13.2.3 Air filter
After every 100 hours of running or every month,
the air filter (picture 1, part 16) should be
removed, examined for deterioration and cleaned.
Clean the air filter thoroughly using
environmentally friendly water based degreasing
agent. Allow to dry fully then replace the air filter.
Warning! Never run the engine without the air filter
fitted.
13.2.4 Fuel tank filter
After every 150 hours of running or every three
months the fuel tank filter should be removed and
cleaned. Remove the fuel tank filter cap and the
filter, clean the filter thoroughly using
environmentally friendly water based degreasing
agent and re-fit.
14 STORAGE
If the engine (picture 1, part 13) is not to be used or is to be stored for more than one month
the following storage procedure should be carried out. Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank
(picture 1, part 9) and the carburettor ensure that all the fuel has been removed.

Remove the spark plug

Pour approximately one tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole.

With the ignition turned OFF gently pull on the recoil starter cord (picture 1, part 17)
several times. Re-fit the spark plug continue to pull the recoil starter cord until the piston is
on the compression stroke (when resistance is felt) then stop pulling.
Store the pressure washer in a dry well ventilated place under a cover to prevent any dust or
debris from accumulating on the pressure washer.
15 PREPARATION FOR WINTER AND LONG TERM STORAGE
If the pressure washer is not to be used for more than 3 months or if there is a danger of ice or
frost during winter months the pump unit will require protection to prevent seizing and damage
caused by freezing. To protect the pump unit, mix a solution of automotive antifreeze as
recommended on the antifreeze packaging. Carefully pour the solution into the pressure
washer pump inlet. When the solution drains out of the outlet, seal the outlet with a cork or
other suitable bung. Continue to pour the antifreeze solution into the inlet until the pump is full
then seal the inlet with a cork or other suitable bung.
When the pressure washer is to be used for the first time following the antifreeze protection
ensure that all the antifreeze is flushed out of the pump, hose and lance.
When the pressure washer is first started, small leaks may occur from the pump. These will
disappear after a short time.
