Pressure Washer

18 years ago

I recently purchased a used Porter Cable 2400 pressure washer. I need an owner's manual, or at least I need a tutorial in basic maintenance and operation. I went to the Porter Cable/Dewalt website, but couldn't locate a manual in their directory. I believe the model is discontinued.

Basic operation directions are printed in fine print on the washer, but the directions refer the user to the owner's manual. The washer works fine, but I want to use it and maintain it properly.

The washer has a Honda engine. The pump is new, and I know it needs oil in it for it to operate properly, and I know to check the oil in the engine. I know to use nondetergent 30 wt. I know not to let it run longer than 60 seconds without running water through the wand to protect the pump. That's the extent of my knowledge.

If I can't locate an owner's manual, can any of you point me in the direction of a basic tutorial for the maintenance and operation of a gas powered pressure washer like the one I have purchased? This is the first one I have owned, although I have used rentals in the past. Thanks.
