NOTE: This engine has a total lubricant capacity of 0.6l
(20 oz).
OXYGENATED FUELS
Do not use E85 fuel. It will void your warranty.
NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems
resulting 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) is acceptable. E85
is not.
ADDING GASOLINE TO THE FUEL TANK
See gure 10.
WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are highly ammable 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 petrol to the pressure washer, make sure
the unit is sitting on a at, level surface. If the engine is hot,
let the pressure washer cool before adding gas. Always ll
the fuel tank outdoors with the machine turned off.
NOTE: Use unleaded petrol only. Do not mix lubricant with
petrol.
■ 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 40mm
(1-1/2 in.) below the top of the tank neck (this allows
for fuel expansion).
■ Replace fuel cap and tighten until the cap “clicks”.
■ Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least
9m (30 ft.) from refuelling site before starting engine.
Do not smoke and stay away from open flames and
sparks! Failure to follow these instructions could result
in serious personal injury.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See gures 11 - 12.
CAUTION
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water
supply connected and turned on, as this may damage
the high pressure seals and decrease pump life.
Completely unwind the hose from its reel or coil and
make sure the hose is not being restricted by tires,
rocks, or any other objects that may lessen or prevent
water flow to the pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
■ Connect all hoses.
■ Check all fluids (lubricant and fuel).
■ Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger
to relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady
stream of water appears.
To start the engine:
■ Turn the fuel valve to the ON (horizontal) position.
■ Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
■ Push choke into the START position.
■ Grasp the starter grip with rope and pull slowly until
resistance is felt. Give the starter grip with rope a
short, brisk pull to start the engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip with rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter
grip with rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water
pressure before attempting to start the engine again.
■ Let engine run for several seconds, then gradually
slide the choke lever fully toward the RUN position.
To stop the engine:
■ Put the on/off switch in the OFF position.
■ Turn the fuel valve to the OFF (vertical) position.
■ Shut off the water supply and pull trigger to release
water pressure.
WARNING
Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands.
Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is
pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could
cause loss of control and injury to yourself and others.
