Maintenance
Engine Oil Change
1.) Place a suitable container on the ground
to catch the used oil, then remove the
engine oil fill cap.
2.) Tip the pressure washer on its side to
pour the used oil out through the
engine’s oil fill tube.
3.) Please dispose of used oil in a manner
that is compatible with the environment.
We suggest you take used oil in a
sealed container to your local recycling
center or service station for reclamation.
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on
the ground, or dump it down the drain.
4.) With the pressure washer in a level
position, add oil to the engine. (see
engine owner’s manual for type of oil
and capacity)
