FUEL AND OIL TYPES
ENGINE FUEL TYPE
Use only regular unleaded gasoline rated at 86 octane or higher. The best fuel to use will have a
0% ethanol blend. However, the engine can use a fuel with an ethanol blend of up to 10%.
ENGINE OIL TYPE
Use only SAE 10W30 motor oil for the engine. To check the oil, unscrew the engine dipstick. Then,
wipe off the oil with a clean rag and dip it back into the engine. The oil should be well within the oil
level markings.
Note* the engine will have two oil caps. Only one will have a dipstick.
PUMP OIL TYPE
For pressure washer pumps, use only SAE 30W non-detergent oil. Never use motor oil in your
pressure washer pump because it will destroy the seals.
Never overfill the pump.
•
If your pump has a sight glass, then fill halfway up to the middle of the red dot.
•
If your pump has a dipstick, then fill to the mark on the dipstick.
BURNER FUEL TYPE
• The fuel tank for the burner is the black plastic container located under the engine.
• ONLY
use No.1 or No.2 Diesel or kerosene in the black plastic fuel tank.
•
NEVER
put gasoline in the burner fuel tank. Gasoline is more volatile and burners hotter than
diesel. Using gasoline is extremely dangerous and will lead to component failures.
•
NEVER
put diesel into the Honda, Vanguard or Powerease engine.
•
DO NOT
let the fuel get completely used up before refilling. Running the fuel dry is hard on all
the components and may lead to more difficult startups.
