14.2 Clearing a blockage (Fig. 17)
Before checking, adjustments, cleaning or maintaining the pressure
washer, the engine must be stopped and cooled down. Ensure, that the
pressure is released completely
If at any time the flow rate reduces splutters or is inconsistent release the trigger and switch
“OFF” the machine. Squeeze the trigger to relieve any pressure and check the jet in the end of
the lance for any blockage. If a blockage is suspected use the jet cleaning tool to remove any
blockage. It is important that the water jet is checked and cleaned regularly using the jet
cleaning tool supplied. Turn the engine off and disconnect from the water supply before
clearing a blockage
14.3 Routine maintenance
14.3.1 Spark plug
After every 50 hours of running the spark plug should be removed. Check the colour of the
deposits on the end of the spark plug it should be a “Tan” colour. Remove all deposits using a
stiff brush a brass wire brush is ideal. Check the spark plug gap and adjust if required. The
correct gap should be 0.7 to 0.8 mm.
14.3.2 Engine oil replacement
We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 20 hours of use, then once every 100
hours.
▪ Place the machine on a level surface and warm up the engine for several minutes.
▪ Then stop the engine.
▪ Place a suitable container below the pump to catch the used oil.
▪ Remove the oil fill cap, oil drain plug and the washer so that the oil can be completely
drained. You will need to use a tube or other similar device to prevent the oil leaking onto
the frame of the pressure washer.
▪ Check the oil drain plug, gasket, oil filler cap and O-ring and if damaged replace.
▪ Reinstall the oil drain plug and the washer. Tighten the drain plug securely.
▪ Add engine oil to at least half of the dipstick.
▪ Reinstall the oil fill cap securely
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do not
throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
