ADDING LUBRICANT TO THE ENGINE
See Figure 11.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
2 oz. of lubricant in the engine from testing. You must add
lubricant to the engine before starting it the first time.
CAUTION:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding lubricant
will result in engine failure.
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
Using 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30),
add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises to the up-
per portion of the hatched area on the dipstick (18 oz.,
4-cycle engine lubricant provided). Do not overfill.
Replace the oil cap / dipstick and securely tighten.
NOTE: This engine has a total lubricant capacity of 20.3 oz.
OXYGENATED FUELS
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL. IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems re-
sulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more
than the percentages of oxygenates stated below are not
covered under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E85 is not.
ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 12.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and prop-
erty damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit
is sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
pressure washer cool before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the
fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned off.
NOTE: Use unleaded gas only. DO NOT mix lubricant with gas.
Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap.
OPERATION
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly
pour gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately
1-1/2 in. below the top of the tank neck (this allows for
fuel expansion).
Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap “clicks”.
Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least
30 ft. from refueling site before starting engine. Do not
smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks!
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 13 - 14.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-
ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the
high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
Connect all hoses.
Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to
relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
To start the engine:
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
Pull choke out to the START position.
Grasp the starter grip and rope and pull slowly until resis-
tance is felt. Give the starter grip and rope a short, brisk
pull to start the engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip and rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
CAUTION:
If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter
grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water pres-
sure before attempting to start the engine again.
Let engine run for several seconds, then push choke in
to the RUN position.
