3. Slowly add recommended oil, see specifications for oil capacity. NOTE: If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.

See To Check Oil under Maintenance for instructions.

N003333

To Add Fuel

WARNING: Risk of explosion

or fire. Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. Refuel outdoors only in well-ventilated areas. Do not refuel or check gasoline level while the engine is running. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame, a source of sparks (such as welding) or near operating electrical equipment.

1. Remove fuel cap (A).

2. Add fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 86 octane to the fuel tank (B). Do not fill above the shoulders on the debris screen (N) as shown.

NOTE: The debris screen protects

the engine from dirt and debris, only remove screen when cleaning. See Cleaning Debris Screen under Maintenance for instructions.

NOTE: Do not mix oil with gasoline.

3. Replace the fuel cap on the tank. Turn the cap clockwise until it stops.

Oxygenated Fuels

Some conventional gasolines are blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.

If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the 86 minimum octane rating requirements. Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents.

8- ENG

Some states/provinces required this information to be posted on the pump. The following are the EPA approved percentages of oxygenates:

Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name gasohol.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. DO NOT use E85 fuel.

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.

Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol)

5% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume as long as it also contains solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/ or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber and plastic parts of the engine or your fuel system.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline.

NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty.

Location

DANGER: Risk of breathing

(ASPHYXIATION)

. Exhaust from the gasoline engine contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic. Operate engine only outside in clean, dry, well-ventilated areas.

Noise Considerations

Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise levels in your area.

Preparation For Use

1. Place unit on level surface.

2. Check engine oil. See

Oil

under

Maintenance

To Check

CAUTION: Do not operate engine without oil or with inadequate oil. Black & Decker is not responsible for engine failure caused by inadequate oil.

3. Check fuel level.

4. See product manual for specific starting procedures.

NOTE: If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the engine and refer to the troubleshooting section as well as the shop manual.

High Altitude Operating

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above 1,524 meters (5,000 feet), have your authorized service center perform a carburetor modification.

Even with a carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 feet) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the pressure washer.

NOTE: When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. If the engine is used at low altitudes after a carburetor modification, the carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your authorized service center return the carburetor to original factory specifications.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: When cleaning, use only

mild soap and a damp cloth on plastic parts. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage plastic. Also, do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint

9 - ENG

N003333

thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products which may seriously damage plastic parts. Never let any liquid get inside the engine; never immerse engine into a liquid.

The following procedures must be followed when maintenance or service is performed on the engine.

Any service operations not included in this section should be performed by a Black & Decker factory service center. Contact Blacker & Decker Service Represtentative at 1-800-544-6986.

This engine is only for use in Black & Decker approved applications. If used in unapproved applications, Black & Decker is not responsible for repairs or damage and the warranty if void. Call 1-800-544-6986 for more information.

Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification.

The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:

(1) Any warranted, emissions-related

parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Black & Decker

according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(2) Any warranted, emissions-related

part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted, emissions-

related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Black & Decker according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.

warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a Black & Decker Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

(5) When the engine is inspected

by a Black & Decker

Authorized

Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Black & Decker

shall be liable

for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty

Period, Black & Decker shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.

(8) Any replacement part may be used

in the performance of any Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the ultimate purchaser. Such use shall not reduce Black & Decker's ECS warranty obligations.

(9) Add-on or modified parts that are

not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. Such use will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with this article. Black & Decker will not be liable under this article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of such an addon or modified part.
