STARTUP

Always use this start-up procedure to ensure that the unit is started safely and properly.

1.Check oil levels.

Engine: Add SA€30or low-30weigM detergentoil as necessary.

Pump: AddSAE 20 or 30 weight non-detergent oil as necessary, or use genuineCAT@pump oil.

NO= All units are equipped witha low-oil sensor that shuts the engine off ifthe oil level falls below a certain level. If the unit stops unexpectedly, checkboththe oil and the fuel levels. Check the011 level each time the unitis refueled.

2.Check fuel level.

WARNING

DO NOT refuel a hot engine. Refuelinga hot engine couldcause afire. Use only fresh,clean regular or unleaded gasoline. Close the fuel shutoff valve during refueling.

3.Rrn on the water supply.

CAUTION

Never run the unit dry. Costly damage to the pump will result. Always be sure the water supply Is completely turned on before

4.Trigger the gun until water sprays from the tip indicating that the airis purged from the system.

5.Open the fuel shutoff valve. Be sure the sparkplug ignition cableis pushedfirmly ontothe spark plug. On those units equipped withan ignition shutoff switch, put the switch in the ”on”positionand put the throttlein the “run” position.

6.Start the engine.

NOTE: For easier starting, have one person start the pressure washer while another person triggers the spray gun.

If the engine is cold, completely close the engine choke. Grasp the starter rope, brace one foot on the pressure washer chassis andpull rope rapidly and firmly. Continueholdingthe rope asit returns. Pull and return the ropeuntil the engine Starts.In cool weather, the choke may haveto bekept closedfor

10 to 30 seconds before openingit to keep the engine running. Otherwise, open the choke as soon as the engine starts.

Ifthe engineis warm, leave the choke open, or just partly close it. Start the engine as described in the preceding paragraph. When it starts, be sure to open the choke completely.

CAUTION

On recoil start engines, never let the starter rope retum by itself. couldItjam the recoil system.

7.ALWAYS engage the gun’s trigger safety latch whenever you stop spraying, even foramoment, to reduce the risk offluid injection or splashing in the eyes or onthe skin if the gunis bumped or triggered accidentally.

8.ALWAYS observe the following CAUTIONS avoidto costly damage to the pressure washer.

DO NOT allow the pressure washer toidle for more than10 minutes. Doingso may cause the recirculating water to overheat and seriously damage’the pumpTum. off the pressure washer if it willnotbespraying or cleaning at least every 10minutes. If heated inlet wateris used, reduce this time further.

DO NOT run the pump dry, whichwill quickly damage the pump.Be sure the watersupply is fully turned on before starting the pump.

DO NOT operate the pressure washer with the inlet water screen removed. Tnis screenhelps keep abrasive sediment outof the pump, which could clog or scratch the pump. Keep this screen clean.

DO NOT pump caustic materials; such materials mav corrode theourno comoonents.
