MAINTENANCE

When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to hot surfaces, water pressure, moving parts, or fire that can cause

serious injury or 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. If the pressure washer is used in unusual conditions, such as high-temperatures or dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance checks will be required.

ENGINE

Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for any and all maintenance.
