. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. : : i
starting: temperature: RA№E AMTiGiPATED 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.

Slowly add fuel to fuel tank. Use a funnel to
prevent spillage. Fill tank to about 1.5" below top
of the filler neck.
* 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.

only. For long term storage see "Storage” on page 16.
After each use:
1. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high
pressure outlet on pump.
2. Drain water from hose.
3. Slide one end of hose into hole on hose reel. Turn
hose reel with handle to coil hose onto reel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your pressure washer
with the hose coiled onto the hose reel. The hose reel
is for storage purposes only.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125®F. The system engages to
cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The pressure washer’s warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
the operator must maintain pressure washer as
instructed in this manual including proper storage as
detailed in "Storage” on pages 16-17.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All service and adjustments should be made at least
once each season. Follow the requirements in the
“Maintenance Schedule" chart above.
NOTE; Once a year you should clean or replace the
spark plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug
and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and
help your engine run better and last longer.
If equipped with inflatable tires, keep the air pressure
at the value marked on the tire or within 16 and 40 psi.
