MAINTENANCE
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 20.
Shut off the engine.
Clean the area around the lubricant drain plug, then re-
move the plug.
Tilt the pressure washer on its side as shown. Drain lu-
bricant into approved container.
NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still warm
but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and more
completely.
After the crankcase is completely drained, return the
pressure washer to an upright position.
Replace the lubricant drain plug.
Fill with lubricant following the instructions in Adding
Lubricant To The Engine earlier in this manual.
NOTE: Consult hazardous waste management guidelines in
your area for the proper way to dispose of used lubricant.
PUMP LUBRICATION
The pump on this product was lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 21.
Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storing the machine. Never place the unit in any position
other than upright on its wheels.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can’t damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent
bucket before storing.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Engine Lubricant:
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant.
Spark Plug:
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.
Air Filter:
Clean the air filter.
Hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
Handle:
Push the handle release button, and lower the handle to
the down position.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
Pull the recoil starter 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.
