GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the
operator must maintain the pressure washer as
instructed in this manual.
NOTE: Should you have questions about replacing
components on your Troy-Bilt pressure washer, please
call 1-888-611-6708 for assistance.
• Some adjustments will need to be made periodically
to properly maintain your pressure washer. Check the
spray gun and nozzle extension assembly for wear.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine
operator's manual should be made at least once
each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug, clean or replace the air filter. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer. Please
refer to your engine operator's manual for more details.
• If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure
at the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.
Before Each Use
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check water inlet screen for damage.
3. Check in-line filter for damage.
4. Check high pressure hose for leaks.
5. Check detergent siphoning tube/filter for damage.
6. Check spray gun and nozzle extension assembly
for leaks.
7. Rinse out garden hose to flush out debris.

MAINTENANCE
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examine the screen on the water inlet. Clean it if the
screen is clogged or replace it if screen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before
using it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of
cover, damage or movement of couplings. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
• NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
• Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum
pressure rating of unit.
Check Detergent Siphoning Tube
Examine the filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged. The tube should fit tightly on the barbed
fitting. Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the
filter or tube if either is damaged.
Check Gun and Nozzle Extension
Examine the hose connection to the spray gun and
make sure it is secure. Test the trigger by pressing it and
making sure it "springs back" into place when you
release it. Put the trigger lock in the ON position and test
the trigger. You should not be able to press the trigger.
Check In-Line Filter
Refer to Figure 14 and service the in-line filter if it
becomes clogged, as follows:
