PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE
Gheck and Clean Inlet Screen: Remove
Clean if it is clogged or replace if it is torn.
Check High Pressure Hose: High pressure hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking,abuse, inspect hose
each time before using it. Check for cuts, leaks, abra- sions or bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditionsexist, replace hose immediately.
=t DANGER: Water spraying from a leak is capable of Injecting material into skin.
NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace with hose that meets minimum pressure rat- ing of your pressure washer.
Check Detergent Hose: Examine the filter on the deter- gent hose and clean if clogged. Hose should fit tightly on barbed fitting. Examine hose for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or hose if either is damaged.
Check Gun and Wand: Examine hose connection to gun and make sure it is secure. Test trigger by pressing it and making sure it springs back into place when you release it. Put safety latch in ON position and test trig- ger. You should not be able to press trigger.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and keep wire away from spark plug.
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
Oil level should be checked priorto each use or at least every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
Change oil after first 8 hours of operation. Change oil every 50 hours thereafter. If you are using your pressure
washer under extremely dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change oil more often.
Change oil while engine is stillwarm from running, as follows:
•Before you tip the pressure washer to drain oil, drain fuel tank by runningpressure washer until fuel tank is empty.
•Clean area around oil fill, remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Wipe dipstickclean.
Tip your pressure washer as shown to drain oil com- plelety into a suitable container. When crankcase is
empty, return the pressure washer to its upright posi- tion.
Fill engine crankcase with recommended oil until oil level is at FULL point on dipstick. Do not overfill
above that mark. About 20 ounces is required. POUR SLOWLY.

When engine crankcase is filled to proper level, install and tighten oil cap/dipstick.
