MAINTENANCE

Periodic Service

MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is to be performed before each use by knowledgeable, experienced owners or
certified service dealers. A poorly maintained pump can become a safety hazard. For the pump to operate
safely and properly throughout its product life-cycle, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are nec-
essary.
Risk of severe injury or property damage from fire or projectiles.
• Never start or operate a pump known or suspected to be damaged, defective, or malfunctioning.
• Do not make adjustments or repairs to the pump or engine while engine is operating.
• Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Correct any issues before operating the pump. Improper maintenance will void the pump's warranty.
Periodic Service
1. Refer to and follow instructions in the engine manufacturer's owner's manual for recommended engine
maintenance.
2. Turn engine off.
3. Allow unit to cool completely.
4. Remove and ground spark plug wire before any servicing to prevent accidental starting.
5. Check for any loose nuts, bolts, and attachments. Re-tighten as required.
6. Check engine, pump, and components for damage.
• Do not operate a damaged engine or pump.
• Contact the engine or pump manufacturer immediately for assistance.
7. Check engine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• Do not operate engine if a leak is found.
• Contact the engine manufacturer immediately for assistance.
8. Inspect for water leaks, especially between pump and engine. Service as required.
• If water is leaking, the seal inside pump is worn or damaged. Continued operation may cause
water damage to engine.
9. Inspect motor and pump mounts for damage and replace as required.
10. Refer to "Cleaning" on page 8
