ADDING FUEL
Move the pressure washer outside and place it on a flat and level surface.
Remove the gas tank cap. Carefully add 87 octane (or higher) grade gasoline to the tank.
DO NOT overfill. Leave room for the gasoline to expand.
Replace and hand tighten the gas cap and wipe off any spilled fuel.
WHEN ADDING FUEL TO PRESSURE WASHER, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85 (85% ethanol / 15% gasoline).
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
DO NOT modify the engine to run on alternate fuels.
Turn the pressure washer OFF and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel
cap. Loosen the fuel cap to release the pressure.
Keep the fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other ignition sources.
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke near open fuel tank or container.
Clean area around the fuel fill cap and slowly remove the cap to allow any pressure to escape.
Install the fuel cap and allow any spilled fuel to evaporate before starting the engine.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Slowly add unleaded gasoline (A) to fuel tank (B). Use extreme
caution not to fill fuel above baffle (C). This allows appropriate space for fuel expansion.
USING PRESSURE WASHER AT HIGH ALTITUDES
The engine carburettor is factory adjusted for optimum operation from 0 to 1500 meters above the sea
level. Approximately 10% of power drop in the engine is expected with respect to each 1000 meters of
altitude. To maintain proper emissions compliance and optimum performance and fuel consumption,
high altitude adjustment may be required for altitudes above 1500 meters. If adjustment is required,
contact Gentech Industries.
STARTING
PRIOR TO STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE:
Selected a proper size nozzle for the job at hand (see SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE).
Attached the pressure washer to the water source and turned on the source (see attaching the
pump to water supply).
For your protection, wear the protective safety glasses (provided).
Move the pressure washer outside in a full ventilated area.
