Cleaning Air Filter (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of
burn. Engine and surrounding parts
are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Figure 1). Allow
engine to cool prior to servicing.
A dirty air cleaner will restrict airflow
to the carburetor. To prevent carbure-
tor mal func tion, service the air filter
regularly. Service more frequently
when operating the pressure washer in
extremely dusty areas.
WARNING: Using gasoline or flam-
mable solvent to clean the filter ele-
ment can cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING: Risk of fire. Do not
operate without air filter.
