„ Using a straightened paper clip or nozzle cleaning tool
(not provided), free any foreign materials clogging or
restricting the nozzle.

PUMP MAINTENANCE
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you notice
any leaking of lubricant around the pump oil seals, take the
pressure washer to an qualified service center for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer
pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may damage
the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
USING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER CHARGER
See Figure 23.
When storing the pressure washer, connect the battery
maintainer charger to keep the battery fully charged and
ready for use.
NOTE: The battery maintainer charger provided should only
be used with the 12V 4.5Ah/20HR sealed lead acid battery
model RT1245B supplied with this pressure washer.
„ Plug the battery maintainer charger into a standard
household 120V receptacle. Make sure the household
power supply is 120V, 60 Hz, AC only.
„ Remove the input cover and connect the battery maintainer
charger to the pressure washer's maintainer input. The
light on the battery maintainer charger will illuminate red
while the battery is charging.
„ The battery will become slightly warm to the touch while
charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
When battery is fully charged, the red light will turn green.
NOTE: If the light does not illuminate, the battery maintainer
fuse may need to be replaced. Check the fuse and replace
if needed.
„ Disconnect the battery maintainer charger before operating
the pressure washer. Place the cover over the the pressure
washer's maintainer input when not in use.
CHANGING BATTERY MAINTAINER FUSE
See Figure 24.
NOTICE:
Do not use a higher rated fuse other than the specified
amperage. This could cause damage to the product.
„ Open the fuse holder and remove the old fuse.
„ Insert new 7.5 amp fuse and close the fuse holder.
MAINTENANCE
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 25.
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 to order.
WARNING:
While storing, keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides
of this product, including overhead. Allow a minimum
of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before storage. Heat
created by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot
enough to ignite combustible objects.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the soap tank
before storing.
„ Drain the fuel tank completely by running the pressure
washer until the gas runs out. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
NOTE: Make sure the water supply is connected and
turned on when allowing the pressure washer engine to
run.
„ Make sure the engine switch is in the OFF position and
the fuel valve is in the CLOSED position.
„ Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
„ Empty the pump by pulling on the starter grip and rope
about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid from
the pump.
NOTICE:
The use of a pump protector is required after each use
and before storing to prevent cold weather and seal
damage during storage. Failure to use pump protector
will void your warranty.
„ Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant
as described in Adding/Checking Engine Lubricant in
the Operation section of this manual.
„ 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 grip and rope
two or three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
„ Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as necessary.
