Spark Plug:
Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Air Filter:
Clean the air filter.
Recoil Starter Rope:
Extend the recoil starter rope to check its condition. If the
rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by an authorized
service center.
Hoses and Pump:
Fill the detergent tank with clean water and spray through
spray wand until tank is empty to flush any soap residue
from the unit.
Remove all hoses.
Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTE: Regular use of fuel stabilizer and pump protector
will give you better performance of the unit and increase
the life of the pump. See the Replacement Parts List for
available sizes and part numbers of these items and call
customer service at 1-800-726-5760 to order.
MAINTENANCE
Handle:
Pull the handle release knob out and lower the handle to
the down position.
For winterizing and long-term storage:
Disconnect the water connection.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the engine.
Pull recoil rope and jump engine several times to eliminate
any water remaining in the pump.
Coil the hoses and place in the hook-and loop strap on the
unit's handle. Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
CAUTION:
The use of a pump protector is recommended to prevent
cold weather damage during storage over the winter
months.
