PUMP MAINTENANCE

Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you notice
any leaking of lubricant around the pump oil seals, take the
pressure washer to an qualified service center for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer
pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may dam-
age the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
USING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER CHARGER
See Figure 21.
When storing the pressure washer, connect the battery
maintainer charger to keep the battery fully charged and
ready for use.
NOTE: The battery maintainer charger provided should only
be used with the 12V 4.5Ah/20HR sealed lead acid battery
model RT1245B supplied with this pressure washer.
 Plug the battery maintainer charger into a standard house-
hold 120V receptacle. Make sure the household power
supply is 120V, 60 Hz, AC only.
 Remove the input cover and connect the battery main-
tainer charger to the pressure washer's maintainer input.
The light on the battery maintainer charger will illuminate
red while the battery is charging.
 The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
When battery is fully charged, the red light will turn green.
NOTE: If the light does not illuminate, the battery main-
tainer fuse may need to be replaced. Check the fuse and
replace if needed.
 Disconnect the battery maintainer charger before oper-
ating the pressure washer. Place the cover over the the
pressure washer's maintainer input when not in use.
CHANGING BATTERY MAINTAINER FUSE
See Figure 22.
NOTICE:
Do not use a higher rated fuse other than the specified
amperage. This could cause damage to the product.
 Open the fuse holder and remove the old fuse.
 Insert new 7.5 amp fuse and close the fuse holder.
TO REPLACE THE BATTERY
See Figures 23 - 24.
 Drain lubricant and fuel from the pressure washer into
containers approved for lubricant and gasoline.
 Disconnect the black wire from the battery's negative (–)
terminal.
MAINTENANCE
 Disconnect the red wire from the battery's positive (+)
terminal.
 Carefully lay the pressure washer down so that it rests
on its handle.
NOTE: Do not attempt to access the battery by tilting
the unit as this may allow the pressure washer to fall
unexpectedly.
 Using a 10 mm wrench, remove the retaining bolt securing
the battery holder to the battery bracket. Lift and slide
the battery holder to the left until it disengages from the
bracket.
 Remove the old battery and dispose of according to local
and state regulations. Always abide by the safety warn-
ings provided with the battery.
 Put the battery holder on top of the new battery, then place
the new battery on the bracket in the same orientation as
the old one.
 Insert the battery holder's tab into the opening on the
battery bracket. Gently press down on the battery holder
while pushing it to the right to lock it into position.
 Install the retaining bolt and return the pressure washer
to its upright position.
 Connect the red wire to the battery's positive (+) terminal.
 Connect the black wire to the battery's negative (–)
terminal.
NOTE: Be careful not to short across the terminals when
installing. Shorting the terminals together can cause sparks,
damage to the battery or pressure washer, or even burns
or explosions.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 25.
NOTE: Regular use of fuel stabilizer and pump protector
will give you better performance of the unit and increase
the life of the pump.
