Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly filled with the recommended type and amount
of oil. Damage to the pressure washer as a result of failure
to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
NOTICE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
1. Place the pressure washer on a flat level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 1.2 qt. (1.1 L) (not included) of oil and replace oil
fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.

NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic
blended oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant
can be used but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting
will increase/decrease engine speed helping to seat piston
rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid
prolonged running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour break-
in period, change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTICE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTICE
The engine rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing
that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the
bearing.
NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.
