Pump Lubrication; Pump Maintenance; Replacing The Battery - Ryobi RY803000E Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the en-
gine, relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle,
and locking the lock out on the trigger handle. NEVER
point the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-
connect feature contains small springs that could eject
the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow these in-
structions could result in an eye injury or other serious
personal injury.
 To free any foreign materials clogging or restricting the
nozzle, blow out or remove debris with a straightened
paper clip or fine needle (not included).
 Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
 Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
 Turn on the water supply and start the engine.

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.

PUMP MAINTENANCE

Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you no-
tice any leaking of lubricant around the pump seals, take
the pressure washer to a qualified service center for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer
pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may dam-
age the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
USING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER CHARGER
See Figure 20.
When storing the pressure washer, connect the battery
maintainer charger to keep the battery fully charged and
ready for use.
NOTE: The battery maintainer charger provided should only
be used with the 12V 4.5Ah/20HR sealed lead acid battery
model RT1245B supplied with this pressure washer.
 Plug the battery maintainer charger into a standard
household 120V receptacle. Make sure the household
power supply is 120V, 60 Hz, AC only.
 Disconnect the starter cable on the pressure washer from
the connection port on the battery.
 Connect the battery maintainer charger to the connection
port on the battery. The light on the battery maintainer
charger will illuminate red while the battery is charging.
 The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
When battery is fully charged, the red light will turn green.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: If the light does not illuminate, the battery main-
tainer fuse may need to be replaced. Check the fuse and
replace if needed.
When ready to use pressure washer:
 Disconnect the battery maintainer charger.
 Reconnect the starter cable on the pressure washer to
the connection port on the battery, making sure the plug
is fully seated.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

See Figures 21 - 22.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or explosion, do not
short circuit the battery terminals or charge in a sealed
container. Keep sparks and flame away. Do not use metal
tools for connections and keep metal objects away from
the battery terminals. Metal objects can make a connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together can cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
 Disconnect the starter cable on the pressure washer from
the connection port on the battery.
 Push the starter cable through the hole in the battery
bracket.
 Using a 10 mm wrench or socket (not provided), remove
the nuts, T-30 Torx bolts, and washers securing the soap
tank and battery bracket to the pressure washer frame.
 Lift the soap tank and remove the battery bracket.
NOTE: Be careful not to disconnect the soap injection
hose from the back of the soap tank.
 Remove the T-30 Torx bolts securing the battery holder
to the battery bracket. Remove the battery holder from
the bracket and set the bracket aside.
 Disconnect the battery holder from the battery:
• Disconnect the black wire from the battery's nega-
tive (–) terminal.
• Disconnect the red wire from the battery's positive (+)
terminal.
 Remove the old battery and dispose of according to local
and state regulations. Always abide by the safety warn-
ings provided with the battery.
 Connect the battery holder to the new battery:
• Connect the red wire to the battery's positive (+)
terminal.
• Connect the black wire to the battery's negative (–)
terminal.
 Place the battery holder with the new battery installed
onto the battery bracket in the same orientation as the
old one.
 Reinstall the bolts and tighten securely.
