house siding
Cleaning cars, boats, motorcycles, outdoor furniture, and
grills
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 14 - 16.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on. This will damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life.
Before starting the engine, connect all hoses and check all
fluids (oil and gas). Turn the garden hose on then squeeze
the trigger. This relieves air pressure caused by turning on the
water. Hold the trigger until a steady stream of water appears.
To start an engine that is cold or has run dry:
Close the fuel valve.
Fill the fuel tank (if necessary).
Connect the garden hose to the pump and turn on the
water supply.
Open the fuel valve.
Place the engine switch in the ON ( l ) position.
Push the choke lever to position A (CLOSED) position.
NOTE: If the engine is cold, close the choke fully. If the
engine is warm, open the choke lever half-way or keep it
opened fully.
Give the recoil starter short, brisk pulls to start the
engine.
If the engine fires, or begins to sputter and/or cough
without catching, move the choke lever to the half-way
position.
NOTE: Never pull the recoil starter more than four or five
times with the choke closed as this causes flooding.
With the choke in the half-way position, pull the recoil
starter again. The engine should now start.
NOTE: If the choke remains in the closed position, the
engine will continue to sputter and/or cough but will not
start.
Return the recoil starter gently to the engine housing. Do
not allow the rope to snap back.
As the engine warms up, move the choke lever slowly to
position B (OPENED).
Let the engine warm up a few minutes before using.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move
it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
See Figure 23.
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of
performance, and shorten the life span of the engine. Check
the air filter monthly. For best performance, replace the air
filter at least once a year.
Push the tab on the air filter cover to open, then remove
the air filter cover.
Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.
Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and squeeze to dry.
Put small amount of motor oil (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30) on
the filter sponge. Squeeze out the excess oil then reinstall
the air filter.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
Reinstall the air filter cover.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in
serious personal injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should
be replaced at an authorized service center.
Before running the engine, perform the following preoperation steps:
Check that all bolts, nuts, etc., are securely tightened.
Make sure the air filter is clean.
Check both the engine oil level and the fuel tank level;
refill as needed.
Inspect the work area for hazards.
If there is excessive noise or vibration, stop the unit
immediately.

MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE OIL
See Figure 24.
Place a container under the pressure washer.
Remove the oil drain plug and drain the old oil.
NOTE: Drain the oil while the engine is still warm but not
hot. Warm oil will drain quickly and more completely.
Replace the oil drain plug.
Replace the oil with new, clean oil. This engine will hold
20 oz. or .6 liters of oil (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30).
NOTE: Consult hazardous waste management guidelines in
your area for the proper way to dispose of used oil.
CHECKING A FOULED SPARK PLUG
See Figure 25.
Clean carbon deposits off the spark plug electrode using
a plug cleaner or wire brush.
Check electrode gap. The gap should be .6 mm - .7 mm.
Adjust the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the side
electrode.
Replacement spark plug: NKG E6RC or equivalent

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 27.
Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the
weather can’t damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent
container before storing.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
Trigger and auxiliary handles:
Remove the auxiliary handle from the trigger handle and
store the auxiliary handle in the storage hole on the side of
the trigger handle.
Remove the spray wand from the trigger handle by turning
the connector counterclockwise. Store the unassembled
spray wand in the spray wand storage area.
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Engine Oil:
Drain the oil and replace with fresh, clean oil.
Spark Plug:
Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
oil through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces-
sary.
Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.
Air Filter:
Clean the air filter.
Hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean oil
from the combustion chamber.
Remove spark plug from the cylinder. Wipe oil from the
spark plug and return it to the cylinder.
Reconnect the spark plug wire.
