply, shut off the motor, press the trigger
to release pressure, disconnect all the hoses, disconnect
the spark plug cable and set it apart.
• Failure to comply with any of the previous points
exposes the operator to severe injury or damage the
Pressure Washer thus making the warranty void.
General Maintenance
• Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil or grease from
the unit. Refrain from using detergent
when cleaning the plastic parts. Use care not to make
contact of the plastic parts with fluid like brake fluid,
gasoline, other petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. Otherwise the plastic could damage, it would
alter the unit operation and expose the operator to severe
injury.
•
Periodically double-check the bolts, nuts and screws to
be firmly tightened.
•
Periodically check the filter to make sure is clean.
• Verify oil and fuel levels to fill up when necessary.
• Check the jack-line. If frayed, replace it immediately in a
Authorized Service Center.
Nozzle Cleansing
• Nozzles can get partially obstructed due to residues,
thus increasing pressure in the high-pressure gun. This
issue can be detected if there is constant pulsating when
pressing the trigger.
• To solve this issue turn off the Pressure Washer and
remove the nozzle as indicated in page 9.
• Using a paper clip, remove the obstruction from the
nozzle.
• Set the nozzle in the front end of the garden hose.
Open the faucet so that the water flow goes through the
nozzle in an inverse sense and releases the rest of dirt.
• Connect back the nozzle into the metal spear.
Air Filter Cleansing
• Check the air filter once a month to make sure it is in
good repair. Remember, a dirty filter can cause trouble
when the motor is started, loss of performance and
shorten the useful life of the motor.
• Uncover the air filter cover loosening and removing the
wing nut.
• Using a damp cloth clean inside and out the filter cover.
Do not allow dust to enter into the carburetor.
Pump Maintenance
• Set an approved oil container under the unit.
• Uncover the oil tank inlets and remove the hex screw in
the lower side of the motor. Drain the oil into the container.
• Before filling up again, set and tighten the hex screw and
follow instructions in page 8.
Oil Change
• Before removing the spark plug clean the area around the
spark plug base to stop dust or debris enter into the motor.
Remove the spark plug.
•
Clean the carbon deposits from the spark plug electrodes.
Use a spark plug cleaner or a wire brush.
• If you find the old one is worn or using it again is doubtful
replace the spark plug using an identical LG F7RTC spare
plug.
•
Verify the gap between electrodes. It shall be 0,027” to 0,031”.
If necessary, adjust the gap by carefully bending the earth
connection electrode.
•
Verify the spark plug joint.
•
Set the spark plug in place. Thread it and tighten by hand.
•
Tighten with a wrench to compress the washer. If it is a
new spark plug, give it a 1/2 turn to press the washer in an
adequate manner. If using an old spark plug give it an 1/8
to 1/4 turn to compress the washer properly.
Use care to adjust the spark plug
correctly. Otherwise the motor can get too hot and get
damaged.
Spark Plug Maintenance
• Remove the sponge air filter and rinse it with clean
water.
• Press the filter lightly to remove the excessive water.
• Apply a thin layer of motor oil to the filter. Let it drip.
• Set the filter in place. Double-check it sits perfectly into
the compartment. Otherwise, dust will enter the motor
and cause premature wear.
• Set the filter cover back in place. Tighten the wing nut.
