Operation 

 

Avoid inhalation of exhaust.

  Running this pressure 

washer indoors can kill you in minutes. Exhaust contains 

carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or 

smell. 

Never pull by hose.

  Do not move this pressure washer 

by pulling on the hose.  Hose or connections could fail 

and result in catastrophic high-pressure release of fluid 

as well as hose whipping. 

Avoid sharp objects.

  Keep hose away from sharp 

objects.  Bursting hoses may cause injury. 

No load bearing

. Do not use the pump to support other 

items of equipment that impose unacceptable loads on 

the pump. Do not attempt to use this pressure washer 

as a prop. 

Lock trigger safety latch when not spraying

.  Spray 

gun is equipped with a built-in trigger safety latch to 

guard against accidental trigger release.  Rotate safety 

latch to the locked position when not spraying. 

Leaving unattended

.  Always turn off the pressure 

washer and relieve system pressure before leaving the 

pressure washer unattended. 

Prompt Emergency Response 

Seek medical aid for suspected injection injury

. If 

injured by high-pressure fluid, no matter how small the 

wound is, see a doctor at once.  A typical injection injury 

may be a small puncture wound that does not look 

serious.  However, severe infection or reaction can 

result if proper medical treatment is not administered 

immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection 

injuries.

 

Seek medical aid for suspected carbon monoxide 

poisoning

.  The running engine gives off carbon 

monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you.  If you start 

to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the pressure 

washer, shut off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT 

AWAY.  See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide 

poisoning. 

 

Wear Personal Protective Gear  

WARNING

 

Wear personal protective gear to prevent: 

-  Eye and skin injection injury from high pressure spray 

-  Eye injury from flying debris

 

1.

 

Wear waterproof gloves, ANSI Z87.1 compliant 

safety goggles, face protection, and protective 

clothing when operating the pressure washer.           

If spraying pressure washer specific chemicals, wear 

a respirator mask to avoid inhalation of vapors if 

directed on the chemical label. 

2.

 

Wear non-slip, protective footwear.  Use of pressure 

washer can create puddles and slippery surfaces.  

Wear footwear capable of maintaining a good grip on 

wet surfaces. 

Preparing for Operation 

Make sure that any regular maintenance has been 

performed as prescribed in 

“Maintenance & Repair”

 

section. 

 

Check/Add Oil to Pump 

CAUTION 

Never run the pump without sufficient lubrication! 

1.

 

Check oil level.  Verify that oil level is halfway up the 

sight glass. 

2.

 

If oil level is low, use the oil type from above table. 

3.

 

Replace vented fill cap. 

Check/Add Engine Oil 

Use the recommended oil type for your engine and 

expected ambient conditions.  (See engine Owner's 

Manual for oil type and capacity, and more detailed oil 

check/fill instructions.) 

 

WARNING 

Burn Hazard 

Never open oil port while engine is running. Hot oil can 

spray over face and body.  

Notes:   

 

Low oil shutdown feature prevents the engine from 

starting without sufficient oil.   

 

Engine is shipped without oil.  You must add oil 

before first use. 

 

Low water shutdown feature prevents the engine 

from operating without sufficient water in the tank.
