OPERATION
GAS
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF, SG or SH rated SAE 30 weight.
Use no special additives. Select the oil's viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.
Although mutti-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve
starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosityoils will result
in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F.
Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possi-
ble damage from running low on oiloOil sump capacity is
20 ounces.
• Position pressure washer so engine is level.
. Clean area around oil fill plug and remove oil fill plug

TEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FIL-
TER, FUEL HOSE OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO,
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 SYS-
TEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE. TO AVOID
ENGINE PROBLEMS, THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE
EMPTIED BEFORE STORAGE OF 30 DAYS OR
LONGER. SEE "STORAGE" ON PAGE 17. NEVER USE
ENGINE OR CARBURETOR CLEANER PRODUCTS IN
THE FUEL TANK OR PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY OC-
CUR.
