overtighten orifice with allen wrench.
8. Reconnect nozzle extension to spray gun.
9. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and pump. Turn on water.
10. Engage trigger lock on spray gun and start engine
following instructions How to Start Your Pressure
Washer.
11. Test pressure washer by operating with nozzle in high
and low positions.
O-Ring Maintenance
Purchase an O-Ring/ Maintenance Kit, model 6048 by
contacting the nearest authorized service center. It is not
included with the pressure washer. This kit includes
replacement o-rings, rubber washer and water inlet filter.
Refer to the instruction sheet provided in the kit to service
your unit's o-rings.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and

Oil Recommendations
NOTE: Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher. DO NOT use special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the table below:
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification
mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF ENERGY
CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable oil at all
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
SAE 30: 40°F and higher (5°C and higher) is good for all
purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-30: 0 to 100°F (-18 to 38°C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This viscosity improves cold
weather starting, but may increase oil consumption above
80°F (27°C).
*Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120°F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at all temperatures as well as improved
starting with less oil consumption.
5W-30: 40°F and below (5°C and below) is recommended
for winter use and works best in cold conditions.
