Fresh Start® Fuel Cap
The Fresh Start® fuel cap (A) is designed to hold a
cartridge (B) which contains fuel preserver. Adding fuel
preserver helps keep fuel fresh and carburetors clean
for easier starting all season long. The Fresh Start®
fuel cap, if equipped with a cartridge, automatically
drips concentrated fuel preserver into your fuel tank so
you don’t have to add it yourself.
NOTICE Purchase a Fresh Start® fuel preserver
cartridge at your local Sears or by calling
1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663) or online at www.
sears.ca. It is not included with the pressure washer.
Read and follow all instructions and warnings given in
the Fresh Start® fuel preserver cartridge package.
Lubricate O-Rings
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for
installation and operation. The use of a lubricant
(petroleum or synthetic grease) during assembly helps
seat o-rings properly and provides an improved seal. It
also helps protect the o-ring from damage by abrasion,
pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant
on o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the
pump (C), high pressure hose (D), spray gun (E), and
nozzle extension (F).
Lubricate all connections shown below, following
these instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to
lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light
