ChECKING ThE OIL
Check the oil level of the pressure washer according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Figure 17.
The pressure washer should be checked before each use for proper oil level. This is a critical step for proper
engine starting. To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Clean around oil fill. Remove dipstick and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill
opening without screwing in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark. Add oil if the oil mark covers less than
one half of the dipstick.
3. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 2 until the oil mark reaches to the top of dipstick (Fig. 18). Do not over fill
the crankcase.
4. Reinstall oil dipstick and access panel.
MAINTENANCE & CARE
ChANGING/ADDING OIL
(Fig. 19)
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Fig. 17. Change the oil when the en-
gine is warm to allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load or high ambi-
ent temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water
or dirt. The oil capacity of the pressure washer engine is 15.3 fl oz (450 ml). Add oil when the oil level is low.
For proper type of oil refer to the “add oil” portion of the “Pressure washer Preparation” section. To change oil:
1. Shut off engine. Clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick to keep out debris then remove oil fill cap/dip-
stick.
2. Place an oil pan on the ground to catch oil. Remove oil plug then tilt pressure washer back and to the side to
empty out the oil from the crankcase.
3. Once oil is completely drained, return the pressure washer to a level position and install the oil drain plug. Re-
fill the engine with new oil as instructed earlier in this manual under Adding/Checking Oil.
