WARNING Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from ladder, scaf- folding or any other relatively unstable loca- tion. Pressure in a running washer builds in the wand as you climb. When you press the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could force you to fall, or if you are too close to the cleaning surface, high pressure could force you off a climbing apparatus.

washer (see TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER).

Slide adjustable nozzle rearward to high pressure position and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow when in the high pressure mode.

°When detergent has cleared you may want to expand the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same action as for cleaning.

Stopping the Pressure Washer

BEFORE STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER

To operate the engine you willneed to do the following:

ENGINE OIL

A 20 oz. bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the parts carton. Fil! engine crankcase with recommended oil until oil level is at FULL point on dipstick. Do not

overfill above that mark. About 20 ounces is required. POUR SLOWLY .....

Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF and SG rated SAE 30 weight.

Use no special additives.

Select the oil'sviscosity grade according to your expect- ed operating temperature.

colder _ 32°F _ warmer

	!
5W30	SAE 30

Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32" F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible damage from running low on oil. Oil sump capacity is 20 ounces.

•Place pressure washer on a level surface

•Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
