7.Reinstall the nozzle into the lance.

8.Reconnect the lance to the spray gun.

9.Make sure the garden hose is connected to the pump water inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is connected to the spray gun and pump. Turn on the water.

10.Start the engine following the instructions How to Start Your Power Washer.

11.Test the power washer by operating it with each quick connect nozzle.

PUMP OIL MAINTENANCE

Change pump oil every 50 hours of operation.

1.Clean area around oil drain plug (A) (Figure 33).

2.Remove oil drain plug. Drain oil completely.

3.Install oil drain plug. Do not over tighten.

4.Clean Area around oil dipstick (B).

5.Fill pump with SAE 30 non-detergent oil. Oil level must be between the "L" and "H" mark on dipstick (Figure 34). DO NOT

OVERFILL.

6.Install oil dipstick until finger tight.

ENGINE MAINTENANCEUnintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR POWER WASHER:

•Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK:

•Use an approved spark plug tester.

•DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend the use of high-quality detergent oils acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

SAE 30*

10W-30**

5W-30

*Below 50°F (10°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

**Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

NOTE:

Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification mark and API service symbol with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

NOTE:

The engine is equipped with an "Oil Alert System". This system will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below a safe limit. To avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level before startup.
