Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in.
(0.64 cm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (0.64 cm) is
recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank as
a result of expansion if it is overfilled, and can affect
the stable running condition of the product. When
filling the tank, it is recommended to leave enough
space for the fuel to expand.
Add Fuel Cont’d.
NOTE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carbur eto r.
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (0.64 cm) below
the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the pressure washer
at the gas station. Use an approved container to
transfer the fuel to the pressure washer.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
WARNING
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.
REV 71322-20130520 12
OPERATION
ENGLISH71322
Pressure Washer Location
This pressure washer must have at least five feet of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
three feet of clearance on all sides of the pressure
washer to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and
servicing. Place the pressure washer in a well ventilated
area. DO NOT place the pressure washer near vents
or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into
occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and
air currents when positioning pressure washer.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Turn the water supply ON.
2. Pull the trigger on the pressure gun to purge all
air from the pump and hose. This may take several

surface.
2. Connect and turn “ON” the water supply.
Starting the Engine Cont’d.
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain
that the pressure washer is on a flat, level surface.
The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will
prevent the engine from running when the oil level
falls below a critical threshold.
To activate the Trigger Start feature:
1. Connect and turn “ON” the water supply.
2. Make sure the fuel valve is in the “ON” position.
3. Move the Ignition Switch to the “ON” position.
4. Move the Trigger Start Switch to the “Enable”
position.
Only when the Trigger Start feature is active can the
engine can be started or stopped using the trigger of the
gun.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
4. Press the Ignition Switch to “ON”.
5. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
6. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch
to the “START” position. Release as the engine
begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within
five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten
seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
7. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
8. Do not over-choke. As as soon as engine starts, move
the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
NOTE
If the engine does not start after 2 pulls, relieve pump
pressure by pulling the trigger on the pressure washer gun.
To start the engine using the Trigger Start feature:
1. Pull and hold the trigger of the gun.
2. The engine will attempt to start approximately 3
seconds after water begins to flow out of the gun.

position, the gun trigger will not start or stop the engine.
The water supply must be connected and turned “ON” for
the Trigger Start feature to function.
Note : Extension hoses may be added without affecting
this feature.
NOTE
There is no need to manually choke the engine.
The Engine Control Module automatically chokes
the engine during startup. If the engine fails to start
on the first attempt, it will automatically try again
up to six (6) times, without need of extra pulling of
the trigger.

OPERATION
Distance from Cleaning Surface
The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning
surface affects the impact force of the water. The
impact force of the water increases as the
nozzle is moved closer to the surface. You can vary the
impact force by controlling
1. The nozzle’s fan pattern.
2. The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface.
3. The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface.
Never use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that
is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with
a narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle. Doing so
may break the glass.
1. Before triggering the gun, select a nozzle with a wide
fan pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet away from
the cleaning surface. Then hold the nozzle at a 45º
degree angle to the cleaning surface. Trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance
to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.
High Pressure Wash
CAUTION
Always engage the trigger safety latch when the unit
is not in use.
Turbo Nozzle
WARNING
The turbo nozzle attachment is very powerful and is
not safe for use on all surfaces. Some surfaces may
be more delicate than others and caution should
be exercised when using this attachment. DO NOT
point the turbo nozzle in the direction of any human
being or animal, as this may cause severe injury or
harm.
A Zero degree nozzle (not included) delivers maximum
cleaning force to a surface but in the smallest area. It
can cut wood and chip concrete if left on one spot.
The Turbo Nozzle is a Zero degree nozzle that rotates
rapidly so the cleaning force never dwells on one spot.
The rotating action causes the nozzle to cover much
more area than a standard Zero degree nozzle. This
results in up to twice the cleaning speed of typical 15-
40 degree fan nozzles.
To operate the nozzle, simply use the quick connect
feature and attach it to the end of the wand/lance. When
the trigger is pulled and water starts to flow, the nozzle
will spray a rapidly rotating Zero degree stream of water.
Begin spraying about 24” away from the surface being
cleaned. Gradually move the nozzle closer to increase
the cleaning /impact force.
The trigger safety latch prevents the gun from being
triggered accidentally. Push the latch fully down to
engage it.
Your unit is equipped with a quick connect nozzle port.
Choose the appropriate nozzle tip for the job you are
performing.
CAUTION
The narrow high impact spray can damage some
surfaces.
A wide fan pattern distributes the impact of the water
over a larger area resulting in excellent cleaning action
with reduced risk of surface damage. Clean large surface
areas quickly using a wide fan pattern.
NOTE
The turbo nozzle attachment is not for use on
delicate surfaces, as it uses a powerful Zero degree
nozzle and may damage or destroy certain surfaces
and objects.
NOTE
Cold water pressure washer applications only.

