STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible
engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2. Place pressure washer on a level surface.
3. Clean area around oil fill.
4 Remove oil fill cap and dipstick.
5 Wipe dipstick clean, insert it into oil fill hole and
tighten securely, remove dipstick. Add

4. Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as
the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that
alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
"Storage" on pages 16-17. NEVER use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
