BEFORE STARTING THE CLEANING SYSTEM

To operatethe engineyouwillneedto dothe following:

Add Engine Oil

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF, SG or SH. Select the oil's

SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature:

colder _ 40°F _ warmer

<	I
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 40°F. Check your engine oil level more

frequently to avoid possible damage from running low on oil.

at least 3.0 gallons per minute. Connect a garden hose to the water spout.

•Check that the high pressure hose is tightly connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See ASSEMBLY section on page 4.

•Check inlet screen on the water inlet. If the screen is dirty, clean before attaching a garden hose. If the screen is damaged, do not connect to the garden hose. Replace with screen provided in maintenance kit or call 1-.800-366-PART to order a replacement inlet screen.
