ADD FUEL
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.
NOTE:
Avoid power washer damage. Failure to follow Operator’s
Manual for fuel recommendations voids warranty.
• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.
• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.
To protect the fuel system from gelling, mix in a fuel stabilizer when
adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If you experience
starting or performance problems after using fuel, switch to a
different fuel provider or change brands.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
Turn power washer OFF and let it cool at least two (2) minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in
tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
