OPERATINg INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Check engine oil level. Oil level should be level with the bottom 
of the oil filler neck. Be sure the machine is level when checking the oil 
level. (Refer to the engine's operating manual included with machine.) We 
recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then once 
every 50 hours. 

Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor to shut 

off engine.  

IMPORTANT! Do not run engine with high or low oil levels 

as this will cause engine damage.

STEP 2: Remove shipping cap and 
install  oil  dipstick.  Check  pump  oil 
level  by  using  dipstick  or  observe 
oil level in oil window (if equipped).  
Use 30 wt. non detergent oil.

STEP  4:  Connect  garden  hose 
to  the  cold  water  source  and  turn 
water on completely. Never use hot 
water.

STEP 6: Rotate the fuel shut-off valve to the "On" posi-
tion (fully counterclockwise on Briggs engines). Slide the 
fuel valve lever to the "ON" position (Honda engines).  
When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel valve in 
the "OFF" position.

STEP  5: Trigger  the  spray  gun  to 
eliminate  trapped  air  then  wait  for 
a  steady  flow  of  water  to  emerge 
from  the  spray  wand. Then  install 
nozzle.

STEP 3: Fill gas tank with unleaded 
gasoline. Do not use leaded gaso-
line.

STEP 7:  Move the choke lever to the "Choke" position 
(on a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the run 
position). On Honda engines, move the choke lever to 
the "Closed" position. To restart a warm engine, leave 
the choke lever in the "Open" position.
