GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
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 the pressure washer as instructed in this manual.
NOTE: Should you have questions about replacing
components on your Troy-Bilt pressure washer, please call
1-888-611-6708 for assistance.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer. Check the spray
gun and nozzle extension assembly for wear.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner's
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or 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. Please refer to your
engine owner's manual for more details.

the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.
