PRESSURE WASHER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
STEP 1: Check engine oil level. Oil level should be level with the bottom
of the oil filler neck. Be sure the machine is level when checking the oil
level. (Refer to the engine's operating manual included with machine.) We
recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then once
every 50 hours. Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor to shut
off engine. IMPORTANT! Do not run engine with high or low oil levels
as this will cause engine damage.
STEP 2: Remove shipping cap and
install oil dipstick. Check pump oil
level by using dipstick or observe oil
level in oil window (if equipped). Use
30 Wt. non detergent oil.
STEP 4: Connect garden hose
to the cold water source and turn
water on completely. Never use hot
water.
STEP 6: Rotate the fuel shut-off valve to the "On"
position. Slide the fuel valve lever to the "ON" position.
When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel valve in
the "OFF" position.
STEP 5: Trigger the spray gun to
eliminate trapped air then wait for a
steady flow of water to emerge from
the spray nozzle.
