MAINTENANCE

Before performing maintenance on
the pressure washer, review Safety
on page 7 and the following
safety messages.

WARNING

Avoid accidentally starting the
pressure washer during maintenance
by removing the spark plug boot from
the spark plug.

Allow hot components to cool to
the touch prior to performing any
maintenance procedure.

Internal pressure can build in the
engine crankcase while the engine
is running. Removing the oil ﬁ ll plug/
dipstick while the engine is hot can
cause extremely hot oil to spray out
of the crankcase and can severely
burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for
several minutes before removing the oil
ﬁ ll plug/dipstick.

Always perform maintenance in a well-
ventilated area. Gasoline fuel and fuel
vapors are extremely ﬂ ammable and
can ignite under certain conditions.
