OPERATION

ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT

See Figure 9.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
2 oz. of lubricant in the engine from testing. You must add
lubricant to the engine before starting it the first time.
CAUTION:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding lubricant
will result in engine failure.
To add engine lubricant:
 Place pressure washer on a flat, level surface. Do not tilt.
 Unscrew the oil cap / dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
 Using 4-stroke engine lubricant (SAE 30 or SAE 10W30),
add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises to the
hatched area on the dipstick (14 oz., 4-cycle engine
lubricant provided). Do not overfill.
 Replace the oil cap / dipstick and securely tighten.
NOTE: This engine has a total lubricant capacity of
17 oz.
To check engine lubricant level:
 Set pressure washer on a flat surface. Do not tilt.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick by turning counterclockwise.
 Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not
rethread.
 Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant
level should fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
 If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises
to the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause ex-
cessive smoke and engine damage.
