Setup

This unit should only be placed on a level surface while
operating to ensure proper lubrication for the engine and
water pump.

Be certain to block wheels to prevent unit from moving
while operating.

Before initial use, make sure the oil cap/dipstick is
inserted into the pump. Because of varying shipping
requirements, the pump may need to be shipped with an
oil travel plug instead of the dipstick in the pump. If your
pump has been shipped with an oil travel plug, you will
need to remove it and replace the plug with the oil dip-
stick provided with the unit.

Once properly installed, check the oil sight glass on the
pump crankcase. Make sure the oil level is in the center
of the sight glass before each use. If the level appears
to be low, add pump oil and fill only to the center of the
oil sight glass. Refer to the Parts List for the correct
pump oil. Do not overfill!

Engine Fuel Tank

A minimum of 86 octane fuel is recommended for use
with this unit. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that may be used within 30
days. Use of clean, fresh lead-free gasoline is recom-
mended. Leaded gasoline may be used if lead-free is
unavailable. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or
alcohol.

Check the engine oil level before starting the engine
(see engine manual).

Fill the fuel tank according to engine manual.

Occasional carburetor and choke adjustments will be
necessary for the engine. Refer to the engine manual
supplied with this unit for proper adjustment procedures.

Review the engine manual accompanying this pressure
washer for correct engine start-up and maintenance pro-
cedures.

Do not use unit in an area:
• with insufficient ventilation

Do not allow unit to be exposed to rain, snow or freez-
ing temperatures. If any part of the unit becomes fro-
zen, excessive pressure may build up which could
cause it to burst and result in possible serious injury.
