with the hose reel kit that is not used on this model.
IMPORTANT: You must take the hose off the reel
when operating your pressure washer. The reel is for
hose storage purposes only.
Add Engine Oil
CAUTION! Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil may result in an engine failure.
1. Place pressure washer on a level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
NOTE: See the section "Oil" on page 19 to review oil
recommendations. Verify provided oil bottle is correct
viscosity for current ambient temperature.
3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour entire contents
of provided oil bottle (18 oz.) into oil fill opening.
4. Replace oil dipstick and fully tighten.
Add Fuel
All fuel is not the same. If a starting or performance
problem is encountered immediately after new fuel has
been used, try another service station or change
brands.
NOTE: This gasoline engine is certified to operate on
gasoline. Exhaust Emissions Control System: EM
(Engine Modifications).
WARNING
WHEN ADDING FUEL
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it coot at least 2
minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to
relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• Wait for spilled fuel to evaporate before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignitionsources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
Type of Fuel
1. Always use clean, fresh, UNLEADED gasoline
with a minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).
DO NOT mix oil with fuel. DO NOT modify the
engine fuel system or carburetor to run on
alternative fuels.
NOTE: Fuel with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), is acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Use of any fuel other than those
approved above will void warranty. Some areas
require that fuel pumps be marked if the fuel contains
alcohols or ethers. If you are not sure if your fuel
contains alcohol or ethers that are different than those
approved above, then check with the service station
operator.
2. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
3. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be
careful not to overfill. Allow about 1.5" of tank
space for fuel expansion, as shown here.
4. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to
evaporate.
CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine performance issues, the fuel system
should be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer. To protect the fuel
system from gum formation, use Briggs & Stratton
FRESH START TM fuel stabilizer plus, or FRESH
START TM continuous fuel preserver (concentrated
liquid cartridge), or FRESH START TM preservative &
stabilizer (granular). If fuel preserver is not used, drain
the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. See "Storage" on pages 21-22 for
additional information.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank as permanent damage may occur.
