demonstrates how to operate your pressure washer.
If you have a video cassette recorder you should to
view the video before operation.
A WARNING: Never adjust spray pattern when
spraying. Never put hands in front of spray nozzle to
adjust spray pattern you could be injured.
Stopping Your Pressure Washer
A CAUTION: Do not run pump without the water
supply connected and turned on. Failure to do so
will result in pump damage.
Move throttle control to the stop position to turn
pressure washer off.
Before Starting The Engine
To operate the engine you will need to do the following.
Note: Your pressure washer pump is a sealed pump,
you should never have to add or change the oil.
A CAUTION: Always check engine oil level before
every start. Running engine low of oil or out of oil
could result in serious damage.
Engine Oil
Your unit has been shipped without oil in the engine. A
bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the carton.
Remove oil dip stick located on top of the engine. Oil
capacity is about 20 ounces of oil. The oil dip stick is
clearly marked with a line that tells you when unit has
enough oil. To check oil, place dipstick into oil fill.
Tighten dipstick then remove. Do not fill above this
point. Pour slowly.
THROTTLE
CONTROL
Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure
in the system. After engine has stopped, squeeze
the trigger on the spray gun for about 3 seconds to
relieve pressure. Spray stream will decrease in
length.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a thermal relief
valve. If unit is allowed to run for several minutes
without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, several
drops of water may be released through this valve to
cool the unit. This small amount of water will drip from
the bottom of the pump.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use a
high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG,
SH”, rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special additives.
Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperatures.
colder <
--------------------
40°F
-----------------
> warmer
Synthetic 5W-30 I SAE 30
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 40°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible damage from running low on oil. Oil
sump capacity is 20 ounces.
Gasoline
Your pressure washer engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded
fuel only.
A CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always
allow room for fuel expansion.
A WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. To avoid
explosion and injury, never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke or have
open flame when filling fuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
'f unleaded fuel is unavailable leaded fuel may be used.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol or using 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. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or perma
nent damage may occur.
A CAUTION: Never start pressure washer without
water source turned on and connected to
pressure washer. Failure to do so will cause
pump damage.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
Squeeze trigger on pressure washer wand to relieve
air pressure caused by turning on the water. Water
will spew out of the gun in a thin stream. This will
make it easier to start the engine.
Engage the safety latch on the spray gun. This locks
the trigger in place and keeps you from accidentally
spraying a high pressure stream.
SAFETY
LATCH
On the engine there is a choke/run lever. Place lever
to the choke position.
On the engine there is a throttle control lever. Place
throttle to the rabbit position. Always start engine

’ Connect the garden hose to the water spout and turn
water supply on.
CHOKE
• Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance
is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
NOTE: If engine does not start right away, squeeze the
trigger on the gun to relieve air pressure caused by
turning on the water. Water will spew out of the gun in a
thin stream. This will make it easier to pull start the
engine. If more than five pulls, place choke lever back
to run position.
• When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to
RUN position.
• For hot engine restarts, make sure throttle is in the
rabbit (high speed) position and the choke lever is in
the RUN position.

Snggs & Stratton welcomes warranty repair and apologizes
0 you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service
Oealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs
are handled routinely, but sometimes requests lor warranty
service may not be appropriate. For example, warranty would
not apply il engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack
of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or
improper installation, Similarly, warranty is void if the serial
numb^ of the engine has been removed or the engine has
been altered or modified
If a customer differs with the decision of the Service-Dealer, an
investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty
applies. Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to
his Distributor or the Factory for review. If the Distributor or the
Factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be
fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid
misunderstanding which might occur between the customer
and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine
failure that the warranty does not cover.
Improper maintenance;
The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under
which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications,
such as tillers, pumps and rotary mowers, are very often used
in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to
be premature wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust,
spark plug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has
entered the engine because of improper maintenance, is not
covered by warranty.
This warranty covers engine related defective material
and/or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund
of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted.
Nor does the warranty extend to repairs required
because of:
4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was
operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil.
or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil (check oil level daily
or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary
and change at recommended intervals.) Read "Owner’s
Manual.'
5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies
such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc.,
which are not manufactured by Briggs & Stratton.
6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered
the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance,
re-assembly, or use of a non-original air cleaner element
or cartridge. (At recommended intervals, clean and re-oil
the Oil-Foam® element or the foam pre-cleaner, and
replace the cartridge.) Read "Owner’s Manual.”
7. Parts damaged by overspeeding, or overheating caused
by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling
fins, or flywheel area, or damage caused by operating the
engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation.
(Clean fins on the cylinder, cylinder head and flywheel at
recommended intervals.) Read “Owner's Manual.”
8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration
caused by a loose engine mounting, loose cutter blades,
unbalanced blades or loose or unbalanced impellers,
improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft,
overspeeding or other abuse in operation,
9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid
object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or
excessive v-belt tightness.
10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion
chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned
starter motor windings, caused by the use of alternate
fuels such as, liquified petroleum, natural gas. altered
gasolines, etc.
1. PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PARTS THAT ARE NOT
ORIGINAL BRIGGS & STRATTON PARTS.
2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting,
cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten
engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)
3. Leaking carburetors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves,
or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale
fuel, (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline and Briggs &
Stratton gasoline stabilizer. Part No. 5041.)
