EMISSIONS CONTROL

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine
repair establishment or individual. However, to obtain "no
charge" emissions control service, the work must be performed
by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions Warranty.

POWER WASHER MAINTENANCE

Clean Debris
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from the cleaning
system. Keep the linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep the area
around and behind the muffler free from any combustible debris.
Inspect the cooling air slots and openings on the power washer.
These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Power washer parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of
overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Improper treatment of the power washer can damage it and
shorten its life.
• DO NOT insert any objects through the cooling slots.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
NOTE:

CHECK AND CLEAN INLET SCREEN

Examine the screen on the pump's water inlet. Clean the screen if
it is clogged, or replace the screen if damaged.

CHECK HIGH PRESSURE HOSES

The high pressure hoses can develop leaks from wear, kinking, or
abuse. Inspect the hoses each time before using them. Check for
cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, damage or movement
of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose
immediately.
Fluid Injection. This machine produces high-
pressure uid streams that can pierce skin.
Fluid injection will result in death or serious
injury.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST meet or exceed maximum
pressure rating of unit.

CHECK DETERGENT SIPHONING TUBE

Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean it 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.

CHECK SPRAY GUN

Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and make sure it is
secure. Test the trigger by pressing the trigger, it "springs back"
into place when you release it. Replace the spray gun immediately
if it fails to "spring back".

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun trigger
may be caused by excessive pump pressure. The principal cause
of excessive pump pressure is a nozzle clogged or restricted
with foreign materials, such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem,
immediately clean the nozzle following these instructions:
1. Shut off the engine and turn off the water supply.
2. ALWAYS point the spray gun in a safe direction, squeeze the
spray gun trigger to release retained high water pressure.
Fluid Injection. This machine produces high-
pressure uid streams that can pierce skin.
Fluid injection will result in death or serious
injury.
• Keep the high pressure hose connected to the pump and spray gun
while the system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point the spray gun in a safe direction, and squeeze the spray
gun trigger to release high pressure every time you stop the engine.
Engage the trigger lock when not in use.
3. Remove the nozzle from the end of nozzle extension.
