Maintenances as Needed
Make sure that any other regular maintenance has been performed as prescribed in this manual in the

1) Refer to the engine’s owner's manual for engine maintenance instructions.
2) Make sure battery is charged. Charge as needed according to your battery manufacturer's instructions.
STEP 2. ADD FUEL(S)
WARNING: Fuel fire/explosion hazard
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Burner fuels are combustible at warm temperatures. Heat, sparks, and flames can ignite fuel vapors,
which can become widespread during fueling. A flash fire and/or explosion could result and cause serious injury or death. Always use extreme
care when handling fuels. Carefully follow all instructions to avoid the following conditions which could result in fuel ignition:
• gas vapor collection inside enclosures
• static electric sparks
• sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or running engines
• sources of heat (such as a hot engine, burner, or exhaust)
• open flames, including pilot lights
Always follow these general safety rules when fueling:
1) Turn pressure washer off and allow it to cool for at least two minutes before removing any fuel cap.
WARNING: A running, or still-hot engine or burner is hot enough to ignite fuel.
2) Fill fuel tank OUTDOORS – never indoors. Fuel vapors can ignite if they collect inside and enclosure and explosion can result.
3) Stay away from all sources of heat, sparks, and flames. Do not smoke.
4) Never pump fuel directly into the gas tank or burner at a gas station – it could cause a static electric spark.
Follow these steps to avoid static electric sparking during fueling:
• Use an approved portable container to transfer fuel to the pressure washer's tank. (A portable container made of metal or conductive plastic is
preferred because it dissipates charge to ground more readily.)
• Always place container on the ground to be filled. Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pick-
up truck bed.
• Dissipate static charge from your body before beginning the fueling process by touching a grounded metal object at a safe distance from fuel
sources.
• Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Clean up fuel spills /splashes immediately.
• If possible, move the pressure washer away from spilled fuel on the ground.
• Wipe up spilled fuel and wait 5 minutes for excess fuel to evaporate before starting engine.
• Fuel soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly.
If fuel is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash skin immediately.
Fill Fuel Tank
Check the fuel tank level. If needed, fill tank with fresh fuel from a portable container:
1) Remove engine gas cap.
2) Add fuel through the fill opening:
- Use only a UL-approved portable fuel container to transfer the fuel to engine's tank.
- Do NOT overfill the fuel tank. Allow at least 1/2" of empty space below the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion.
3) Replace fuel cap securely before starting engine.
