CONNECTING THE GARDEN HOSE TO THE

PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 9.

CAUTION:

Always observe all local regulations when connecting

hoses to the water main. Some areas have restrictions

against connecting directly to public drinking water sup-

ply to prevent the feedback of chemicals into the drinking

water supply. Direct connection through a receiver tank

or backflow preventer is usually permitted.

ASSEMBLY

The water supply must come from a water main. NEVER

use hot water or water from pools, lakes, etc. Before

connecting the garden hose to the pressure washer:

 Run water through the hose for 30 seconds to clean any

debris from the hose.

 Inspect the screen in the water intake.

 If the screen is damaged, do not use the machine until

the screen has been replaced.

 If the screen is dirty, clean it before connecting the garden

hose to the machine.

To connect the garden hose to the machine:

 Uncoil the garden hose.

NOTE: There must be a minimum of 10 feet of unre-

stricted hose between the pressure washer intake and

the hose faucet or shut off valve (such as a “Y” shut off

connector).

 With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the

end of the garden hose to the water intake. Tighten by

hand.

CAUTION:

Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-

ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the

high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely

unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the

hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other

objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the

pressure washer.

OPERATION

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 liters).

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) is 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.

PUMP LUBRICANT

The pressure washer pump has been filled with sufficient

lubricant at the factory. You do not need to check or add

lubricant to the pump.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE

WASHER
