Add Engine Oil
1. Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap/dipstick.
NOTE: See Oil Recommendations in Maintenance section.
Verify provided oil bottle is the correct viscosity for current
ambient temperature.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of both
provided oil bottles into oil fill opening to the point of
overflowing.
NOTICE Improper treatment of pressure washer can
damage it and shorten its life.
• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an
engine failure.
4. Replace oil fill cap/dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure
in tank.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
1. Use clean, fresh, regular UNLEADED fuel with a
minimum of 86 octane with equipment. DO NOT mix oil
with fuel.
2. Place pressure washer on a level surface. Clean area
around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill. Allow about 1" of tank space for fuel
expansion, as shown here.
4. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!
Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, 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 avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
