used when the average temperature in your area is
within the recommended range.

clean area around oil dipstick.

Add Fuel
WARNING
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.
Fil! or drain fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
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 wipe up any spilled fuel.
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
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. 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" on pages 19-20 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
