the gap if necessary, by carefully bending the side electrode.
5. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
6. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the sealing washer.

Cautions during inspection
Disconnect the ignition plug wires before inspection or adjustment to prevent unexpected start of engine.
Do not touch the engine immediately after operation to prevent burn.
Use of fire is strictly prohibited when handling the fuel (gasoline).
Make sure to clean spilled fuel sufficiently before using the engine.
Do not wash the engine with water.
Do not change the setting revolution speed carelessly. (Consult your dealer when changing the revolution speed.)
Long-time storing
When releasing the engine from operation for more than 30 days, it must be serviced and stored as follows with care to prevent the starting trouble or mal-
function due to degeneration of fuel.
1. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and start to run the engine till it is stopped due to use-up of fuel.
2. Wash the inside of fuel tank and fuel filter with white kerosene.
Use of fire is strictly prohibited
3. Removing the ignition plug, inject a small quantity of new engine oil through the plughole.
After idling slowly for few revolutions operating the recoil starter, install the ignition plug.
Pull the recoil starter again and stop it at the position where it is felt heavy.
4. Clean the external surfaces with soft cloth and store it at a dry place free from fires.
● If the unit is left over without draining fuel, impurities in the fuel could clog the fuel passages such as the carburettor, fuel filter, or others, and cause engine
troubles.
Make sure to drain the fuel when storing the unit for a long period of time.
Sufficient care must be taken not to use fires at the vicinity when handling the fuel.
Warning!
Impurities in water may damage the high pressure pump and accessories. Make sure that the water supply to which the pressure washer is connected has
the appropriate specifications for an efficient and safe operation. For means of protection it is recommended to connect a water filter.
