Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property
damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. When adding
gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit is sitting
on a flat, level surface and only add fuel outdoors. If the
engine is hot, let the pressure washer cool for at least five
minutes before adding gas. Immediately replace fuel cap
after fueling and tighten until the cap "clicks." Move at
least 30 ft. from refueling site before starting engine. Do
not smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks!
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire
and cause serious personal injury.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 9 - 11.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
 Connect all hoses.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to
relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the engine:
 Turn the fuel valve to the OPEN position.
 Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
 Pull choke out to the START position.
NOTE: If restarting after a brief stop (i.e., after refueling
or moving), leave the choke lever in the RUN position.
 Grasp the starter grip and rope and pull slowly until
resistance is felt. Give the starter grip and rope a short,
brisk pull to start the engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
 Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke to the RUN position.
To stop the engine:
 Put the on/off switch in the OFF position.
 Turn the fuel valve to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the
system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
