• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner’s
manual should be made at least once each season.
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
tube if either is damaged.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter.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 Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure.Test the trigger by pressing it and making
sure it “springs back” into place when you release it. Put
the safety latch in the ON position and test the trigger.You
should not be able to press the trigger.
• If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure at
the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.

PREPARING THE UNIT
FOR STORAGE
To use PumpSaver, make sure the pressure washer is
turned off and disconnected from supply water. Read and
follow all instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver
container.
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
“freeze” pump action. If you do not plan to use the pressure
washer for more than 30 days, follow this procedure:
1.
Flush detergent siphoning tube by placing filter into a
pail of clean water while running pressure washer in
low pressure mode. Flush for one to two minutes.
2.
Shut off engine and let it cool, then remove high
pressure and garden hoses. Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug.
3.
Empty pump of liquids by pulling engine recoil handle
about 6 times.This should remove most liquid in pump.
4.
Use pump saver to prevent corrosion build up and
freezing of pump.
5.
CAUTION
You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures.
• Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and
render your unit inoperable.
• Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION
Read and follow all cautions and warnings on the
PumpSaver can label.
• Always wear eye protection when using PumpSaver.
CAUTION
PumpSaver will drip from pump after treatment and
will stain wood and concrete.
Store unit in a clean, dry area.
• Protect surfaces from dripping PumpSaver.
Protecting the Pump
NOTE: If PumpSaver is not available, 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 protect the pump from damage caused by mineral
deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver to treat pump.This
prevents freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.
NOTE: PumpSaver is available as an optional accessory. It is
not included with the pressure washer. Contact the nearest
authorized service center to purchase PumpSaver.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
We welcome warranty repair and apologize to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most
warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty service would not
apply if equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation.
Similarly, the warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered
or modified. During the warranty period, the Authorized Service Dealer, at its option, will repair or replace any part that, upon examination, is found to
be defective under normal use and service. This warranty will not cover the following repairs and equipment:
•
Normal Wear: Outdoor Power Equipment, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts and service to perform well. This warranty does not
cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.
•
Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected to improper or unauthorized
installation or alteration and modification, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as,
in our judgment, to adversely affect its performance and reliability. This warranty also does not cover normal maintenance such as adjustments,
fuel system cleaning and obstruction (due to chemical, dirt, carbon, lime, etc.).
•
Other Exclusions: This warranty excludes wear items such as quick couplers, oil gauges, belts, o-rings, filters, pump packing, etc., pumps that
have been run without water supplied or damage or malfunctions resulting from accidents, abuse, modifications, alterations, or improper servicing
or freezing or chemical deterioration. Accessory parts such as guns, hoses, wands and nozzles are excluded from the product warranty. This
warranty excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturers control. Also excluded is used,
reconditioned, and demonstration equipment; equipment used for prime power in place of utility power and equipment used in life support
applications.
