ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 8.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
2 oz. of lubricant in the engine from testing. You must add
lubricant to the engine before starting it the first time.
NOTICE:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding lubricant
will result in engine failure.
To add engine lubricant:
 Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface. Do not tilt.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick by turning counterclockwise.
 Before first use, squeeze the entire contents of the lubri-
cant container provided into the oil reservoir.
After initial use, add 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 30 or
SAE 10W30) until the fluid level rises to the upper portion
of the hatched area on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
 Replace the oil cap/dipstick and securely tighten.
To check engine lubricant level:
 Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface. Do not tilt.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick by turning counterclockwise.
 Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not rethread.
 Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant
level should fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
 If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises
to the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause ex-
cessive smoke and engine damage.
ETHANOL-BLENDED FUELS
NOTICE:
Do not use E15 or E85 fuel in this product. It is a viola-
tion of federal law and will damage the unit and void
your warranty. Only use unleaded gasoline containing
up to 10% ethanol.
ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 9.
DANGER:
Risk of fire and serious burns: Never remove fuel cap
when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and prop-
erty damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Make sure the unit is sitting on a flat, level sur-
face and only add fuel outdoors. If the engine is hot, let
the unit cool for at least five minutes before adding fuel.
After fueling, immediately replace fuel cap and tighten
securely. 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.
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or line is a
fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If you find
any leaks, correct the problem before using the product.
Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause
serious personal injury.
NOTE: This is a 4-cycle engine. DO NOT mix fuel and
lubricant together.
 Turn the fuel valve to the closed position.
 Mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline according to fuel stabilizer
manufacturer's directions.
 Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap.
 Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly pour gas-
oline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately 1-1/2 in. below
the top of the tank neck (this allows for fuel expansion).
 Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap "clicks".
 Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
ELECTRIC START
This pressure washer model is provided with both electric
start and recoil start capabilities. Avoid prolonged cranking,
as it can damage the engine.
The battery provided is a nominal 12 volt sealed rechargeable
lead-acid battery and can be operated in any position without
leakage. It complies with non-spillable battery regulations.
NOTE: This pressure washer is shipped with the battery
cable disconnected. The battery cable must be connected