with an automatic thermal relief valve. The thermal
relief valve will automatically open after approximately 2
minutes passing, without the pulling of the gun trigger,
while the engine is running. Running the engine and not
pulling the trigger causes the water temperature inside
the pump to heat up. When the temperature exceeds
140º F (60º C), or after approximately 2 minutes of nongun use, the thermal relief valve automatically activates.
When the valve is activated, it opens to allow fresh/cool
water flow into the pump and hot water to escape. As a
result of the valve opening, hot water inside the pump
will spray out through the Thermal Relief Valve. When
the pump cools, the valve automatically closes.
CAUTION
Water leaving the valve and/or gun after the valve has
become activated may be hot. Make sure the pressure
washer is in a location that is not sensitive to hot water,
and has a clearance space around it of a minimum
distance of 3 feet. DO NOT point the gun at any animal,
human, or surface to avoid any damage and/or injury
caused by hot and/or pressurized water
NOTE
It is recommended that the inlet water temperature not
exceed 104º F (40º C).
Low Pressure Wash
System Flush
After using detergents, flush the suction system by placing
the detergent suction tube into a bucket of clean water.
WARNING
NEVER turn the water supply off before turning the
engine/motor off.
Depressurize System
To depressurize, turn engine/motor off, turn water supply
off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times.
WARNING
NEVER disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from
the machine while the system is pressurized.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury or property damage,
always follow this procedure whenever spraying is
stopped, when work is completed, and before checking or
repairing any part of the system.
1. Engage the trigger safety latch.
2. Turn the unit off.
3. Remove the ignition cable from the spark plug.
4. Shut off the water supply.
5. Disengage the trigger safety latch and trigger the gun
to relieve pressure.
6. Re-engage the trigger safety latch.
7. Before overnight storage, long term storage, or
transporting unit, disconnect the water supply and
turn off the fuel supply valve.
Detergent Use
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning
time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Many
detergents are customized for pressure washer use on
specific cleaning tasks. Pressure washer detergents are
as thick as water. Using thicker detergents – like dish
soap – will clog the chemical injection system.
NOTE
Use only detergents specially formulated for pressure washers.
You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the
chemical action of detergents with high pressure rinses. On
vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the
bottom and work your way upward. This method prevents
the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks. Begin
high pressure rinsing at the bottom and work
your way upward. On particularly tough stains, use a brush
in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.

Operating Tips
CAUTION
Never operate your pressure washer without water.
CAUTION
Never connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply.
Connecting your pressure washer to a hot water
source will significantly reduce the life of the pump
and will void your warranty.
CAUTION
Running the unit for more than two minutes without
spraying water causes heat to build up in the pump.
In the event that the pump gets too hot, a thermal relief
valve will open to release the hot water.
Running the unit without spraying water can damage
pump components and will void your warranty.

OPERATION
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
3. Press the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
4. Depressurize system.
5. Turn off and unplug all hoses. Never start or stop the
pressure washer unless the water supply is turned on.
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
Engine Switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine
is not in use.
NOTE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine
and fuel storage.
To stop the engine using the Trigger Start feature:
1. Release the trigger of the gun
2. The engine will turn “OFF” approximately 15 seconds
after the trigger is released.
3. Press the Trigger Start switch to the “Off” position.
4. Press the engine switch to the “Off” position.
5. Rotate the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
6. Depressurize system.
7. Turn off and unplug all hoses. Never start or stop the
pressure washer unless the water supply is turned on.
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-
fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output
will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000
feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend
and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high
altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result
due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet
it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For
this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the
carburetor. Select the correct main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.
NOTE
If the trigger is released and then pulled before 15
seconds has elapsed, the engine will continue to run. This
allows the unit to continue running while the operator
stops washing momentarily to move the unit or the object
being washed.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
You must take your CPE engine or the product on which it is installed, along with your warranty registration card or
other proof of original purchase date, at your expense, to any Champion Power Equipment dealer who is
authorized by Champion Power Equipment, Inc. to sell and service that CPE product during his normal business
hours. Alternate service locations defined in Section (3)(f.) above must be approved by CPE prior to service. Claims
for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because
the engine was not properly maintained and used.

service, please write or call Customer Service at Champion Power Equipment, Inc.
