ASSEMBLY
ADDING LUBRICANT TO THE ENGINE
See Figure 15.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
59 ml of lubricant in the engine from testing.
You must add
lubricant to the engine before starting it the first time.
CAUTION:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding lubricant
will result in engine failure not covered under warranty.
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
Using 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 10W30), fill to the
upper level of the oil filter neck (0,5 liter, 4-cycle engine
lubricant provided).
Replace the oil cap / dipstick and securely tighten.
NOTE: This engine has a total lubricant capacity of
500 ml).
ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 16.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
When adding gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit
is sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
pressure washer cool before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the
fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned off.
NOTE: Use unleaded gas only. DO NOT mix lubricant with
gas.
Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap.
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly
pour gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately
4 cm below the top of the tank neck (this allows for fuel
expansion).
Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap “clicks.”
Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
