perform these tasks before you can operate your
pressure washer:
• Add oil to engine crankcase.
• Add fuel to fuel tank.
• Connect high pressure hose to the spray gun and
the pump.
• Connect water supply to the pump.
Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher rated SAE 30
weight. Do Not use special additives.
• Choose a viscosity according to the table below:
ASSEMBLING YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
5W-30, 10W-30

I
Synthetic 5W-30, 10W-30
STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
• The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result In higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi­
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible
engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
• Place pressure washer on a level surface.
• Clean area around oil fill.
• Remove oil fill cap and dipstick.
• Wipe dipstick clean. Insert It into oil fill hole and
tighten securely, remove dipstick. Add
recommended oil up to “Full” mark on dipstick.
