Rinsing W'dh the Pressure Washer
&WARNING: Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray could force you to fall, or if
you are too close to the cleaning surface, high
pressure could force you off a climbing
appamtus.
• Hook up the water supply and start your pressure
washer (see TO START YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER on page 8).
• Pull adjustable nozzle backward for high pressure
mode. Wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not
flow when in the high pressure mode.
• When detergent has cleared, you may want to
expand the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing
action. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working
down with same action as for cleaning.
,_ CAUTION: Test a small area of the surface to be cleaned. Make sure there is no damage
caused by the high pressure spray.

Add Engine Oil
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG. Select the oil's SAE
viscosity grade according to your expected operating
temperature:
colder _ 32°F _ warmer
5W30 SAE 30
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these muifi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F, Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from runninglow
on oil.
Place pressure washer on a level surface
• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
Wipe dipstick clean.
Pour oil from enclosed bottle into the oil fill opening
until oil reaches full mark on the dipstick. Stop and
check the oil level periodically. Do not overfill.
Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
Add Gasoline
• Use regular unleaded gasoline with the pressure
washer e.ngine. Fuel tank capacity is 1.5 U.S. quart.
,_ DANGER: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not
smoke when filling fuel tank.
,i_ CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room for expansion.
,_ CAUTION: Experience indicates that alcohol
• blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage.
To add fuel to engine:
• Clean area around fuel cap, remove cap.
• Add regular unleaded gasoline, slowly, to the fuel
tank.
Important: Never mix oil with gasoline.
• Install fuel cap e.nd wipe up any spilled gasoline.
