MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more completely.

nAfter the crankcase is completely drained, return the pressure washer to an upright position.

nFill with lubricant following the instructions in Adding Lubricant To The Engine earlier in this manual.

NOTE: Consult hazardous waste management guidelines in your area for the proper way to dispose of used lubricant.

PUMP LUBRICATION

The pump on this product was lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica- tion is required.

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 25.

Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can’t damage it. Never store the unit in any position other than upright on its wheels.

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 30 days.

Engine Lubricant:

Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant.

Spark Plug:

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

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

nInspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as ­necessary.

nReinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire disconnected.

Air Filter:

nClean 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 starter grip and rope about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from the pump.

Handle:

nPull the handle release knob out and lower the handle to the down position.

PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

nPull the starter grip and rope three or four times to clean lubricant from the combustion chamber.

nRemove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.

nReconnect the spark plug wire.

nRefuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s manual.
