General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the pressure washer. See any
qualified dealer for service.
The pressure washer's 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 the pressure washer as
instructed in this manual, including proper storage as
detailed in Winter Storage and Long Term Storage.
NOTICE Should you have questions about replacing
components on your pressure washer, please call
(800) 743-4115 for assistance.
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. A new spark plug and clean air filter
assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine
run better and last longer. Follow requirements in the
Maintenance Schedule.

Pressure Washer Maintenance

Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from
pressure washer. Keep linkage, spring and controls
clean. Keep area around and behind muffler free from
any combustible debris. Inspect cooling air slots and
openings on the pressure washer. These openings
must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Pressure washer parts should be kept clean to reduce
the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated
debris.

NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer
could damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt,
oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the pump's water inlet. Clean
it if the screen is clogged or replace it if screen is
damaged.
