BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
Before you operate your pressure washer, you should
prepare the engine for the initial starting. To operate
the engine you will need to do the following:
Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
Note: When adding oil to the engine
crankcase, use only high quality detergent oil
rated with API service classification SF,SG, SH
or SH/CD rated SAE 30 weight. Select the oils
viscosity grade according to your expected
operating temperature. Do Not Use SAE 10W40
Oil.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more fre-
quently to avoid possible damage from running low on
oil.
 Place pressure washer on a level surface.
 Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick
(Figure 8)
 Wipe dipstick clean. Pour oil into oil fill opening until
oil reaches FULL mark on the dipstick. Stop occa-
sionally to check oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
 Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
Note: Check Oil Often During Engine Breakin.
Add Gasoline
DANGER! Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Never fill fuel tank when engine is run-
ning or hot. Do not smoke when filling
fuel tank.
WARNING! Never fill fuel tank completely
full. Fill tank to about 1/2" below the
bottom of the filler neck to provide space
for fuel expansion. Wipe away any fuel
spillage from engine and equipment before
starting.
The manufacturer recommends fresh, clean unleaded
regular automotive gasoline.
 Use clean fuel and store in approved, clean covered
containers. Use clean fill funnels. Never use stale
gasoline left over from last season or gasoline stored
for long periods.
 Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap
(Figure 9).
