Use and Care Guide

MAINTENANCE
• Drain the fuel tank completely by running the pressure washer until the gas runs out. Stored
gas can go stale in 30 days.
NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and turned on when allowing the pressure
washer engine to run.
• Make sure the engine switch is in the OFF position and and fuel valve is in the CLOSED
position.
• Disconnect both the high pressure and low pressure water connections.
• Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope about 6 times. This should remove
most of the liquid from the pump.
• Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant as described in the engine manual.
• Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-
cooled, four-cycle oil through the spark plug hole into the combustion chamber.
• Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter grip and rope 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.
