Spray Tip Maintenance

A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun
trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure.
The principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a
spray tip clogged or restricted with foreign materials,
such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately
clean the spray tip following these instructions:
1. Shut OFF (0) engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press
red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which
could result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high
pressure, every time you stop engine.
3. Remove spray tip from end of nozzle extension.
4. Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material
clogging or restricting spray tip (A).

O–Ring Maintenance
Purchase an O–Ring Repair Kit, Sears item 75116, at
your local Sears or by calling 1-888-331-4569 or online
at www.sears.com. It is not included with the pressure
washer. This kit includes replacement o-rings and a
water inlet filter. Refer to the instruction sheet provided
in the kit to service your unit's o-rings.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water
that this equipment produces could cut
through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible
amputation.
• NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any
kind. Replace o-ring or seal.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

WARNING Unintentional sparking could cause
fire or electric shock resulting in
death or serious injury.
WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and
place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.
Oil
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service
SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special
additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil
viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best
viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard
starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased
oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
