ADDING OIL TO THE ENGINE
See Figure 8.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approxi-
mately 2 oz. of oil in the engine from testing. You must
add oil to the engine before starting it the first time.
This engine comes with an Oil Alert™ feature that will shut
off the engine when a specific oil level is not maintained.
The engine will not restart until an appropriate oil level is
reached.
1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
3. Using 4-stroke engine oil (10W30 ), fill to the up-
per level of the oil filter neck (4-cycle engine oil
provided).
