Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service
dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals
(see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance
section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from
debris. See Clean Debris.

Carburetor Adjustment

The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. Top speed has been
set at the factory. If adjustment is required, see an
authorized service dealer.

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:

1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a

safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.

2. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure

outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and nozzle
extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.

3. Place the spray gun, nozzle extension and spray tips in

the accessory tray. Coil high pressure hose on hose
wrap provided on accessory tray.

4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil

handle about six times. This should remove most liquid
in pump.

5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
6. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term

Storage

on next page.

CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds could

result in minor injury.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.

• DO NOT tamper with governor spring, links or other parts to

increase engine speed. Pressure washer supplies correct rated
pressure and flow when running at governed speed.

• DO NOT modify pressure washer in any way.

WARNING The high pressure stream of water that

this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.

• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun

while system is pressurized.

• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button

and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.

WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive which could cause burns,
fire or explosion resulting in death or
serious injury.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes

dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they could ignite fuel vapors.
