GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should
be replaced at an authorized service center.
Before running the engine, perform the following pre-
operation steps:
 Check that all bolts, nuts, etc., are securely tightened.
OPERATION
 Turn the pressure washer off.
 Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels
then roll the machine to the desired position.

MAINTENANCE

 Make sure the air filter is clean.
 Check both the engine lubricant level and the fuel tank
level; refill as needed.
 Inspect the work area for hazards.
 If there is excessive noise or vibration, stop the unit
immediately.

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

See Figure 18.
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while
squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or
dirty nozzle.
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Remove the nozzle from the spray wand.
NOTE: Never point the spray wand at your face.
 Using a straightened paper clip or nozzle cleaning tool
(not provided), free any foreign materials clogging or
restricting the nozzle.
 Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
 Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
 Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
See Figure 19.
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of
performance, and shorten the life span of the engine. Check
the air filter monthly. For best performance, replace the air
filter at least once a year.
 Push the tab on the air filter cover to open, then remove
the air filter cover.
 Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.
 Lightly tap or blow out dirt particles from filter.
 Reinstall the air filter.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
 Reinstall the air filter cover.
