Before Starting Machine; Starting Gasoline / Diesel Engine Machines - PowerWasher RN4000 Operator's Manual

2.0 Operating Instructions (cont.)
2.4
DO NOT OPERATE GASOLINE AND DIESEL ENGINES IN ENCLOSED AREAS! OPERATE
IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS ONLY!
1. Locate machine on a level plane.
2. Turn on water supply. There should be no nozzle in the extension at this point.
3. Pull gun trigger, allowing air in system to escape.
4. When water flows in a full steady stream, release gun trigger. (Fig. 2.3)
2.5
1. Check position of fuel valve, and if closed, open valve. For more detailed information on starting the
machine's engine, see engine instruction manual.
2. Choke: Close choke on carburetor by moving lever in proper direction. If engine is warm or air tempera-
ture is high, close choke valve half-way, or keep it open fully.
3. BE CERTAIN the gun trigger remains in an open position while starting the engine. Brace yourself as the
gun will kick-back from the high pressure created by the pump once the engine has started.
3. Machines with recoil start: Turn engine ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Pull the recoil starter grip
lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
Rapid retraction of starter coil (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you
can let go. Read and understand the engine manual to reduce the risk of injuries.
Machines without APR (Automatic Pressure Relief): If the engine fails to start after 1 or 2 pulls
of the recoil, pressure will build-up in the system. To relieve the pressure squeeze the gunvalve
trigger and allow water to flow freely. There should be NO nozzle or obstruction at the end of
the extension.
4. After engine starts, open choke gradually.
5. Let engine warm up to normal operating temperature.
