BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
ON THE PRESSURE WASHER REVIEW
THE SAFETY SECTION STARTING ON
PAGE 5.
Avoid accidentally starting the pressure
washer during maintenance by removing
the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
Allow hot components to cool to
the touch prior to performing any
maintenance procedure.
Internal pressure can build in the engine
crankcase while the engine is running.
Removing the oil fill plug/dipstick while
the engine is hot can cause extremely hot
oil to spray out of the crankcase and can
severely burn skin. Allow engine oil to
cool for several minutes before removing
the oil fill plug/dipstick.
Always perform maintenance in a well
ventilated area. Gasoline fuel and fuel
vapors are extremely flammable and can
ignite under certain conditions.

sustained high-load, high-temperature, or unusually
wet or dusty environments, will require more frequent
periodic maintenance. The intervals listed in the
maintenance schedule should be treated only as a
general guideline.
