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.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

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 bottom of fuel level
limit in neck of fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill.
4. Install fuel cap and allow any spilled fuel to evaporate
before starting engine.
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 for additional
information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damage may occur.
