Add Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Any attempt to start the engine before it
has been properly serviced with the recommended oil
may result in an engine failure.
Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF,SG, SH or rated SAE 30 weight.
Select the oils viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature. Do Not Use SAE
10W40 Oil.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil.
 Place pressure washer on a level surface.
 Clean area around yellow oil fill and remove oil
fill cap (Figure 5). Do not use grey cap to add or
check oil.
 Pour oil into oil fill opening until the oil reaches
the point of overflowing. Stop occasionally to
check oil level. Do not overfill.
 Install oil fill cap, hand tighten securely.
Note: Check oil often during engine breakin.
