The pressure washer is shipped without oil.
User must add the proper amount of oil before
operating the pressure washer for the first time.
The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 15.3
fl. oz. (450 ml). For general use (above 40° F),
we recommend 30W, 4-stroke engine oil.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications SJ, SL, or
SM. (Synthetic oils may be used.) Use the ASE viscosity grade of oil from the following chart that matches the start-
ing temperature anticipated before the next oil changes.

To add oil, follow these steps
: (Fig. 7B)
1. Make sure the pressure washer is on a level surface. Tilting the pressure
washer to assist in filling will cause oil to flow into engine areas and will cause
damage. Keep pressure washer level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine. (Fig. 7B)
3. Add oil (not included) slowly to bring level to full.
4. To check the oil level: wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the
dipstick into the oil fill opening without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to
check the oil mark.
5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil mark reaches to the top
of the dipstick. Do not over fill the crankcase.
6. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly.
