length.
Before Starting The Engine
To operate the engine youwill need to do the following.
Note: Yourpressure washer pump is asealed pump,
you should never have to add or change the oil.
Ih, CAUTION: Always check engineoil level before I
I
every start. Runningengine lowof oilor out of oil I
could resultinsedous damage.
Engine Oil
Your unit has been shipped without oil in the engine. A
bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included inthe carton.
Remove oil dip stick located on top of the engine. Oil
capacity is about 20 ounces of oil.The oil dip stick is
clearly marked with a line that tellsyou when unit has
enough oil To check oil, place dipstick into oil fill.
Tighten dipstick then remove. Do notfill above this
point. Pour slowly.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use a
highqualitydetergentoil classified"For ServiceSF,SG,
SH, rated SAE 30 weight, Use no special additives.
Select the oil's viscositygrade accordingto your ex-
pected operatingtemperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30 ISAE 30
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,
Although multi-viscosityoils (5W30, lOW30, etc.)
improve starting in clod weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increasedoil consumption when used
above 40°F Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible damage from running low on oil. Oil
sump capacity is 20 ounces.
Gasoline
Your pressure washer engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded
fuel only.
A, AUTION: Do not overfillthe fuel tank. Always
allow room for fuel expansion.
A, ARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Toavoid
explosionand injury,never fill fuel tank when
engine is runningor hot. Do not smoke or have
open flame when fillingfuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline witha
minimumof 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If
unleaded fuel is unavailable leaded fuel may be used.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
the carburetor,fuelfilter hose ortank duringstorage.
Also,experience indicatesthat alcohol-blendedfuels
(calledgasohol or usingethanolor methanol)can
attract moisture which leadsto separation and forma-
tion of acids duringstorage. 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.Never use engine
orcarburetor cleaner products inthe fueltank or
permanent damage may occur.
