eli Recommendations

NOTE:Usea high quality detergent oii classified "For Service SF,SG, SH, SJ" or higher. DO NOTuse special additives.

1= Choosea viscosity according to the tabb below:

CheckingOil Level

OiI level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 5 hours of operation. Keepoii ievei maintained.

1.Makesure pressure washer is on a ievei surface=

2= Remove oii dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cioth= Reptaceand tigilten dipstick. Removeand and check oil levei.

3.Verify oii is at "FuIF mark on dipstick. Replaceand tigilten dipstick.

Adding EngineOil

1= Makesure pressure washer is on a Ieveisurface.

2.Checkoii ievei as described in Checking Off Level

3.If needed,siowiy pour oil into oil fiii openingto the "Full" mark on dipstick. DO NOToverfill.

NOTE:Synthetic oii meeting iLSAC GF=2,API certification markand APi service symboi with "SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING"or higher, is an acceptable oii at aii temperatures. Useof synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

SAE30: 40°Fand higher (5°C and higher) is good for aii purpose use above 40%, use below 40°F will cause hard starting.

18W-30:0 to IO0°F (=18to 38°C) is better for varying temperature conditions. This viscosity improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80% (27%).

*Check oii bvet frequently at higiler temperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30:=20 to 120°F(=30to 40 °C) provides the best protection at ali temperatures as weil as improved starting with iess oii consumption=

5W-30: 40°F and below (5°C and be/'ow)is recommendedfor winter use and works best in cold conditions=

Overfilling with oil may causethe engineto not start, or hard starting.

DONOToverfill.

ChangingEngineOil

Changeengine oii after the first 5 hours and every 50 hours thereafter, if you are using your pressure washer under extremeiy dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change oil more often.
