IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See “Storage”
on page 12. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Connect Hose and Water Supply to
Pump
IMPORTANT: You must assemble the nozzle extension
to the spray gun and attach all hoses before you start the
engine. Starting engine without all hoses connected and
water supplied will damage the pump.
• Uncoil the high pressure hose and attach one end of the
hose to the base of the spray gun (Figure 3).Tighten by
hand.
• Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to the
high pressure outlet on the pump (Figure 4).Tighten by
hand.
• Before you connect your garden hose to the water inlet,
inspect the inlet screen (Figure 5). Clean the screen if it
contains debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT
RUN THE PRESSURE WASHER IF THE SCREEN IS
DAMAGED.
• Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to
clean out any debris.
IMPORTANT: Do Not siphon standing water for the
water supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F).
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet.Tighten by
hand (Figure 5).
CAUTION! There MUST be at least ten feet of
unrestricted garden hose between the pressure washer
inlet and any flow shut off device, such as a ‘Y’ shut-off
connector or other convenience-type water shut-off valve.
