• To turn pressure washer off place the on/off switch to

the off position.

• Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure

in the system. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun

for about 3 seconds to relieve pressure. Spray

stream will decrease in length.

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a thermal relief

valve. If unit is allowed to run for several minutes

without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, several

drops of water may be released through this valve to
cool the unit. This small amount of water will drip from

the bottom of the pump.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

To operate the engine you wilt need to do the following.

A

CAUTION: Always check engine oil level before

every start. Running engine low of oil or out of oil

could result in serious damage.

A

CAUTION: Always check pump oil level before

every start. Running pump low on oil could result

In pump damage.

Adding Pump Oil

Before running the high pressure washer, check the
pump oil level by viewing the sight glass on the side of

the pump. When properly filled, the oil will be at the

half way point marked by the two triangles. Your
pressure washer pump is shipped with oil. Add only if
oil level is lower than the half way point on the sight
glass.

Do not overfUl.

Use 30 weight non-detergent oil

if necessary.

A CAUTION: Do Not use engine oil that has been

shipped with your unit in your pump. Engine oil is
detergent and your pump uses a non-detergent
oil. Detergent oil can cause damage to your pump.

Your unit has been shipped without oil in the engine.

A bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the
carton. Remove oil dip stick located on the side of
engine. The oil dip stick is clearly marked with a

lines that tells you when unit has enough oil. Do not

fill above this point. Pour slowly.

Engine Oil

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use

a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF,

SG, SH rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special addi­

tives. Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to
your expected operating temperatures.

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in

ambient temperatures above 40'’F (4°C) will result in
higher than norma! oil consumption. If multi-viscosity
oil is used, check the oil level more frequently to

prevent any posssible engine damage due to lack of
lubrication.

Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard

starting and possible engine damage due to inad­

equate lubrication.

Gasoline

Your pressure washer engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded

fuel only.

A

CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always

allow room for fuel expansion.

A WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do

not smoke or have open flame when filling fuel

tank.

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
If unleaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be

used.
