every 50 hours. Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor to shut
off engine. IMPORTANT! Do not run engine with high or low oil levels

as this will cause engine damage.

WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or in­gested, causing severe nausea,
fainting or poisoning. The harm­ful elements may cause prop­erty damage or severe injury.

PRESSURE WASHER

into a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure
washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.

THERMAL PUMP PROTECTION

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for 3-5
minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach high tempera­tures. When the water reaches this temperature, the
pump protector engages and cools the pump by dis­charging the warm water onto the ground. This thermal
device prev ents internal damage to the pump .

CLEANING TIPS

STEP 1: Use detergent designed

specifically for pressure washers.
Household detergents could dam­age the pump. Prepare detergent
solution as required by the manu­facturer . Fill a container with pres­sure washer detergent. Place the
filter end of detergent suction tube
into the detergent container.

STEP 2: Apply safety latch to spray gun trigger. Se­cure black detergent nozzle into quic k coupler. NOTE:
Detergent cannot be applied using Red, Yellow, Green
or White nozzles.

STEP 3: With the engine run­ning, pull trigger to operate
machine. Liquid detergent is
drawn into the machine and
mixed with water . Apply deter­gent to work area. Do not al­low detergent to dry on sur­face.

IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent injec­tion system after each use by placing the suction
tube

97-718, 96-716, 97-720, 97-719 • REV. 2/04

Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water . Place detergent
suction tube directly into cleaning solution and apply to sur­face at low pressure (for best results , limit your work area to
sections approximately 6 feet square and alw a ys apply de­tergent from bottom to top). Allow detergent to remain on
surface 1-3 minutes. Do not allow detergent to dry on sur­face. If surface appears to be drying, simply wet down sur­face with fresh water . If needed, use brush to remove stub­born dir t. Rinse at high pressure from top to bottom in an
even sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle approxi­mately 1 foot from cleaning surface . Use overlapping strok es
as you clean and rinse any surface. For best surf ace clean­ing action spray at a slight angle.

Recommendations:

• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous area
should be cleaned to test spray pattern and dis­tance for maximum cleaning results.

• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use ex­treme caution as pressure washer may remo ve the
loose paint from the surface.

• Keep the spray nozzle a saf e distance from the sur­face you plan to clean. High pressure wash a small
area, then check the surface f or damage. If no dam­age is found, continue to pressure washing.

CAUTION - Never use:

• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals

• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners,
gasoline, oils)

• T ri-sodium phosphate products

• Ammonia products

• Acid-based products

These chemicals will harm the machine and will dam­age the surface being cleaned.

RINSING

• It will take a few seconds f or the detergent to clear .
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Remov e black soap
nozzle from the quick coupler . Select and install the
desired high pressure nozzle. NOTE: You can also
stop detergent from flowing by simply removing de­tergent siphon tube from bottle.

STEP 5: Disconnect the garden

CAUTION: Al wa ys store y our pressure washer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below
32°F (0°C). The pump in this machine is susceptible
to permanent damage if frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE
IS NOT CO VERED BY W ARRANTY.

1. Stop the pressure washer, squeez e spray gun trig­ger to release pressure.

2. Detach water supply hose and high pressure hose.

3. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until re­maining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.

4. Drain the gas and oil from the engine.

5. Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.

6. Store the machine and accessories in a room which
does not reach freezing temperatures.

CAUTION: Failure to follo w the above directions will
result in damage to your pressure washer.

When the pressure washer is not being operated or is being
stored for more than one month, follow these instructions:

1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.

2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel valve
and carburetor .

3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the
spark plug hole, pull the starter grip several times

and replace the plug. Then pull the starter grip slowly

STEP 6: Disconnect the high
pressure hose from high pres­sure outlet.

STORAGE

until you feel increased pressure which indicates
the piston is on its compression stroke and leave it
in that position. This closes both the intak e and ex­haust valves to pre v ent rusting of cylinder.

4. Cover the pressure washer and store in a clean, dry
place that is well ventilated awa y from open flame or
sparks. NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such as
STA-BIL®, or an equivalent, will minimize the formu­lation of fuel deposits during shortage. Such addi­tives may be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank of
the engine, or to the gasolinee in a storage container .

After Extended Storage

Engine Maintenance

During the winter months, rare atmosheric conditions may
develop which will cause an icing condition in the carb u­retor. If this develops, the engine may run rough, lose
power and may stall. This temporary condition can be
overcome b y deflecting some of the hot air from the en­gine over the carburetor area. NOTE: Refer to the en­gine manufacturer's manual f or service and maintenance
