ADD ENGINE OIL
1. Place power washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove orange oil fill cap/
dipstick.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of provided oil
bottle into oil fill opening. See Maintenance section for oil type
recommendation.
NOTE:
On some units there is more than one oil fill location. In these
instances it is only necessary to use one of the oil fill points.
4. Check periodically until the FULL mark is reached. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
NOTE:
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommend oil may result in engine
failure.

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.
