MAINTENANCE

changing the OIL

See Figure 24.

nPlace a container under the pressure washer.

nRemove the oil drain plug and drain the old oil.

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

nReplace the oil drain plug.

nReplace the oil with new, clean oil. This engine will hold 20 oz. or .6 liters of oil (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30).

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

checking a fouled spark plug

See Figure 25.

nClean carbon deposits off the spark plug electrode using a plug cleaner or wire brush.

nCheck electrode gap. The gap should be .6 mm - .7 mm. Adjust the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side electrode.

Replacement spark plug: NKG E6RC or equivalent

nozzle maintenance

See Figure 26.

Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or dirty nozzle.

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

nRemove the nozzle from the spray wand. NOTE: Never point the spray wand at your face.

nUsing the nozzle cleaning tool provided, free any foreign materials clogging or restricting the nozzle.

nUsing a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards or from the outside to the inside).

nReconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.

nTurn on the water supply and start the engine.
