4) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in a UL
approved tightly sealed container.
Inspect Fuel System/Check for Leaks
Inspect the engine fuel system and check for leaks
before each use.
Do not start pressure washer until all needed repairs
have been completed.
WARNING: Fuel Leak Hazard
Gasoline fuel is highly explosive and fuel leaks
can result in fire or explosions. You can be
burned and seriously injured if the fuel system is
not properly hooked up or there is a fuel leak
when you start the engine.
Inspect the entire fuel system. Look for:

signs of leaks or deterioration

chafed or spongy fuel hose

loose connections

loose or missing fuel hose clamps

damaged fuel tank or

defective gasoline shut-off valve
Inspect Spray System
Always inspect spray system for damage and leaks
before each use. Do not start pressure washer until all
needed repairs have been completed.
WARNING: High Pressure Fluid
Injection Hazard
High-pressure fluid discharge from leaks (even pin-
sized) or ruptured components can pierce skin and
inject fluid into the body. Injection injury can result in
blood poisoning and/or severe tissue damage leading
to infection, gangrene, and possibly amputation.

Never use a finger or skin to check for leaks.

Never operate machine with damaged or missing
hoses/parts.

Never attempt to repair a high-pressure hose or
component – Always replace it with a part that is
rated at or above the pressure rating of this
machine.
Perform Scheduled Maintenance, As needed
Make sure that any other regular maintenance has been
performed as prescribed in this manual in the
"Maintenance Schedule Summary" section.
Refer to the “Engine Manual” section for engine
maintenance instructions.
Connect Hoses, Water Supply, and Spray
Nozzle
Position pressure washer for use

For detailed instruction on positioning your pressure
washer for use, turn to the “Initial Set-Up” section of
this manual and reference “Step 3: Select Suitable
Location”.

Where no flammable vapors, dusts, and gases are
present.

Where there is adequate, unobstructed ventilation
airflow.

With adequate clearance from combustible
materials.

On a firm, level, heat-resistant surface with good
drainage and nearby access to a continuous water
supply.
Attach Garden Hose to Water Inlet
1
.) Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can
cause excess pump wear and reduce performance.
2.) An insufficient water supply will damage your
pump. Make sure the water supply is steady and is
20% over the rated flow of your pump. Use a
stopwatch to time how long it takes to fill a 5-gallon
bucket with your garden hose. The bucket must fill
faster than the times listed in the table below.
Model Time to fill 5 gallon bucket
1577149 100 seconds
1577249 100 seconds
3.) The water supply garden hose must have an inside
diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is more than
100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least 3/4”.
4.) Never use a reservoir tank as a water source.
Drawing water out of a tank may cause pump
cavitation and damage to your pump. This
pressure washer is designed for a pressurized
water source such as a city water faucet. However,
the water source pressure must not exceed 115 psi
(8 bar).
5.) Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water
supply. Do not use rigid piping.
