Frequently Asked Questions - WPX3600 WESTINGHOUSE

How to start the Westinghouse WPX3600 pressure washer?
Make sure the water supply is on and the engine has oil. Open the fuel valve, set the choke to CHOKE if the engine is cold, then pull the starter handle slowly until you feel resistance, then pull quickly. Once started, set the choke to RUN.
What type of engine oil to use?
Use quality SAE 10W-30 oil. Capacity is about 500 ml. Check level with dipstick and do not overfill.
What gasoline to use?
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 to 93. Do not use E15 or E85. The ethanol blend is limited to 10% max.
How to change the engine oil?
Place the unit on a level surface, let the engine cool. Place a pan under the drain bolt, remove it with a 10 mm wrench, let the oil drain, then reinstall the bolt. Fill with 500 ml of SAE 10W-30 oil through the fill cap.
How to clean the spray nozzles?
Detach the nozzle from the wand. Use the provided cleaning tool to dislodge particles. Rinse with clean water to remove debris.
What is the warranty period?
Warranty coverage is subject to product registration. For details, contact customer service at 1-855-944-3571 or visit westinghouse.com.
How to store the unit for winter?
Drain the fuel tank and carburetor. Add RV antifreeze to the pump. Store in a dry, frost-free place. Make sure all hoses are drained and dry.
What to do if the engine does not start?
Check that the fuel valve is open, there is fuel, the choke is in the correct position, the spark plug is connected and clean. If the problem persists, consult the manual for other possible causes.
Can I use hot water?

SPRAYING TIPS

For most cleaning, keep nozzle 8-24 in. (20-61 cm) away from cleaning surface.

  • Damage may occur to the cleaning surface if spraying too close, especially with high-pressure nozzles.
  • When beginning to spray, start farther away and move closer to avoid damage to the surface.
  • To prevent damage to tires, allow at least 6 in. (15 cm) between a tire and the nozzle.

DETERGENT USE

See Figure 18.

The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Many detergents are customized for pressure washer use for specific cleaning tasks. The detergent is diluted at approximately 1:12 by the pump injection system on the unit

NOTICE

Only use detergents designed for pressure washers. Pressure washer detergents are as thick as water. Using

thicker detergents, like dish soap, will clog the chemical injection system. Do not use household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions, which can damage the pump or cause property damage.

Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle. Always test in an inconspicuous area before beginning. You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the chemical action of detergents with high pressure rinses. On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work your way upward. This method prevents the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks. Begin high pressure rinsing at the bottom and work your way upward. On particularly tough stains, use a brush in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.

  • For WPX3600 and WPX3800, fill the detergent tank with cleaning solution.
  • For WPX4400, attach the siphon hose to the connector on the pressure washer. Insert the siphon hose into the bottle of cleaning solution.
  • Install the detergent nozzle (black) in the spray lance. Detergent will only be drawn through the pump when the black detergent nozzle is attached to the end of the spray lance.
  • Be sure the water supply is ON. Start the engine. Pull the trigger to spray the detergent solution.

NOTICE

NEVER use bleach in detergent tank. It will damage the pump and void the warranty.

  • Use long, even overlapping strokes to apply soap. Allow 3 to 5 minutes for the soap to soak in before rinsing. Do not allow the soap to dry on the surface before rinsing. Reapply soap if necessary to maintain a wet surface for the soap to soak in.

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, and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine from starting storage period. The use of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage life of gasoline. Full-time use of fuel mended. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

WARNING 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.

STORAGE TIME RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
Less than 1 month No service required.
2 to 6 monthsFill with fresh gasoline and add gasoline stabilizer. Drain the carburetor float bowl.
6 months or longerDrain the fuel tank and carburetor float bowl.

STORED FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS

  • Allow the pressure washer to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before storage.
  • Wipe the pressure washer with a moist cloth. Clean any debris from the muffler cooling vents.
  • Store the pressure washer in a well-ventilated, clean, dry location away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition such as areas with a spark-producing electric motor or where power tools are operated. Store in an area out of direct sunlight.
  • Do not store the pressure washer or gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

Even properly stabilized fuel can leave residue and cause corrosion if left long term. If storing the pressure washer for two to six months, drain the float bowl to prevent gum and varnish buildup in the carburetor.

WINTER STORAGE

Be sure the pressure washer hose is free of all water before storing for winter. In order to prevent corrosion and keep the water pump from freezing, add RV (non-toxic) antifreeze or similar pump-protection specifically made for pressure washers. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
