BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
To operate the engine you wilt need the following:
ENGINE OIL
A 20 oz. bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the
parts carton. Remove the yellow oi! fill plug and insert a
clean fill funnel into plug opening. Fill engine crankcase
with recommended oil until oillevel is at point of overflow-
ing. Do not fill above the point of overflowing. POUR
SLOWLY.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG rated SAE 30 weight. Use
no special additives, Select the oil's viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.
colder < 32°F > warmer
B
B
5W30 SAE30
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 tow on oil. Oil sump capac-
ity is 20 ounces.
Place pressure washer on a level surface and remove
the yellow Oil Fill Cap and add engine oil from the
enclosed bottle until level is at point of overflowing,
Check engine oil level before starting each time there-
after.

GASOLINE
OIL FILL CAP
CAUTION: Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Never fill fuel tank when engine is running
or hot. Do not light a cigarette or smoke
when filling fuel tank.
Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the pressure
washer engine. Regular leaded gasoline may also be
used if UNLEADED is not available, Fuel tank capacity
is 1 U.S. gallon.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohef or using ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation and formation of acids dur-
ing storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems; the
fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days
or longer. See "STORAGE" on page 18. Never use
engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
o Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap;
• Add "UNLEADED" regulargasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
° Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
