RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
A 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.

Hook up the water supply and start your pressure washer (see TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER).
Slide adjustable nozzle back 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 pattem for a more gentle rinsing action. Start at top of area to be dnsed, working down with same action as for cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing siphon from bottle.
HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
•Move the Throttle Control Lever to the 'Slow'position,
Note: When addingoil to the engine crankcase in the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classificationSF or SG rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special additives.
Select the oil'sviscositygrade according to your expect- ed operating temperature.

•Wait for the engine to idle down.
•Move the Throttle Control Lever to the 'Stop'position.
•Simply shutting off the engine will not release pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.
Note: A small amount of water will squirt out when you release the pressure.
BEFORE STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER
To operate the engine you will need to do the following:
ENGINE OIL
A 20 oz. bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the parts carton. Fill engine crankcase with recommended
oil until oil level is at FULL point on dipstick. Do not overfill above that mark. POUR SLOWLY.
WARNING NEVER fill fuel tank indoors. NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
A CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room for expansion.
Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the pressure washer engine. Regular leaded gasoline may also be used if UNLEADED is not available. Fuel tank capaci- ty is 1.6 U.S. quart.
IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicatesthat
(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 shouldbe emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See "Storage" on page 13. Never use engine or carburetorcleaner productsin the fuel tank or perma- nent damage may occur.
•Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
•Add "UNLEADED" regular gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
•Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
