Maintenance and Storage
Maintenance Mode
Before performing any maintenance on the pressure washer, it must be placed in maintenance mode.
1.) Turn off engine.
2.) Turn off water supply.
3.) Squeeze trigger to relieve system pressure.
4.) Shut off fuel valve.
5.) Unplug spark plug wire from spark plug, (see engine owners’ manual).
Belt Tension
Some general rules of belt tension are:
1.) Ideal tension is the lowest tension without belt slippage.
2.) Over tightening decreases belt and bearing life.
3.) Keep belts clean and free of foreign material that may cause slippage.
4.) Tighten belts when slipping.
5.) We recommend not applying belt dressing. May cause damage and early belt failure.
Tightening Belts
1) Loosen pump mount bolts (4 places).
2) Ensure all belts are the same tension
3) Re-tighten pump mount bolts.
a) Torque mounting bolts to 29.4 ft-lbs.
4) Check belt tension after first 24 hours of running then routinely with each oil change.
