ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 10.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
2 oz. of lubricant in the engine from testing. You must add
lubricant to the engine before starting it the first time.
CAUTION:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding lubricant
will result in engine failure.
To add engine lubricant:
Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
Using 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30),
add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises to the
hatched area on the dipstick (18 oz., 4-cycle engine
lubricant provided). Do not overfill.).
Replace the oil cap / dipstick and securely tighten.
NOTE: This engine has a total lubricant capacity of
20.3 oz. (0.6 qt.) .
To check engine lubricant level:
Set pressure washer on a flat surface.
Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not
rethread.
Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant
level should fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level
rises to the upper portion of the hatched area on the
dipstick.
Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause ex-
cessive smoke and engine damage.
OXYGENATED FUELS
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL. IT WILL VOID YOUR WAR-
RANTY.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems re-
sulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more
than the percentages of oxygenates stated below are not
covered under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) or 15% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E15) are acceptable. E85 is not.
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 prop-
erty 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 lubricant with
gas.
Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap.
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly
pour gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately
1-1/2 in. below the top of the tank neck (this allows for
fuel expansion).
Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap “clicks”.
Clean up any spills before starting the engine.

flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
CLEANING/REPLACING THE AIR FILTER
See Figure 21.
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of perfor-
mance, and shorten the life span of the engine. Check the
air filter monthly. For best performance, replace the air filter
at least once a year.
The filter cover pivots up and lifts off.
Using a damp cloth, wipe the air filter cover and inner
surface. Take care not to allow dust to enter the carbure-
tor.
Clean the foam filter by soaking it in clean engine oil until
saturated. Squeeze out excess oil to prevent the engine
from smoking when started.
Reinstall the foam filter.
Reinstall the filter cover.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
compartment. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 22.
Shut off the engine.
Clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick, then remove
the oil fill cap/dipstick.
To drain lubricant from the oil drain plug:
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the engine.
To drain the lubricant, remove the drain plug from the
bottom of the engine. Drain lubricant into approved con-
tainer.
NOTE: Remove the dipstick to allow lubricant to drain
easier and more quickly.
Fill with lubricant following the instructions in Adding/
Checking Engine Lubricant earlier in this manual.
Before using the pressure washer, check to ensure that
no lubricant is leaking from the engine.
NOTE: Used lubricant should be disposed of at an ap-
proved disposal site. See your local oil retailer for more
information.
CHECKING SPARK PLUG
See Figure 23.
Clean the area around the base of the spark plug before
removing to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Re-
move spark plug.
Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug electrode
using a plug cleaner or wire brush. Replace the plug if
worn or reuse is questionable. (Recommended spark
plug: Champion RC12YC).
Check electrode gap. The gap should be 0.7 - 0.8 mm
in. Adjust the gap, if necessary, by carefully bending the
ground electrode.
Check the condition of the spark plug gasket.
Reinstall spark plug. Start the spark plug in its threads
by hand and finger-tighten.
Tighten with wrench to compress washer. If spark plug
is new, use 1/2 turn to compress washer appropriate
amount. If reusing old spark plug, use 1/8 to 1/4 turn for
proper washer compression.
NOTE: An improperly tightened spark plug will become
very hot and could damage the engine.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump. If you notice
any leaking of lubricant around the pump seals, take the
pressure washer to an authorized service center for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts to the pressure washer
pump. Any attempt to service or alter the pump may damage
the pressure washer and void your product warranty.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 24.
Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the
weather can’t damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Always
empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the detergent
bucket before storing.
NOTE: Use of a fuel stabilizer and pump saver will give you
better performance and increase the life of the machine.
Discharge Fuel:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored gas can go stale in
30 days.
Page 14 — English
Engine Lubricant:
Drain the lubricant and replace with fresh, clean lubricant.
Spark Plug:
Disconnect spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.
Pour about a teaspoon of clean, air-cooled, four-cycle
lubricant through the spark plug hole into the combustion
chamber.
Leaving the spark plug out, pull the starter cord two or
three times to coat the inside of the cylinder wall.
Inspect the spark plug and clean or replace, as neces-
sary.
Reinstall the spark plug, but leave the spark plug wire
disconnected.

Clean the air filter.
Recoil Starter Rope:
Extend the recoil starter rope to check its condition. If
the rope is frayed, have it replaced immediately by an
authorized service center.
Hoses and Pump:
Flush the injection hose with clean water for 1-2 minutes.
Remove all hoses. Empty the pump by pulling on the recoil
starter about 6 times. This should remove most of the liquid
from the pump.
For winterizing and long-term storage:
Disconnect the water connection, if necessary.
Start the pressure washer and allow it to run for a few
seconds to eliminate any water remaining in the pump.
Coil the hoses and place in the hook-and loop strap on the
unit’s handle. Do not allow the hose to become kinked.
Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace
or other sources of heat that could dry out the pump
seals.
CAUTION:
The use of a pump protector is recommended to prevent
cold weather damage during storage over the winter
months.
PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE
Pull the recoil starter grip three or four times to clean
lubricant from the combustion chamber.
