If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level
rises to the upper portion of the hatched area on the
dipstick.
Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause excessive smoke and engine damage.
OXYGENATED FUELS
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL. IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems re-
sulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more
than the percentages of oxygenates stated below are not
covered under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E85 is not.
ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit
is sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
pressure washer cool before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the
fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned off.
NOTE: Use unleaded gas only. DO NOT mix lubricant with
gas.
Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap.
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly
pour gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately
1-1/2 in. below the top of the tank neck (this allows for
fuel expansion).
Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap “clicks”.
Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
PUMP LUBRICANT
The pressure washer pump has been filled with sufficient
lubricant at the factory. You do not need to check or add
lubricant to the pump.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 12 - 14.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water supply connected and turned on, as this may damage the
high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
Connect all hoses.
Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
Turn on the garden hose then pull the trigger to
relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
To start the engine:
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
Move the choke lever to the ON (COLD START) position.
Page 10 — English
OPERATION
NOTE: If the engine is warm, leave the choke lever in the
ON (COLD START) position. Allow the engine to run for 5
seconds, and then push the choke to the RUN position.
Put the engine switch in the ON position.
Pull the recoil starter grip until the engine runs (a maximum
of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
CAUTION:
If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter
grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water pressure before attempting to start the engine again.
Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke lever to the RUN position.
To stop the engine:
Put the engine switch in the OFF position.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See Figure 15.
For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the
trigger handle at all times.
Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
Push the lock out down and into its original position.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
