Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
• Place pressure washer on a level surface.
• Refer to the engine owners manual to add recommended
oil to engine.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break–in. Refer to
engine owner’s manual for recommendations.
NOTE: The pump is pre-lubricated and sealed, requiring
no additional lubrication for the life of the pump.
Add Gasoline
DANGER!
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill
fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do Not
smoke when filling fuel tank.
WARNING!
Never fill fuel tank completely full.
Provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe away any
fuel spillage from engine and equipment before
starting.
• Use clean regular unleaded fuel and store in approved
clean covered containers. Use clean fill funnels. Never
use “stale” gasoline left over from last season or gasoline
stored for long periods.
• Clean the area around the fuel fill cap, and remove the
cap. Slowly fill tank to about 1/2” below the bottom of
the filler neck (Figure 6).
• Install the fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
Connect Hose and Water Supply to
Pump
IMPORTANT: You must assemble the nozzle extension
to the spray gun and attach all hoses before you start the
engine. Starting engine without all hoses connected and
water supplied will damage the pump.
• Uncoil high pressure hose and attach quick connect end
of hose to the base of the spray gun (Figure 7). Pull
down on the collar of the quick connect, slide onto the
spray gun and let go of collar. Tug on hose to be sure of
a tight connection.
• Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to the
high pressure outlet on the pump (Figure 8). Pull down
on the collar of the quick connect, slide onto the pump
and let go of collar. Pull on hose to be sure of a tight
connection.
• Before you connect your garden hose to the water inlet,
inspect the inlet screen (Figure 9). Clean the screen if it
contains debris; replace it if it is damaged. DO NOT
RUN THE PRESSURE WASHER IF THE SCREEN IS
DAMAGED OR MISSING.
