GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the pressure washer as instructed in this manual.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner’s
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter and check the spray gun

MAINTENANCE
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
WARNING! Never repair a high pressure hose.
Replace it with another hose that exceeds the
maximum pressure rating of your pressure washer.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged.The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.
Check Gun and Adjustable Nozzle
Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure.Test the trigger by pressing it and making
sure it “springs back” into place when you release it. Put
the safety latch in the ON position and test the trigger.You
should not be able to press the trigger.

Contaminants

• Set up the pressure washer as described in “Preparing

and turn water on.
• Pull the trigger on the spray gun and hold.

the safety latch.
