ADD ENGINE OIL
The pressure washer is shipped without
oil. User must add the proper amount of
oil before operating the pressure washer
for the first time. The oil capacity of the
engine crankcase is 14.3 fl. oz. For general
use (above 40° F), we recommend 30W,
4-stroke engine oil.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Select good quality detergent oil bearing the American Petroleum Institute (API) service
classifications SJ, SL, or SM. (Synthetic oils may be used.) Use the SAE viscosity grade of oil from
the above chart that matches the starting temperature anticipated before the next oil change.
TO ADD OIL, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: (FIG. 6A & 6B)
1. Make sure the pressure washer is on a level surface.
Tilting the pressure washer to assist in filling will cause
oil to flow into the wrong areas of the engine and will
cause damage. Keep pressure washer level!
2. Remove the dipstick from the engine.
3. Add oil slowly to bring level to full. Make sure oil
comes approximately halfway up the crankcase threads
to ensure enough oil has been added.
4. To check the oil level: wipe the dipstick with a clean
rag. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill opening without
screwing it in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.
(Fig. 6B)
5. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 4 until the oil
mark reaches to the top of the dipstick. Do not over fill
the crankcase.
6. Check for oil leaks. Tighten dipstick firmly.
