The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing damage to fragile surfaces such as: wood, glass,
automobile paint, auto stripping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the
item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is robust enough to resist damage from the force of the spray. Avoid the
use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strong surfaces like concrete and steel.
Operating unit with water supply shut off without flow of water will result in equipment damage. You should
never run this pressure washer for more than 2 minutes without pulMng the trigger to allow cool water to enter
the pump and the heated {recirculated} water to exit. Running the pressure washer with water supply shut off
will void your warranty.

stopping Your Pressure Washer
Engine Oil
A CAUTION; Do not run pump without the water
supply connected and turned on. Failure to do so
will result in pump damage.
' To turn pressure washer off place the on/stop switch
to the stop position.
• Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure
in the system. 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. The heated water will be purged from the
bottom of the pump.
Your unit has been shipped without oi! in the engine.
A bottle of SAE 30 weight oi! is included in the carton,
Remove oii plug located on the side of engine. Using a
funnel, fill engine crankcase up to the last thread in the
oil port. Pour slowly. Oil reading will be inaccurate on
unlevel ground.
NOTE: When adding oii to the engine crankcase, use
a high quality detergent oii classified “For Service SF,
SG, SH rated SAE 30 weight". Use no speciai addi
tives. Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to
your expected operating temperatures.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
To operate the engine you will need to do the following.
Adding Pump Oil
Before running the high pressure washer, check the
pump oi! level by viewing the sight glass on the side of
the pump. When properly filled, the oil will be at the
half way point marked by the two triangles. Your pres
sure washer pump is shipped with oil. Add oil only if oil
level is lower than the half way point on the sight glass.
Do not overfill. Use 30 weight non-detergent oii if
necessary.
STARTING TEMPgPATüRE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE N£>T OtL CHANGE
Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.
The use of multi-viscosity oi! such as (10W-30, etc.) in
ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in
higher than normal oil consumption. If multi-viscosity
oi! lo used, check the oil level more frequently to
prevent any posssibie engine damage due to lack or
lubrication.
Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard
starting and possible engine damage due to inad
equate lubrication.
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'^ARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hoi. Do
not smoke or have open flame when filling fuel
tank.
A CAUTION: Do Not use engine oil that has been
shipped with your unit in your pump. Engine oii
Is detergent and your pump uses a non-detergent
oil. Detergent oii can cause damage to your pump.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
If unleaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be
used.
