Maintenance
Observing regular maintenance intervals helps ensure
that you get maximum performance and life from the
pressure washer.
There is a break–in period for the engine and pump. After
changing the oil in these components following their
respective break–in periods, the interval between
required changes is longer.
If the unit is operating in dusty conditions, these
maintenance checks should be made more often.

To reduce risk of serious bodily injury, including
fluid injection, splashing in eyes or on skin or injury
from moving parts, always follow Pressure Relief
