Step 4. Start the Engine to Power the Pump 1. Make sure a water supply is connected and primed. Note: Running the pump dry will cause damage and void the warranty. 2. To prevent accidental spraying, engage the safety latch on the spray gun trigger by rotating it to the locked position. 3. Follow these instructions for starting the engine: a) To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the close position. To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the open position.
c) Turn the engine switch to the ON position. The engine switch enables and disables the ignition system. The engine switch must be in the ON position for the engine to run. Turning the engine switch to the OFF position stops the engine. d) Operate the Recoil Starter: Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, and then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently. Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil starter to crank the engine.
Setting the Engine Speed Position the throttle lever for the desired engine speed. Moving the throttle lever in the directions shown makes the engine run faster or slower. After starting the engine, move the throttle lever to the FAST position and check the pump output. The pump output is controlled by adjusting the engine speed. Moving the throttle lever in the FAST direction will increase the pump output, and moving the throttle lever in the SLOW direction will decrease the pump output.

Maintenance ⚠WARNING ALWAYS shut off the water supply, bleed the water pressure, turn off the engine, and disconnect the spark plug wire before cleaning, adjusting, or servicing the pressure washer. After servicing, make sure all guards and cover shields are replaced before using.
Air Cleaner Maintenance A dirty air cleaner will decrease the airflow quantity through the carburetor. To avoid issues with the carburetor, clean the air cleaner regularly. In extremely dusty areas, this should be done more often. ⚠WARNING Never clean the air cleaner in gasoline or low-flash point solvent, for gasoline and low-flash point solvent may produce flames and even an explosion in certain conditions. CAUTION Never operate the water pump without the air cleaner installed.
⚠CAUTION Be sure to tighten the spark plug securely, otherwise it may become very hot and possibly damage the engine. Never use a spark plug with the improper heat range.
