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, SJ or higher rated SAE 30
weight. DO NOT use special additives.
1.
Choose a viscosity according to table below.

* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it will result in hard starting and possible
engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2.
Place pressure washer on a level surface and
clean area around oil fill.
3.
Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean
cloth. RepJace and tighten dipstick. Remove and
and check oil level.
.
SJowly pour oiJ into oil fiJJopening. Pause to permit
oil to settle. FiJJto "Fuji" mark on dipstick. DO
NOT OVERFILL. Remove dipstick and check oiJ
level.
NOTE: You may not need to use all the supplied oil.
5.
Replace and tighten dipstick.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break-in.
Add Fuel
WARNING
WHEN
ADDING
FUEL
Turn
pressure
washer
OFF and let it cool at least 2
minutes
before
removing
fuel cap. Loosen
cap slowly
to
relieve
pressure
in tank.
Fil! or drain fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overfill
tank. Allow
space for fuel expansion.
Keep fue! away from sparks,
open flames,
pilot lights,
heat, and other
ignition
sources.
DO NOT light a cigarette
or smoke.
NOTE: This gasoline engine is certified to operate on
gasoline. Exhaust Emission Control System: EM
(Engine Modifications).
1.
Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED fuel with a
minimum of 77 octane with equipment. DO NOT
use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil
with fuel.
2.
Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3.
Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" of tank
space for fuel expansion, as shown here.
4.
Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
CAUTION!
Alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the
fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See "Storage" on pages 18-19 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
