Check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace hose immediately. Never repair high pressure hose. Replace it with another hose that meets minimum pressure rat- ing of your pressure washer.
Note: In the State of California a spark arrestor is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
Note: If you equip the engine of your pressure wash- er with a spark arrestor muffler, the spark arrestor must be maintained in effective working order by the owner/operator.
You can order a spark arrestor (part # 398067) through your Sears Service Center.
