WARNING

Fueland its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.

Fireor explosion can causesevere burns or
death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer OFFand let it cool at least 2 minutes

before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure
in tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DONOToverfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

• Keepfuel away from sparks, openflames, pilot lights, heat,and

other ignition sources.

• DONOTlight a cigarette or smoke.

4. install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (called gasohol, ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.

To avoidengineproblems, the fuel system should betreated
with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill thefuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.

NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.

Use clean,fresh, regular UNLEADEDfuel with a
minimum of 86 octanewith equipment. DO NOTmix oil

with fuel.
Placepressure washer on a levelsurface. Cleanarea

around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Slowly add regular unleadedfuel to fuel tank. Becareful

not to overfill. Allow about 1" of tank space for fuel
expansion,as shown here.
