13 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

13.1

Clearing a blockage

WARNING:
Before checking, adjustments, cleaning or maintaining the pressure washer, the engine must
be stopped and cooled down. Ensure, that the pressure is released completely

If at any time the flow rate reduces splutters or is
inconsistent release the trigger and switch “OFF”
the machine. Squeeze the trigger to relieve any
pressure and check the nozzle in the end of the
lance for any blockage. If a blockage is suspected
use the nozzle cleaning tool to remove any
blockage. It is important that the water nozzle is
checked and cleaned regularly using the nozzle
cleaning tool supplied. Turn the engine off and
disconnect from the water supply before clearing a
blockage.

13.2

Routine maintenance

13.2.1

Spark plug

After every 50 hours of running the spark plug
should be removed. Check the colour of the
deposits on the end of the spark plug it should be
a “Tan” colour. Remove all deposits using a stiff
brush a brass wire brush is ideal. Check the spark
plug gap and adjust if required. The correct gap
should be 0.7 to 0.8mm.

13.2.2

Engine oil replacement

We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 40 hours of use, then once every 100
hours.

Place the machine on a level surface and warm up
the engine for several minutes.

Then stop the engine.

Place a suitable container below the pump to
catch the used oil.

Remove the oil fill cap, oil drain plug and the
washer so that the oil can be completely drained.
You will need to use a tube or other similar device
to prevent the oil leaking onto the frame of the
pressure washer.

Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap and
O-ring and if damaged replace.

Reinstall the oil drain plug and the washer. Tighten
the drain plug securely.

Add engine oil to at least half of the dipstick.

Reinstall the oil fill cap securely.

Please dispose of used oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest
you take used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling centre. Do not throw it in a trash
or pour it on the ground or down a drain.
