storage & maintenance
specific maintenance:
pump:
Change the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation. After
initial change, every year or 500 hour intervals are recommended.
If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may be required in greater
frequency. Use SAE 40W Hydraulic Lubricant pump oil and fill
only to the center of the oil sight glass. Change Pump diaphragms
every 500 hours. Inspect check valves for spring fatigue and seat
wear.
Quick couplers: There is an o-ring seal inside the female quick-coupler.
This o-ring will deteriorate or, if the unit is allowed to pump without
the high pressure hose attached, it may be blown out occasionally.
Simply insert a replacement o-ring to correct the leak. (New o-
rings can be purchased from your dealer.)

pressure washer, it may be necessary to adjust the belt tension
