Congrats on your purchase !! A Blaster is a simple machine and easy to work on. In addition to leak test , check every nut and bolt , except for the engine . Should use a torque wrench for anything on the engine.

I prefer a Clymers Repair manual. Others like the online PDF manual
I know the Clymers has a good section on general maintenance.

Welcome. Blasters are good machines, and very reliable when taken care of.

Get a manual like stated, and ask questions when you need help. Those are the best points I can give you.

As Dirty mentioned, ask questions , BUT the search function here works GREAT , use it !!

Also, if you need to work on the engine, clean it first.
Even if just changing the plug, brush/wipe the bottom of the tank.
