PRESSURE WASHER 

    

OPERATOR’S MANUAL

  

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 5:  Rotate  the  fuel  shut-off  valve  to  the  "On" 
position. Slide the fuel valve lever to the "ON" position.  
When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel valve in 
the "OFF" position.

STEP 4: Trigger the spray gun to eliminate trapped air 
then wait for a steady flow of water to emerge from 
the spray nozzle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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

STEP 6:  Move the choke lever to the "Choke" posi-
tion (on a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the 
run position).  Move the choke lever to the "Closed" 
position.  To restart a warm engine, leave the choke 
lever in the "Open" position.
