ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and
property damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep
away from ignition sources, handle outdoors only,
do not smoke while adding fuel, and wipe up spills
immediately.
When adding gas to the pressure washer, make sure the unit
is sitting on a flat, level surface. If the engine is hot, let the
pressure washer cool before adding gas. ALWAYS fill the
fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned off.
NOTE: Use unleaded gas only. DO NOT mix oil with gas.
Turn the engine switch to OFF ( O ) position.
Before removing the fuel cap, clean the area around it.
Remove the fuel cap.
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank then slowly
pour gasoline into the tank. Fill tank to approximately
1/2 in. below the top of the tank neck (this allows for fuel
expansion).
Replace fuel cap and tighten securely.
Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
OXYGENATED FUELS
DO NOT USE E85 FUEL. IT WILL VOID YOUR WAR-
RANTY.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems re-
sulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more
than the percentages of oxygenates stated below are not
covered under warranty.
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) or 15% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E15) are acceptable. E85 is not.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 14 - 16.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pump without the water supply con-
nected and turned on. This will damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life.
OPERATION
Before starting the engine, connect all hoses and check all
fluids (oil and gas). Turn the garden hose on then squeeze
the trigger. This relieves air pressure caused by turning on
the water. Hold the trigger until a steady stream of water
appears.
NOTE: Make sure pump shipping plug has been removed
before starting the unit.
To start an engine that is cold or has run dry:
Fill the fuel tank (if necessary).
Connect the garden hose to the pump and turn on the
water supply.
Place the engine switch in the ON ( l ) position.
Give the recoil starter grip short, brisk pulls to start the
engine.
CAUTION:
If the engine does not start after each pull of the
starter grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve
water pressure before attempting to start the engine
again.
Return the recoil starter gently to the engine housing. Do
not allow the rope to snap back.
If the engine fails to start:
Turn the engine switch to OFF ( O ) position.
Pull the starter grip and rope 4 times.
Place the engine switch in the ON ( l ) position.
Pull the starter grip and rope to start the engine.
To stop the engine using the engine switch:
Turn the engine switch to OFF ( O ) position.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See Figure 17.
For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the
trigger handle at all times.
Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
Pull up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
Push the lock out down and into its original position.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
