OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1
Check 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
for seasonal grades.) We
recommend that the oil be
changed after the first 5 hours
of use, then once every 50
hours.
Step 2
Fill gas tank
with unleaded gasoline.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Step 3
Connect
garden hose to the cold
water source and turn water
on completely. Never use
hot water.
Step 4
Trigger the gun
to eliminate trapped air, wait
for a steady flow of water to
emerge from the spray nozzle.
Step 5
(Briggs & Stratton)
Turn fuel valve to “ON”. Slide
the throttle control to the
fast position. Move the
choke lever to the “CHOKE”
position (only if the engine
is cool). After starting, move
the choke to “RUN”.
Step 6
Pull the starter
handle. If the engine fails to
start after 3 pulls, squeeze
the trigger gun to release
pressure, and repeat step.
After the engine warms up
enough to run smoothly,
move choke to open position
and throttle to fast position.
Important!
Do not run the engine with a high or low oil level as this can
cause engine damage.
If you have further questions regarding the engine, please refer to
the engine’s operating manual included with the unit.
Step 5

the choke lever out to the
closed position (on a warm
engine, leave the choke lever

throttle lever up about 1/3 of
the way toward the fast
position.
Step 5
(Kohler)
Turn fuel
valve to “ON”. Slide the
throttle control to the fast
position. Move the choke
lever to the “CHOKE”
position (only if the engine
is cool). After starting, move
the choke to “RUN”.
