MAINTENANCE

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent bucket before storing.

NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you better performance and increase the life of the machine.

Discharge Fuel:

Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in

30days.

Engine Oil:

Drain the oil and replace with fresh, clean oil.

Spark Plug:

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle oil through the spark plug hole into the combustion chamber.

Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.

Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces- sary.

Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected.

Air Filter:

Clean the air filter.

Hoses and Pump:

Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes. Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from the pump.

PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean oil from the combustion chamber.

Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe oil from the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.

Reconnect the spark plug wire.

Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s manual.
