STEP 3. INITIAL PUMP & ENGINE PREPARATION
Prepare Water Pump
Verify pump oil level.
NOTICE: The pump is shipped with oil.
1. Verify that oil level is half way up the sight
glass (or at the indicator line on the dip stick).
2. If oil level is low, fill with SAE Non-detergent
30wt. oil.
3. Replace oil fill dipstick.
Check Engine Oil
Check the engine oil before starting the pressure washer.
NOTICE: The engine is shipped with oil. You must check oil before use.
Refer to the engine manual to locate oil-fill port and for instructions on filling. Use the oil grade and quantity specified
in the engine’s owner’s manual.
STEP 4. CONNECTING THE BATTERY
Unit is supplied with a battery, but not connected for shipping. The engine will not run unless a battery is connected.
Follow the steps below for connecting and disconnecting the battery.
If replacing the existing battery, a 12-volt standard, top-post mount, automotive battery (Group 75/86) with a minimum 24
amp-hour rating should be used. The battery should be installed in the protective battery box located near the engine. The
inside dimensions of the battery compartment are 11-1/8" L x 7-3/4" W x 10-1/8" H.
WARNING: Batteries are hazardous because they contain caustic acid, can emit explosive gases, and can cause electric shock. Caution must
be exercised when making connections to a battery to avoid shock and contact with the acid, and to prevent any sparking that could lead to an
explosion. ALWAYS follow the general battery safety rules and instructions listed below.
General Battery Safety
Rules
• ALWAYS use eye protection and protective clothing when handling batteries.
• NEVER smoke or work near sparks or other sources of ignition.
• NEVER touch both battery terminals at the same time with your hand or any other non-insulated tools.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, flush immediately with water and neutralize with baking soda.
Connecting the Battery
Always connect the cables in the following sequence to avoid shock:
1) Find the battery cables located inside the battery compartment.
2) Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
3) Then connect the black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Disconnecting the Battery
Always disconnect cables in the following sequence to avoid shock:
1) First, disconnect the black cable from the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
2) Next, disconnect the red cable from the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
3) Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Grounding Skid to Trailer
WARNING: Always ensure the pressure washer is properly grounded to trailer frame to prevent electrical shock
and static electricity.
Shipping pallets can insulate the pressure washer from the trailer frame. Always ensure grounding wire is connected
to bare metal on the trailer frame as shown in Figure 06603.
