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, SG, SH, SJ or higher rated SAE 30
weight. DO NOT use special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the table below:
._ -2o o 2,0 3_ 4,0 i0 _o _oo
oc -_o -_o -_b o (o 2'o 3b do
STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTiCiPATED BEFORE NEXT OiL CHANGE
* The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) wilt result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-
viscosity oil, check oil more frequently.
** If using SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F
(4°C), it wilt result in hard starting and possible
engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
2. Place pressure washer on a level surface.
3. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
5. Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
Add Gasoline
A
WARNING! NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. Allow unit to cool for two minutes before
refueling. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke
when filling the fuel tank.
,_ WARNING! NEVER fill fuel tank completely
full. Provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe
away any fuel spillage from engine and
equipment before starting.
1. Use fresh, clean unleaded automotive gasoline
and store in approved, clean, covered containers.
Use clean fill funnels. NEVER use "stale" gasoline
left over from last season or gasoline stored for
long periods.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add gasoline to fuel tank. Use a funnel to
prevent spillage. Fill tank to about 1.5" below top
of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion.

4. Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that 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
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
"Storage" on page 16. NEVER use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
