MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
 Make sure the on/off switch is OFF and fuel valve is
CLOSED.
 Disconnect the water connection.
 Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTICE:
The use of a pump protector is strongly recommended
after each use and before storing to prevent cold weather
and seal damage during storage.
 Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in
Adding/Checking Engine Lubricant in
the Operation section of this manual.
 Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
 Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
 Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
 Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
 Clean the air filter.
 Extend the starter grip and rope rope to check its condition.
If the rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by an
authorized service center.
 Remove all hoses. Coil the hoses and store as shown.
Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
 Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
 Pull the starter grip and rope grip three or four times to
clean lubricant from the combustion chamber.
 Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe lubricant from
the spark plug and return it to the cylinder.
 Reconnect the spark plug wire.
 Refuel the machine as described earlier in the operator’s
manual.
