of the pump, When properly filled, the oil will be at
the half way point marked by the two triangles. Your
pressure washer pump is shipped with oil, Add oil
only if oil level is lower than the half way point on the
sight glass. Do not overfill, Use 30 weight non-
dete;gent oil if necessary.
,& CAUTION: Do Not use engine oil that has been [
shipped with your unit in your pump, Engine oil I
is detergent and your pump uses a non-detergent [
oil. Detergent oil can cause damage to your pump,j

funnel fill engine crankcase up to the last thread in the
oil port. Pour slowly. Oil reading will be inaccurate on
unlevet ground.
NOTE_ When adding oil to the engine crankcase; use
a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service SF,
SG, SH rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special addi-
tives, Select the oiFs viscosity grade according to
you expected operating temperatures.
SAE Vi.'_eesity Grades
Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.
The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in
ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in
higher than normai oil consumption. If multFviscosity
o]i is used, check the oi_ level more frequentIy to
prevent any posssible engine damage due to lack or
lubrication.
Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard
starting and possible engine damage dL_e to inad-
equate _ubrication.
