PRE-START CHECK
WARNING! To prevent permanent damage to engine, you MUST check oil level, fuel
level and air cleaner filter before starting engine.
OIL LEVEL
WARNING! This pressure washer has been shipped from the factory without oil or
very little oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without the correct amount of oil
can damage the engine. Oil crankcase capacity: 0.6 litres. Always check the oil level
before starting the engine, make sure the pressure washer is on a level surface. To
check oil level:
1) Turn the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.6 counterclockwise, remove it and clean it with a
clean cloth.
2) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to check the oil level.
3) If the oil level is halfway up the dipstick or below, refill with SAE 10W-30 oil through the dipstick hole until the oil level reaches 3/4 up the
dipstick or until it reaches the bottom lip of the dipstick hole as shown in illustration below.
4) Reposition the oil gauge dipstick and tighten it by turning clockwise.
FUEL LEVEL
WARNING! Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank before operating.
1) If it is necessary to add fuel, first make sure the engine is OFF and preferably cool, then
open and remove the fuel cap (A) Fig.7 by turning it counterclockwise.
2) Make sure the fuel filter cup (B) is positioned inside the tank opening before refueling.
3) When refueling, keep in mind all safety precautions and make sure to add enough fuel
based on usage. Fill tank with gasoline until you notice the fuel level coming up through
the fuel filter cup, fill until it reaches approximately half way up the cup, be careful not
to spill gasoline or to overfill the tank. Use clean unleaded gasoline with a minimum of
87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fuel tank capacity: 3.6 Litres.
AIR CLEANER FILTER
WARNING! Never run the engine without the air cleaner filter installed. Rapid engine
wear will result.
The air cleaner filter (A) Fig.8 should be checked before every start-up and after
prolonged storage to make sure it is clean and in good condition. The following steps
should be done when checking the air cleaner filter:
1) Undo the lock knob (B) Fig.8 and remove the air cleaner cover (C).
2) Undo the butterfly nut (D), then remove the filter (A) from the air cleaner housing.
3) Wash filter in kerosene, squeeze kerosene out, soak filter in engine oil and squeeze
engine oil out.
4) Reposition filter in air cleaner housing, reinstall butterfly wing, air cleaner cover and secure cover with lock knob.
