Engine oil
NOTICE
New pressure washer has no engine oil in crankcase
when they are delivered out of factory.
Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly filled with the recommended type and
amount of engine oil, otherwise damage to the pressure
washer may result.
Always check the engine oil level before starting the
engine, on a level surface.
NOTICE
The recommended engine oil type is SAE 10W-30, oil
crankcase capacity is 0.6L.
Add engine oil
1. Place the pressure washer on a flat level surface.
2. Clean the oil gauge dipstick/cap and the area
around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the
crankcase.
3. Turn the oil gauge dipstick/cap counterclockwise,
remove it and clean it with a clean cloth.
4. Add engine oil into the crankcase through the oil
gauge dipstick/cap installation port (a fuel funnel
may be needed here). Do not overfill.
5. Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to
check the oil level.
MAX
MIN
6. If the oil level is just at MIN marker or below, refill
SAE 10W-30 oil through the dipstick hole until the
oil level is between MIN and MAX marker.
7. Reposition the oil gauge dipstick and tighten it by
turning clockwise.
Fuel and fueling
NOTICE

when they are delivered out of factory.
Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before it has

Fuel
WARNING
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing
any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool down before refueling the
machine. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and
move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fuming point
before starting the engine.
The recommended fuel type is regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an
ethanol content of less than 10% by volume, fuel tank
capacity is 3.8L.
This is a 4-cycle engine and does not require a gas/oil
mixture. There is a separate reservoir for gas and a
separate reservoir for oil.
NOTICE
Do not use mixed oil with gasoline for this machine
•
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental
engine parameters and components (for example,
carburetion, ignition timing and port timing) without
addition of any major hardware or the introduction of
an inert material during combustion.
•
If you use a gasoline of a Iower octane value than
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine
temperature may rise and an engine problem such as
piston seizing may consequently occur.
•
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health
and the environment.
•
Poor quality gasoline or oil may damage sealing rings,
fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
