DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Clean fuel tank each year or before storing the pressure washer for extended periods of time. To drain the fuel tank
and carburetor:
1. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. Position the container
so it will catch fuel draining from the carburetor drain screw.
2. Loosen the drain screw until fuel begins to flow out of the carburetor, then turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
The gas tank will drain through the carburetor.
CAUTION! Store the emptied gasoline in a safe place. Do not store fuel for more than 3 months.
DRAINING THE SOAP (FIG. 18)
To drain the soap, unplug the hose (Fig. 18 - 1). Use a container to
hold the draining soap. Once the soap is done draining, reconnect
the hose.
SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
The spark plug is important for proper engine operation. A good
spark plug should be intact, free of deposits, and properly gapped.
Refer to Recommended Maintenance Schedule.
To inspect the spark plug (Fig. 19 & 20):
1. Remove spark plug boot (Fig. 19 - 1). Be careful not to tear insu-
lation or wiring.
2. Unscrew the spark plug from the engine using a spark plug
wrench. There is limited space for the wrench to turn. Use both
rows of holes in the spark plug wrench to gain leverage to loosen
the plug.
3. Visually inspect the spark plug for cracks or excessive electrode
wear. Replace as necessary.
4. Measure the plug gap with a wire gauge. The gap should be 0.7-
0.8 mm (0.028-0.031 in). (Fig. 20)
5. If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from
around the spark plug base then re-gap the spark plug.
6. Screw the spark plug back into the spark plug hole using the
spark plug wrench. Do not over-tighten spark plug. Recommended
tightening of spark plug is ½ to ¾ of a turn after the spark plug
gasket contacts the spark plug hole, or 15 ft-lb. Reinstall the spark
plug boot.
