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 accept-
able.
NOTE:
Avoid power washer damage. Failure to follow Oper-
ator’s Manual for fuel recommendations voids war-
ranty.
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 stabi-
lizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the
same. If you experience starting or performance prob-
lems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or
change brands.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flamma-
ble and explosive. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death.
4.3.1 — 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.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Fill to bottom of filter screen,
this will allow for fuel expansion (Figure 4-10).
3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
