IMPORTANT: Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while
system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, squeeze spray gun
trigger to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.
Engage trigger lock when not in use.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend
the life of the power washer. See any qualified dealer for service.
The power washer’s warranty does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the power washer
as instructed in this manual, including proper storage as detailed
in Winter Storage and Long Term Storage.
NOTE:
Should you have questions about replacing components
on your power washer, please call 1-888-436-3722 for
assistance.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain your power washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once each
season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance Schedule
chart.
NOTE:
Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug, clean

filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
