NOTE: The engine and pump on your PROFORCE
TM
Pressure Washer will often have improved performance
after a break-in period of several hours.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the pressure washer, check for loose or
missing parts and for any damage which may have occurred
during shipment.
HOSE AND GUN ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Align threaded connections carefully to
prevent damaging threads during assembly. Tighten
connections securely to prevent leaks during operation.
Attach the hose to the inlet of the trigger gun.
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start the pressure washer engine
without filling the engine crank case with the proper amount
and type of oil. (See the accompanying engine manual for this
information.) Your pressure washer engine has been shipped
from the factory without oil in the engine crankcase.
Operating the unit without oil will ruin the engine.
The pump is not equipped with a dipstick or side glass
window. Check oil leaks from the pump. Pump oil is shipped
in the pump from factory. Follow pump manufacturer’s
maintenance schedule for proper care.
NOTE: Remove the yellow shipping plug from the
pump oil cap prior to using pressure washer.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive
gasoline. (See Figure 1). Regular grade gasoline may be used
provided a high octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump
octane).
Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury may result from
fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/2
inch below the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow
expansion in hot weather and prevent overflow.
