Add Engine
Oil
1.
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2.
Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill
cap/dipstick.
3.
Hold neck of supplied oil pouch and remove cap.
4.

Full
NOTICE
Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick
clean each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
NOTICE
improper treatment of pressure washer
could damage it and shorten its life.
, DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil. This
could result in an engine failure.
5.
Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
Fue_ must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). For
high altitude use, see High Altitude.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasoho 0 is
acceptaMe.
NOTICE
Use of unapproved fuels couJd damage
generator and voids warranty.
, DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E15 and E85.
• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline or modify engine to run on
alternate fuels.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
_i
flammable
and explosive
which could
cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting
in death or serious injury.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
. Turn pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least
2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap stowty to
relieve pressure in tank.
* Fill fuel tank outdoors.
* DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
* If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
* Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
* Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
* DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a
fuel stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is
not the same. If you experience starting or performance
problems after using fuel, switch to a different fuel
provider or change brands. This engine is certified to
operate on gasoline. The emission control system for
this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
1.
Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2.
Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel
tank (B). Be careful not to overfill. To allow for fuel
expansion, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel
tank neck.
3.
Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to
evaporate.
CAUTION!
Alcohol-Mended 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
treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage
of 30 days or longer, ff adding a fuel preserver, fill the
fuel tank with fresh fuel. If only partially filled, air in the
tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage, if
fuel preserver is not used, 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 for
additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
High Altitude
At altkudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To
remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operation without this adjustment will cause
decreased performance, increased fuel consumption,
and increased emissions. See a qualified Sears dealer
for high a_titude adjustment information. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters)
with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
