BEFORE OPERATION

NOTE: The engine and pump on your Coleman®
Powermate® Pressure Washer will often have improved
performance after a break-in period of several hours.

PRE-START PREPARATION

Before starting the pressure washer, check for loose or
missing parts and for any damage which may have occurred
during shipment.

HOSE AND GUN ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Align threaded connections carefully to
prevent damaging threads during assembly. Tighten
connections securely to prevent leaks during operation.
Attach the hose to the inlet of the trigger gun.
Handle Installation
Install handle and hose hook as shown in Figure 1.

LUBRICATION

DO NOT attempt to start the pressure washer engine
without filling the engine crank case with the proper amount
and type of oil. (See the accompanying engine manual for this
information.) Your pressure washer engine has been shipped
from the factory without oil in the engine crankcase.
Operating the unit without oil will ruin the engine.
The pump has been shipped with oil from the factory.
Before operating the pressure washer, check for oil leaks from
the pump.

FUEL

Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive
gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high
octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane).
Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury may result from
fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/2
inch below the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow
expansion in hot weather and prevent overflow.

NOTE: To install fuel cap, align slots in plastic strainer
with slots in fuel tank.
