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.
Fill 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 85 octane with equipment. DO NOT
use fuel which contains Methanol. DO NOT mix oil
with fuel.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Allow at least 1.5" 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
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" on
pages 21-22 for additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
Fresh Start
TM
Fuel Cap
Adding fuel preserver helps keep fuel fresh and
carburetors clean for easier starting, all season long.

fuel preserver into your fuel tank.
