Engine Maintenance
See the engine operator’s manual for instructions on
how to properly maintain the engine.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON’T
POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES.
RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION
CENTERS.
Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester
Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other
damage. Remove the spark arrester, if equipped, and
inspect for damage or carbon blockage. If replacement
parts are required, make sure to use only original
equipment replacement parts.
After Each Use
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of
time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts
and freeze pump action. Follow these procedures after
every use:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun
in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze
trigger to relieve trapped pressure, and let engine
cool.
2. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and
nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
3. Place the spray gun, nozzle extension and high
pressure hose in the accessory tray.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling
recoil handle about six times. This should remove
most liquid in pump.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
6. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
CAUTION Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with used motor oil.
• Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in
certain laboratory animals.
• Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage
fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns
resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5ft. (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of
pressure washer including overhead.
• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code,
Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any
forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land
unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained
in effective working order. Other states or federal
jurisdictions may have similar laws.
Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or
dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust
system installed on this engine.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in
the same position as the original parts.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high
pressure, every time you stop engine.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could
cause burns, fire or explosion resulting
in death or serious injury.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they could ignite fuel vapors.
