SPARK ARRESTOR SERVICE
Allow the mufer to cool completely before servicing the
spark arrestor. Check and clean the spark arrestor after
every 100 hours of use or every season. Failure to clean the
spark arrestor will result in degraded engine performance.
1. Place the pressure washer on a level surface.
2. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark
arrestor screen with a wire brush. The spark arrestor
must be free of breaks and tears. Replace the spark
arrestor if damaged.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free
operation and pressure washer longevity.
NOTICE
Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate,
causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines,
fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup
restricts the ow of fuel, which can prevent the engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use
of fuel stabilizer signicantly increases the storage life of
gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Never store a pressure washer with fuel in the tank
indoors or in a poorly ventilated area where the fumes
can come in contact with an ignition source such as
a pilot light of a stove, water heater, clothes dryer, or
any other gas appliance, or a spark from an electric
appliance.

gasoline stabilizer. Drain the
carburetor oat bowl.
