Note:

When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use

only high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SF or SG rated SAE 10W30 weight.

Do Not Use SAE 10W40 Oil.

• Place the pressure washer on a level surface.
• Clean the area around oil fill and remove the oil dip-

stick (Figure 3).

• Wipe the dipstick clean.
• Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it

into the filler neck.  Check the oil level shown on the

dipstick.

• If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler

hole with the recommended oil.  DO NOT OVER-

FILL.

• Reinstall the oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.

Note:  Check Oil Often During Engine Break–in.

Add Gasoline

DANGER! Never fill fuel tank indoors.

Never fill fuel tank when engine is run-

ning or hot. Do not smoke when filling

fuel tank.

WARNING!  Never fill fuel tank completely

full. Fill tank to about 1/2" below the

bottom of the filler neck to provide space

for fuel expansion. Wipe away any fuel

spillage from engine and equipment

before starting.

The manufacturer recommends fresh, clean unleaded

regular automotive gasoline.
• Use clean fuel and store in approved, clean cov-

ered containers.  Use clean fill funnels.  Never use

“stale” gasoline left over from last season or gaso-

line stored for long periods.

• Clean the area around the fuel fill cap, remove the

cap (Figure 4).

• Add “UNLEADED” regular gasoline, slowly, to fuel

tank. Use a funnel to prevent spillage.

• Install the fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

Connect Hose and Water 
Supply to Pump

IMPORTANT:

You must assemble the wand and

attach all hoses before you start the engine.  Starting

engine without all hoses connected and water sup-

plied will damage the pump.
• Uncoil the high pressure hose and attach one end

of the hose to the base of the spray gun. (Figure 5).

Tighten by hand.

• Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to

the high pressure fitting on the pump (Figure 6).

Tighten by hand.

attempt to start engine without
adding oil.
