MAINTENANCE
WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO HOT SURFACES, WATER PRESSURE, MOVING PARTS, OR FIRE RESULTING IN DEATH. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE, LET ENGINE COOL AND RELEASE ALL WATER PRESSURE. THE ENGINE CONTAINS FLAMMABLE FUEL. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR OPEN FLAMES WHILE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of your pressure washer, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an unit in a normal working environment. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your pressure washer is used. The modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment. If the pressure washer is in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment it will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
1.Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for any and all maintenance.
2.Pump oil (checking and changing). Refer to the following illustrations to identify which pump is on your pressure washer. Refer to the chart for oil type, oil capacity, and maintenance schedule (if applicable).
