OPERATION
17
 CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 85
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the pressure washer at the
pump. Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline
to the pressure washer.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
 WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in
gasoline splashing over the operator while filling.

NOTICE
The engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some
issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or
a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The
compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
OPERATION
Pressure Washer Location
This pressure washer must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance
from combustible material. Leave at least 3 ft.
(91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the pressure washer to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place
the pressure washer in a well ventilated area. DO NOT place the
pressure washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could
be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider
wind and air currents when positioning pressure washer.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Turn the water supply ON.
2. Pull the trigger on the trigger gun to purge all air from the
pump and hose. This may take several minutes.
3. Do not start the engine until a steady stream of water is
flowing from the nozzle.
 CAUTION
Never operate your pressure washer without water.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the pressure washer is on a flat, level surface.
2. Move fuel valve to the “ON” position.
