unleaded gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
• CLEAN, FRESH, unleaded gasoline, 87–93 octane.
• Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable (where
available; non-ethanol fuel is recommended).
• DO NOT use E85 or E15.
• DO NOT use a gas oil mix.
• DO NOT modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.

USING FUEL STABILIZER
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable
life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that
can clog the fuel system. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Always mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to gasoline
in an approved gasoline container before fueling the
pressure washer. Run the pressure washer for two minutes
to allow the stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
