GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the high pressure washer does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator abuse or neg­
ligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator
must maintain high pressure washer as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your high pressure washer.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of
