10. Hold wand firmly, release the trigger of the trigger
gun.
11. Start engine. Place throttle lever in the idle position.
12. Squeeze trigger on trigger gun.
13. Slowly pour antifreeze into the funnel. Continue to add
antifreeze until antifreeze flows from the end of the
wand.
14. Squeeze and release the trigger of the trigger gun
several times to antifreeze the unloader system.
15. Release the trigger of the trigger gun. Stop engine.
16. Squeeze the trigger of the trigger gun to relieve sys-
tem pressure.
For added protection, after antifreezing, disconnect the
pressure hose from the machine and remove the coil drain
plug (refer to
Figure 1
for location.) After coil has drained,
replace pressure hose and coil drain plug. If the pressure
washer is not to be used for an extended length of time, it
is recommended that the system be flushed with
antifreeze for rust protection. Refer to the
Gasoline
Engine Manual
for engine storage information.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Unauthorized machine modification or
use of non-approved replacement parts may cause
personal injury and/or property damage and will void
the manufacturer warranty.
Pump
Lubrication:
To lubricate pump, use 10W30 non-
detergent oil for pump crankcase. Crankcase must be filled
to red dot on oil gauge found on the rear of the pump,
refer to
Figure 10.
During the break-in-period, make sure
the oil is changed after the first 50 hours of operation.
After that, replace oil every 3 months or 500 hours of
operation, whichever comes first.

STORAGE
DANGER: Do not store flammable liquids (gasoline,
diesel fuel, solvents, etc.) near pressure washer, or
in non-ventilated areas.
Protect from freezing by storing in a heated area, or by
flushing the system with antifreeze (use an automotive
engine antifreeze or windshield washer solvent to
antifreeze). To flush the system with antifreeze, the
following steps are to be followed:
1. Open detergent control handle on dual lance wand,
refer to
Figure 8.
2. Connect the water supply hose to the garden hose
connector located on the pump. Turn on water supply.
3. Place the detergent inlet line into a container of anti-
freeze.
4. Hold wand firmly, release trigger of trigger gun.
5. Start engine. Place throttle lever in FULL THROTTLE
position.
6. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun and allow water to flow
from the end of the wand. Watch for antifreeze to be
drawn through the detergent inlet line. Allow the anti-
freeze to be drawn into the system for 5 to 10 sec-
onds.
7. Release the tr igger of the trigger gun and stop
engine.
8. Turn off water supply and disconnect water supply
hose from the pump.
9. Attach a short length of hose (approximately 3 feet
long) to the garden hose connector located on the
pump. Install a funnel in the other end of the hose as
shown in
Figure 9.
