14 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
14.1 Clearing a blockage
WARNING:
Before checking, adjustments, cleaning or maintaining the pressure washer, the engine must
be stopped and cooled down. Ensure, that the pressure is released completely
If at any time the flow rate reduces splutters or is inconsistent
release the trigger and switch “OFF” the machine. Squeeze
the trigger to relieve any pressure and check the jet in the end
of the lance for any blockage. If a blockage is suspected use
the jet cleaning tool to remove any blockage. It is important
that the water jet is checked and cleaned regularly using the
jet cleaning tool supplied. Turn the engine off and disconnect
from the water supply before clearing a blockage.
14.2 Routine maintenance
14.2.1 Spark plug
After every 50 hours of running the spark plug
should be removed. Check the colour of the
deposits on the end of the spark plug it should be
a “Tan” colour. Remove all deposits using a stiff
brush a brass wire brush is ideal. Check the spark
plug gap and adjust if required. The correct gap
should be 0.7 to 0.8mm.
14.2.2 Engine oil replacement
We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 40 hours of use, then once every 100
hours.

Place the machine on a level surface and
warm up the engine for several minutes.

Then stop the engine.

Place a suitable container below the pump to
catch the used oil.

Remove the oil fill cap, oil drain plug and the
washer so that the oil can be completely
drained. You will need to use a tube or other
similar device to prevent the oil leaking onto
the frame of the pressure washer.

Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap
and O-ring and if damaged replace.

Reinstall the oil drain plug and the washer.
Tighten the drain plug securely.

Add engine oil to at least half of the dipstick.

Reinstall the oil fill cap securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do not
throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
