to add engine oil, refer to pages 8 and 14 for complete
details and images. Failure to do this may result in
damage to the engine, pressure washer and/or injury to

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before attempting to operate this pressure washer the
following basic safety precautions should be taken to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
It is important to read the instruction manual and to
understand applications, limitations and potential hazards
associated with this pressure washer. It is important that
you read, understand and follow these instructions very
carefully. They are designed for the safety of yourself
and others ensuring a long and trouble free service life
from your pressure washer. This pressure washer is not
intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
NEVER use your pressure washer indoors. Your pressure
washer produces deadly carbon monoxide and this is
harmful and can caused death. Only use your pressure
washer in well ventilated areas like the outdoors. Do not
expose your pressure washer to rain or use in damp or
wet locations. Do not expose your pressure washer to
direct sunlight. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use
your pressure washer in areas where there is a risk of
explosion or fire from combustible materials, flammable
liquids, paint, varnish, petrol, etc flammable gases
and dust of an explosive nature. As a precaution it is
recommended that you consult an expert on selecting
and using a suitable fire extinguisher and have it available
for use in an emergency when operating the pressure
washer.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN & PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the operating
area. Children should not be allowed to touch or operate
pressure washers or touch extension cords. All pressure
washers should be kept out of reach of children. When
NOT in use keep the pressure washer preferably stored
or locked in a secure well ventilated cabinet or room with
the fuel tank empty.
SELECT A PRESSURE WASHER WITH
A SUFFICIENT RATING
Select the right pressure washer for the job. Do not use a
pressure washer to do a job for which it was not designed.
Do not force a small pressure washer to do the job of
a heavy duty pressure washer Any damage caused by
overloading will void the warranty. Do not use pressure
washers for purposes not intended.
FUEL - UNLEADED 91 PETROL - NO ETHANOL
Fuel used in this pressure washer is poisonous. Always
wear approved breathing protection when decanting
fuel. If you get any fuel on your skin or clothes wash
the affected area immediately with soap and water and
change your clothes. If you get fuel in your eyes wash
immediately with clean water and seek medical attention.
If any fuel is swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, seek
immediate medical attention.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot during use.
Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as
these may burn. In particular ensure that the high
pressure hose does not touch the hot muffler, either
during use or when storing. The hot muffler will damage
the high pressure hose and this will not be covered under
warranty.
MAINTAIN YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
WITH CARE
When not using your pressure washer ensure the fuel
choke is ‘OFF’. Never leave the fuel choke ‘ON’ as this
can damage the carburettor. Follow the instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles
clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Ensure that
ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at all
times. Blocked ventilation slots can cause overheating
and damage to the motor. Ensure that the air and fuel
filters are kept clean at all times.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
Always contact your fire authority before using the
pressure washer on fire restricted days. It is not
recommended to use your pressure washer when a total
fire ban is in force. Never refuel your pressure washer
while it is still running. As a precaution it is recommended
that an expert is consulted on obtaining and using a
suitable fire extinguisher.
STOP PRESSURE WASHER
Ensure that the pressure washer has stopped and is
turned off when not in use, before servicing, lubricating,
making adjustments or when changing any accessories.
5
CLEANING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
Always stop your pressure washer before you commence
cleaning. Always ensure that your pressure washer has
cooled, about one (1) hour, before cleaning and storing.
When cleaning your pressure washer use only a damp
soft cloth. NEVER use liquid or solvents of any type. All
areas can be wiped down, once cooled.
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage may occur if nozzle is used too close to
appliance being cleaned. Always trial test the pressure
washer on an inconspicuous part of the appliance.
Beware poor paint and rust as the water will lift poor
paint and cause rust spots to grow. Damage caused by
pressure washer is not covered by warranty.
WORK AREA
Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered
benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors
should be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care
should be taken when the floor is slippery due to water
and detergent. Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5
metres between the pressure washer and bystanders. As
this pressure washer uses a petrol engine, only run the
pressure washer outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of always checking to see that any
adjusting keys or wrenches have been removed from the
pressure washer before operating.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the pressure washer it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them
replaced or repaired at an authorised service facility.
Check any other condition that may affect the operation
of the pressure washer. A guard or any other part of the
pressure washer that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
