GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using
it. 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 pressure washer 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 high pressure washer as instructed in this
manual.
WARNING! Water spraying from a leak is
capable of injecting material into skin. Inspect hose
each time before using it. Never repair a high
pressure hose. Replace it with another hose that
exceeds the maximum pressure rating of your
pressure washer.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner’s
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter and check the gun and
adjustable 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.
Please refer to your engine owner’s manual for more
details.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or

2.
Shut off the engine and let it cool, then remove all
hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.
3.
Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the
recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most
of the liquid in the pump.
O–Ring Maintenance
Through the normal operation of your pressure washer,
o–rings, which keep the connections of the hoses and gun
tight and leak–free, may become worn or damaged.
Provided with your pressure washer is an O–Ring
Maintenance Kit which includes replacement o-rings,
rubber washer and water inlet filter.
NOTE: To protect the unit from freezing temperatures,
draw RV antifreeze (non-alcohol) into the pump by pouring
the solution into a 3-foot section of garden hose connected
to inlet adapter and pulling recoil handle twice.
To remove a worn or damaged o–ring:
• Use a small flathead screwdriver to get underneath the
o-ring and pry it off.

* NOTE: For the purpose of this warranty “consumer” use means personal residential household use by
original purchaser. “Commercial” use means all other uses, including rental, construction, commercial and
income producing purposes. Once a pressure washer has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be
considered a commercial use pressure washer for the purposes of this warranty.
During said warranty period, the COMPANY will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination by the
COMPANY or COMPANY-Authorized Dealers, is found to be defective under normal use and service**. All transportation
costs under warranty, including return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the
purchaser.
** NORMAL WEAR: As with all mechanical devices, pressure washers need periodic parts service and
replacement to perform well. This warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life
of a part or pressure washer pump.
This warranty does not include: Used products and demonstration equipment. Parts, such as GUNS, HOSES, WANDS,
NOZZLES or other wear items such as quick couplers, oil, gauges, belts, o-rings, filters, pump packing, etc. Pumps which
have been run without water supplied. Damage or malfunctions resulting from: accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations,
or improper servicing. Freezing or chemical deterioration. Normal maintenance such as adjustments, fuel system cleaning
and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon or lime, etc.).
THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, SPECIFICALLY,
THE COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE
DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO THE TIME PERIOD AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY
FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IS
EXCLUDED, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE. THE
COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER EQUIPMENT, OR ANY
COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT: AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
For service, see your nearest COMPANY-Authorized warranty service facility or call 1-877-544-0982. Warranty service can
be performed only by a COMPANY-Authorized service facility. This warranty will not apply to service at any other facility.
At the time of requesting warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
