Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF, or SG rated SAE 10W-30 weight.
Other viscosity oils shown in the chart may be used
when the average temperature in your area is within
the recommended range.
• Place pressure washer on a level surface.
• Clean area around oil fill, remove oil dipstick and
wipe it clean.
• Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it
into the filler neck.
• Slowly pour oil into oil fill opening until oil reaches
"UPPER LIMIT" mark on the dipstick. Stop
occasionally to check oil level.
• If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark
on the dipstick, fill with the recommended oil to the
upper limit mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.
• Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
NOTE: Check oil often during engine break–in.
