ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 9.
NOTE:
This machine has been shipped with approximately
0.06 l (2 oz.) of lubricant in the engine from testing.
You must
add lubricant to the engine before starting it the first time.
NOTICE:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding lubricant
will result in engine failure.
To add engine lubricant:
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface. Do not tilt.
Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
Before first use, squeeze the entire contents of the
lubricant container provided into the oil reservoir.
After initial use, add 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 30 or
SAE 10W30) until the fluid level rises to the upper portion
of the hatched area on the dipstick.
Do not overfill.
Replace the oil cap/dipstick and securely tighten.
To check engine lubricant level:
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface. Do not tilt.
Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not rethread.
Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant
level should fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises
to the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause
excessive smoke and engine damage.
ETHANOL-BLENDED FUELS
NOTICE:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel in this product. It is a
violation of federal law and will damage the unit
and void your warranty. Only use unleaded gasoline
containing up to 10% ethanol.
ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 10.
DANGER:
Risk of fire and serious burns:
Never remove fuel cap
when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapours 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.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never remove fuel
cap or add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine.
Make sure the unit is sitting on a flat, level surface and
only add fuel outdoors. If the engine is hot, let the unit
cool for at least five minutes before adding fuel. After fu-
eling, immediately replace fuel cap and tighten securely.
Move at least 9 m (30 ft.) from refueling site before starting
engine. Do not smoke and stay away from open flames
and sparks! Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire and cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or line is a
fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If you find
any leaks, correct the problem before using the product.
Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause
serious personal injury.
NOTE:
This is a 4-cycle engine. DO NOT mix fuel and
lubricant together.
Mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline according to fuel stabilizer
manufacturer’s directions.
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 38 mm
(1-1/2 in.) 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.

This pressure washer model is provided with both electric
start and recoil start capabilities. Avoid prolonged cranking,
as it can damage the engine.
The battery provided is a nominal 12 volt sealed rechargeable
lead-acid battery and can be operated in any position without
leakage. It complies with non-spillable battery regulations.
NOTE:
