TOapply detergent,follow these steps:

1. Reviewuse of spray tips.

2. Preparedetergent solution as required by job.

3. Placesmall filter end of detergent siphoning tube into

detergent container.

NOTICE Make surethe filter is fully submerged in detergent

while applying detergent.

NOTICE Contact with the hot muffler could damage

GeneralRecommendations

Regular maintenancewill improve the performance and

extend the life of the pressure washer.See anyqualified

dealerfor service.

The pressurewasher's warranty does not cover items that

havebeen subjectedto operator abuseor negligence.To

receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must

maintain the pressure washer as instructed in this manual,

including proper storage as detailedin Winter Storageand

Long TermStorage.

NOTICE Should you havequestions about replacing

components on your pressure washer, pleasecall

Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to

properly maintain your pressure washer.

All serviceand adjustments should be made at least once

eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance

Schedulechart above.

NOTICE Onceayear you should cleanor replacethe spark

plug, clean or replacethe air filter, and checkthe spray gun

and nozzleextension assembly for wear. A new spark plug

and cleanair filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help

your engine run better and last longer.

Pump Oil

DONOTattempt any oil maintenanceon this pump. The

pump is pre-lubricated and sealedfrom the factory, requiring

Carburetor Adjustment

Thecarburetor onthis engine is low emission, it is equipped

with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve.Top speedhas been

set at the factory. If adjustment is required,seean

authorized servicedealer.

_i_ CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds could

result in minor injury and/or pressure washer damage.

Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.

• DO NOTtamper with governor spring, links or other partsto

increase enginespeed. Pressurewasher supplies correct rated

pressure and flow when running at governed speed.

• DO NOTmodify pressure washer in any way.

After EachUse

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.

Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze

WinterStorage

NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing

temperatures.

= Failure to do so will permanently damageyour pump and render

your unit inoperable.

= Freezedamage is not covered under warranty.

To protecttheunit from freezing temperatures:

1. Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section After EachUse.

2. Use pump saver, IVlodei6039, to treat pump. This

minimizes freezedamageand lubricates pistons and

seals.

3. If pump saver is not available,connect a 3-foot section

of garden hoseto water inlet adapter. Pour

RV-antifreeze(antifreezewithout alcohol) into hose.

Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect3-foot hose.

4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

LongTermStorage

if you do not plan to usethe pressure washer for morethan

30 days,you must preparethe engine and pump for long

term storage.

Protect Fuel System

FuelAdditive:

Fuelcan becomestale when stored over 30 days.Stalefuel

causesacid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or

on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepfuel fresh, use Briggs

& Stratton FRESHSTART® fuel stabilizer, availableasa

liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

Thereis no needto drain gasolinefrom the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Runthe engine

for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizerthroughout the fuel

system. The engine andfuel canthen be stored up to

24 months.

If gasoline in the engine hasnot beentreated with a fuel

stabilizer, it must be drained into an approvedcontainer. Run

the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The useof a fuel

stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto

maintain freshness.

ChangeEngine Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.Refill

with recommendedgrade.See ChangingEngine Oilin Engine

Maintenance.

Protectingthe Pump

To protect the pump from damagecaused by mineral

deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver,Model 6039, to treat

pump. This preventsfreezedamageand lubricates pistons

and seals.

NOTICE PumpSaveris availableas an optional accessory. It

is not included with the pressurewasher. Contact the nearest

authorized servicecenter to purchase PumpSaver.

NOTICE You must protect your unit from freezing

temperatures.

.Failureto do so will permanently damageyour pump andrender

your unit inoperable.

*Freezedamage is not coveredunder warranty.

To use PumpSaver,makesure the pressure washer is turned

off and disconnectedfrom supply water. Readandfollow all

instructions and warnings given on the PumpSaver

container.

Other Storage Tips

1. DONOTstore fuel from one seasonto another unless it

has beentreated as described in Protect FuelSystem.

2. Replacefuel container if it starts to rust. Rustand/or

dirt in fuel can cause problems if it's usedwith this

unit.

3. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not

retain moisture.

,& WARNING Storagecovers could causea fire

resulting in death,serious injury and/or property

damage.

• DO NOTplacea storage cover over ahot pressure washer.

• Let equipmentcool for a sufficient time before placing the

cover on the equipment.

4. Store unit in a cleanand dry area.
