Stopping Your Pressure Washer

A CAUTION: Do not run pump without the water supply connected and turned on. Failure to do so will result in pump damage.

•To turn pressure washer off place the on/off switch to the off position.

•Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure in the system. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun for about 3 seconds to relieve pressure. Spray stream will decrease in length.

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a thermal relief valve. If unit is allowed to run for several minutes

without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, several drops of water may be released through this valve to cool the unit. This small amount of water will drip from the bottom of the pump.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

To operate the engine you will need to do the following.

,& CAUTION: Always check engine oil level before

every start. Running engine low of oil or out of oil could result in serious damage.

_, CAUTION: Always check pump oil level before every start. Running pump low on oil could result in pump damage.

Adding Pump Oil

Before running the high pressure washer, check the pump oil level by viewing the sight glass on the side of the pump. When properly filled, the oil will be at the half way point marked by the two triangles. Your pressure washer pump is shipped with oil. Add only if oil level is lower than the half way point on the sight glass. Do not overfill. Use 30 weight non-detergent oil if necessary.

ACAUTION: Do Not use engine oil that has been shipped with your unit in your pump. Engine oil is detergent and your pump uses a non-detergent oil. Detergent oil can cause damage to your pump.

Engine Oil

Your unit has been shipped without oil in the engine. A bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the carton. Remove oil dip stick located on the side of

engine. The oil dip stick is clearly marked with a lines that tells you when unit has enough oil. Do not fill above this point. Pour slowly.

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use

a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service SF, SG, SH rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special addi- tives. Select the oil'sviscosity grade according to your expected operating temperatures.

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines. The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in

higher than normal oil consumption, if multi-viscosity oil is used, check the oil level more frequently to

prevent any posssible engine damage due to lack of lubrication.

Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard starting and possible engine damage due to inad- equate lubrication.

Gasoline

Your pressure washer engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded fuel only.

_, CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for fuel expansion.

_,WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke or have open flame when filling fuel tank.

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If unleaded fuel is not avalab[e, leaded fuel may be used.
