pressure washer pump oil image

Randi M

I need help finding out where the oil plug is located on a troy bilt pressure washer model number 020344 before I can change the oil. I would like to do this before I use it this summer.
Thanks for any help.

Answer
The manual states you can change the motor oil from the top by tipping it over and drain it from the dipstick hole with the air clearer side up as you tip it. You can drain it from the bottom by removing drain plug with a ratchet and square extension, oil can be drained from engine bottom. Also you must change the pump oil every 50 hours or once a year according to the manual. To change the pump oil, use a 8mm allen wrench to remove black pump oil cap between high pressure outlet and garden hose inlet. I have this pressure washer and I change the oil from the bottom. There is no drain hole near the dipstick on mine

I have a Troy-Bilt pressure washer 1 year old. I can not get any pressure there was dirt in pump outlet pipe. I cleaned out the dirt but now it will not build up pressure. Motor runs fine and if you wait a minute it will build up some pressure by not pulling trigger but will quickly drop.
