ENGLISH 76525 Assembly Your pressure washer requires some assembly. This unit ships from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation. If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your pressure washer, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available. Remove the Pressure Washer from the Shipping Carton Wheel Assembly 1. Slide Wheel Bolt (#28) through the Wheel (#27) from the outside. 2.
76525 ENGLISH Add Engine Oil CAUTION DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil. Damage to the pressure washer as a result of failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty. NOTE The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil. 1. Place the pressure washer on a flat, level surface. 2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil. 3. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick.
ENGLISH 76525 Assembly Attach the Pressure Gun Assembly Add Fuel Cont’d. CAUTION Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 85. Do not mix oil and gasoline. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion. DO NOT pump gas directly into the pressure washer at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the pressure washer. DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors. DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
76525 ENGLISH Operation Starting the Engine Cont’d. Pressure Washer Location This pressure washer must have at least five feet of clearance from combustible material. Leave at least three feet of clearance on all sides of the pressure washer to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place the pressure washer in a wellventilated area. DO NOT place the pressure washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
ENGLISH 76525 Operation High Pressure Wash CAUTION Always engage the trigger safety latch when the unit is not in use. The trigger safety latch prevents the gun from being triggered accidentally. Push the latch fully down to engage it. Your unit is equipped with a quick connect nozzle port. Choose the appropriate nozzle tip for the job you are performing. CAUTION The narrow high impact spray can damage some surfaces.
76525 ENGLISH Operation Adjustable Unloader The adjustable unloader, located on top of the valve, can be turned counter clockwise (A) to decrease the PSI or clockwise (B) to increase the PSI. A B Operating Tips CAUTION Never operate your pressure washer without water. CAUTION Never connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply. Connecting your pressure washer to a hot water source will significantly reduce the life of the pump and will void the warranty.
ENGLISH 76525 Operation Operation at High Altitude The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
76525 ENGLISH The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. Maintenance and Storage Oil Cont’d. WARNING Never operate a damaged or defective pressure washer. WARNING Improper maintenance will void your warranty. NOTE Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual. Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner. Correct any issue before operating the pressure washer.
ENGLISH 76525 Maintenance and Storage Cleaning Pressure Washer Maintenance CAUTION DO NOT spray engine with water. Water can contaminate the fuel system. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the engine. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from the engine. Adjustments CPE recommends that you contact our service line at 1-877-338-0999 for all other service and/or adjustment needs.
76525 ENGLISH Maintenance and Storage Engine Stored for Over 30 Days Pressure Washer Storage 1. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank. 2. Run the engine for a few minutes so the treated fuel cycles through the fuel system and carburetor. 3. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position. 4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes. 5. The engine needs to cool completely before cleaning and storage. 6.
