ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE OIL
See Figure 7.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
2 oz. of oil in the engine from testing. You must add oil to
the engine before starting it the first time.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-
ply 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.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding oil will
result in engine failure.
To add engine oil:
 Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
 Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
 Before first use, squeeze the entire contents of the oil
container provided into the oil reservoir.
After initial use, add 4-stroke engine oil (SAE 30 or SAE
10W30) until the fluid level rises to the upper portion of
the hatched area on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
NOTE: When refilling, you will need to add 12-13.5 oz.
(0.35-0.41 liters) of engine oil.
 Replace the oil cap / dipstick and securely tighten.
To check engine oil level:
 Set engine on a flat surface.
 Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not rethread.
 Remove dipstick again and check oil level. Oil level should
fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
 If level is low, add engine oil until the fluid level rises to
the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause ex-
cessive smoke and engine damage.
