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
or replace the air filter, and check the spray gun and nozzle
extension assembly for wear. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.

is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
CHECK HIGH PRESSURE HOSES
The high pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear, kinking, or
abuse. Inspect the hoses each time before using them. Check for
cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, damage or movement
of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose
immediately.
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.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST meet or exceed maximum
pressure rating of unit.
