Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply. 2. Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve any water pressure. 3. Disconnect the spray wand from the gun. 4. Remove the high pressure nozzle from the spray wand. Remove any obstructions with the nozzle cleaning tool provided and backflush with clean water. See Figure 6-2.

Engine Care A list of key engine maintenance jobs required for good performance by the pressure washer is given below. Follow the accompanying engine manual for a detailed list and instructions. • Maintain oil level as instructed in engine manual. • Service air cleaner as instructed in engine manual. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the engine manual. • Clean spark plug and reset the gap once a season. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each season. Check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifications. • Clean engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the top of the engine clean to permit proper air circulation. Remove all grass, dirt, and combustible debris from muffler area. • Engines stored between 30 and 90 days need to be treated with a gasoline stabilizer to prevent deterioration and gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts.
