Running the engine

WARNING – This product will produce poisonous fumes as soon as it
is used. Always use in a well ventilated area. Do not use indoors and
avoid using in trenches or other sheltered areas. ALWAYS refuel in a well
ventilated area. Store fuel away from the machine and away from heat
or direct sunlight. If fuel is spilt, clean up immediately, do not attempt
to start the engine until all fuel spillage is removed. Do not smoke near
to the machine, or fuel. Ensure that fuel filler cap is tightened securely.
During use, parts of the engine (such as exhaust and engine casing) will
become extremely hot. Allow all parts of the machine to cool fully before
handling.

Oil

•  Always check the oil level before running the engine.
•  To check the oil level, unscrew the Dipstick (10), and wipe off oil.
•  Reinsert Dipstick without screwing in, then remove.
•  Observe the oil level on the stick. The oil level should be between the H

and L markings.

• If required, add oil of the correct weight. Do not overfill.
• Do not attempt to run the engine with insufficient oil. The engine is fitted

with a low oil safety system that will stop the engine if the oil level falls
too low.

• Engine oil should be replaced regularly. Drain oil by removing the drain

plug, refill through Oil Filler (10).

Air Filter

• This engine is fitted with a 2 stage air filter. To reduce wear, and prolong

the life of your engine, always keep the filter clean. Never run the engine
without a filter.

• To check the air filter, remove the wing nut from the top of the filter

cover. The filter cover can then be removed. To remove the filter element,
remove the inner wing nut, the element can then be lifted out.

• The paper element can be cleaned by knocking any dust or dirt off.
• The foam filter element can be cleaned by washing with water and

detergent. Dry, and re-oil with normal machine oil. Do not apply excess
oil to the element, this will cause the engine to smoke when started.

• Re-assemble filter element and filter cover.

Whenever the machine is out of use for an extended period of time,

proceed as follows:

•  Empty the fuel tank completely
•  Protect all metal engine parts from corrosion by coating them with oil
•  Remove the spark plug, put a few drops of oil into the cylinder and then

pull the recoil starter 2 to 3 times in order to distribute the oil evenly.
Replace the spark plug.

Never leave the tool running unattended

•  Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop.
•  Never leave the machine unattended when parts are still hot
•  Never leave machine unattended within the reach of children.

Pressure washer safety

• Never direct the water jet at people or animals. The water jet is

extremely powerful, and can cause serious injury. Avoid directing the
water jet towards the engine or pump body.

• Always connect a continuous flow water supply to the pressure washer.

Running the pressure washer dry will cause permanent damage to the
pump.

• Ensure the water supply to the pressure washer is at a constant

pressure. If the water supply is “shared” by another appliance (e.g.
washing machine), ensure the other appliance is switched off.

•  Handle the lance with care, do not allow the nozzle to strike the ground.
•  The pressure washer should always be used in an upright position.
•  NEVER connect the pressure washer to a hot water supply, this will

cause the pump to malfunction and result in permanent damage.

• Do not run the engine for more than 1-2 minutes without operating

the spray lance. Water circulating within the pump will rapidly become
overheated and cause damage.

• After use, the machine should be drained of all water to prevent

corrosion.

• When not in use, the machine should be stored in a dry location that

will not fall below 0˚C.

• Always wear protective goggles, ear defenders and waterproof clothing

when operating the pressure washer.
