OPERATION
 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 gasoline 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.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 12 - 15.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer 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.
Before first time use:
 Remove caution label and black plug from the red cap
on pump.
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 (lubricants and gas).
NOTE: The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that
will prevent the engine from starting and/or running if
there is insufficient lubricant in the crankcase.
 Turn on the garden hose then pull 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:
 Place the engine switch in the ON ( l ) position.
 Open the fuel valve.
 Move the choke lever 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.
 Pull the starter grip and rope until the engine runs (a
maximum of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
 Pull the trigger to relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until
a steady stream of water appears.
WARNING:
If the engine does not start after each pull of the
starter grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve
water pressure before attempting to start the en-
gine again. Failure to relieve water pressure can
cause the starter grip and rope to lock up and result
in serious personal injury.
 As the engine warms up, move the choke lever slowly to
the RUN position.
 Let the engine warm up a few minutes before using.
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump
and engine during use. If you notice any lubricant
leaking around the pump or engine seals, stop
using the pressure washer immediately. Contact
customer service or a qualified service center for
repair. Failure to do so may cause property damage.
To stop the engine:
 Turn the engine switch to OFF ( O ) position.
 Close the fuel valve.
 Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Disconnect all hoses.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet
of clearance on all sides of this product, includ-
ing overhead. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of
"cool down" time before storage. Keep all body
parts, clothing, combustible materials, and hoses
away from the muffler. Heat created by muffler
and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause
serious burns, ignite combustible objects, and/or
damage high pressure hoses that can result in an
injection injury.
