NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately 2 oz. of oil in the engine from testing. You must add oil to the engine before starting it the first time.

CAUTION:

Any attempt to start the engine without adding oil will result in engine failure.

nPlace pressure washer on a flat, level surface.

nUnscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter- clockwise.

adding gasoline to THE FUEL tank

See Figure 11.

WARNING:

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.

When adding gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit is sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the pressure washer cool before adding gas. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned off.

NOTE: Use unleaded gas only. Do not mix oil with gas.

nTurn the engine switch to off ( O ) position.

nClose the fuel valve.

nBefore removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it. Remove the fuel cap.

nInsert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly pour gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately 1/2 in. below the top of the tank neck (this allows for fuel expansion).

nReplace fuel cap and tighten securely.

nClean up any spills before starting the engine.
