OPERATION
Adding Gasoline to the Fuel Tank
See Figure 10.
Risk of fire and serious burns: Never remove fuel cap
when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly.
WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and prop-
erty damage, handle gasoline with care. Keep away from
ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke
while adding fuel, and wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel to a machine with a running or hot
engine. Make sure the unit is sitting on a flat, level sur-
face and only add fuel outdoors. If the engine is hot, let
the unit cool for at least five minutes before adding fuel.
After fueling, immediately replace fuel cap and tighten
securely. Move at least 30 ft. (9 m) from refueling site
before starting engine. Do not smoke and stay away
from open flames and sparks! Failure to follow these
instructions could result in a fire and cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank, or line is a
fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. If you find
any leaks, correct the problem before using the product.
Failure to do so could result in a fire that could cause
serious personal injury.
NOTE: This is a 4-cycle engine. DO NOT mix fuel and
lubricant together.
 Move the fuel valve to the closed position.
 Mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline according to fuel stabilizer
manufacturer's directions.
 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 1-1/2 in.
(3.81 cm) below the top of the tank neck (this allows for
fuel expansion).
 Replace fuel cap and tighten securely.
 Clean up any spills before starting the engine.
DANGER
Starting and Stopping the Pressure Washer
See Figures 11 - 14.
Do not run the pressure washer 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 first time use:
 Remove caution label and black plug from the red cap
on pump.
Before starting the engine:
 Connect all hoses.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to re-
lieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the engine:
 Move the fuel valve to the OPEN position.
 Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
 Move the choke to the START position.
NOTE: If restarting after a brief stop (i.e., after refueling
or moving), leave the choke lever in the RUN position.
 Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance is
felt. Give the starter grip a short, brisk pull to start the
engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip and rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter
grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water pres-
sure before attempting to start the engine again.
 Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke to the RUN position.
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
engine during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or engine seals, stop using the pres-
sure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
an authorized service center for repair. Failure to do so
may cause property damage.
