WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
When Starting Equipment
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
When Operating Equipment
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.
• DO NOT spray flammable liquids.
When Transporting or Repairing Equipment

WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in
bodily injury. Kickback will pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could
result.
Kickback can also occur from spray gun due to built up
pressure.
• NEVER pull starter cord without first relieving spray gun pressure.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point
spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
high pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
WARNING
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.

How to Start Your Pressure Washer
PW2700 / PW3100B
To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions
step-by-step. This starting information also applies if you have let the
pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.
1. Place pressure washer near an outside water source capable of
supplying water at a flow rate greater than 3.8 gallons per minute and
no less than 20 PSI at pressure washer end of garden hose. DO NOT
siphon supply water.
2. Make sure unit is in a level position.
3. Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer
pump and ensure the filter screen is in place. Turn ON the water.
4. Squeeze the trigger on the gun until you have a steady stream of
water. This purges the pump of air and impurities. Attach wand
extension to spray gun. Tighten by hand.
5. Choose desired spray tip, pull back nozzle extension collar, insert spray
tip and release collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in
place. It is important to make sure the tip is securely in place prior to
using the unit. If the tip is not secure, it may become dislodged
possibly causing injury or damage to objects nearby.” See Spray Tips.
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump without the water supply connected and
turned on.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction
will void warranty.

the CLOSED position to start
the engine, slowly push it to the OPEN position as soon as the engine
warms up enough to run smoothly.
