   DO NOT overfill.

8. Reinsert the Dipstick without threading it in and remove it to check the oil level. The oil level should be upto the full level as shown above.

9. If the oil level is at or below the low mark, add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at the proper level. (The SAE Viscosity Grade Chart on page 16 in the “MAINTENANCE” section shows other viscosities to use in different average temperatures.)

10. Replace the dipstick and fully tighten.
    NOTICE Do not run the engine with too little oil. Engine will shut off if engine oil level is too low.

11. Adding Fuel
    WARNING Fuel and fuel vapor are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion from misuse of fuel can cause severe burns and even death. Failure to use fuel as recommended in this manual will void the warranty.
    Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before adding fuel.
    Do not smoke.
    NOTICE Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a metal fuel container or a dirty fuel container. It can cause particles to enter the carburetor, affecting engine performance and/or causing damage.

12. Move the Pressure Washer OUTSIDE and place on a flat and level surface.

13. Clean the Fuel Cap and the area around it.

14. Unscrew and remove the Fuel Cap.

15. Remove the Strainer and remove any dirt and debris.
    Then replace the Strainer.

16. If needed, fill the Fuel Tank to about 1 inch under the fill neck of the Fuel Tank with 87 octane or higher unleaded gasoline that has been treated with a fuel stabilizer additive. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s recommendations for use.

17. Then replace the Fuel Cap.

18. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess to evaporate before starting engine. To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.

Pressure Washer Operation

WARNING

Do not direct spray from the Pressure Washer at a person or an animal.
The water stream could cause serious injury.
Do not leave Pressure Washer in bypass mode for more than 2 minutes at a time. Water temperature inside the pressure pump will rise to a dangerous level resulting in damage to the internal components of the pump. Failure to follow this warning will void warranty.
DO NOT run the pressure pump without the water supply connected and turned on. Damage to the Pressure Washer resulting from failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when operating Pressure Washers. Spray can splash back or propel objects, including incorrectly attached accessories.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to possible amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when the motor is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.

CAUTION
Use the Pressure Washer only OUTSIDE in a fully VENTILATED area, place the Pressure Washer on surfaces able to withstand the force of the spray.

1. Selecting the Right Nozzle
   To prevent damage to your surface and to select an appropriate nozzle size for your application, always start with lowest pressure nozzle size (White) and continue to the higher noozel size until the best work result is achieved. The Pressure Washer comes furnished with three spray nozzles. Each nozzle is color coded and delivers a specific spary pattern and pressure for a particular cleaning job. The size of the nozzle determines the size of the fan spary and the pressure out of the nozzle.

   • 0° Nozzel – Red: This nozzle delivers a pinpoint stream of pressurized water and is extremely powerful. It covers only a small area of cleaning.
     This nozzle should only be directed at surfaces that can withstand high pressure such as metal or concrete. Do not use this nozzle to clean wood.

   • 15° Nozzle – Yellow: This nozzle delivers a 15 degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of small areas. It should only be used on areas that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.

   • 25° Nozzle – Green: This nozzle delivers a 25 degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of larger areas. It should only be used on areas that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.

   • 40° Nozzle – White: This nozzle delivers a 40 degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of larger areas. It should only be used on areas that can withstand pressure from this nozzle.

   • Chemical Nozzle – Black: This nozzle is used to apply special chemicals and cleaning solutions. This nozzle produces the weakest spressure stream of the three nozzles.

2. Nozzles To Spray Wand
   WARNING
   Never place hands in front of nozzle. Never grasp hose or fittings during Pressure Washer operation.
   Never attempt to attach or remove spray wand or hose fittings while Pressure Washer system is pressurized.

   Damaged hoses can burst and can cause injection injuries.

6. Firmly grip spray gun with both hands.

7. Start with a low pressure Nozzle, and gradually use higher pressures as needed. Test spray the edge of the surface to be cleaned first to make sure that the stream is not too strong for the surface. If the stream damages the surface, move further away from the surface being cleaned to reduce the pressure being applied to the surface. If the stream is still too strong, lock the Trigger in the safety position and change to a lower pressure Nozzle.

8. Point the nozzle to a safe direction and squeeze the spray gun trigger to allow the pump to purge air and impurities in the system and then redirect the nozzle to the working surface.

9. Clean vertical and sloped surfaces from the top down.

10. When cleaning horizontal surfaces, occasionally use the stream to clear the area of excess water.

  * For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
  * If you get spray nozzle too close, you may damage surface being cleaned.
  * DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.

4. Pressure Adjustment
   Increase distance: To vary the pressure on the surface being cleaned, vary the distance between spray wand and the surface being cleaned. Change pressure wand nozzle: Completely shut down Pressure
   Washer and stop gasoline engine. Change spray nozzle for desired pressure (see “Selecting The Right Nozzle”). Restart engine.

5. Using Chemicals And Cleaning Solvents
   NOTICE Use only soaps and chemicals designed for use with Pressure Washer. DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH.Chemicals, soaps and cleaning solvents will not siphon when a high pressure nozzle is used. Only use the Black (low pressure) Nozzle when spraying detergents. Fill Detergent Tank with prepared detergent solution and close the cap. The Pressure Washer will draw one gallon of detergent for every seven gallons of water.

6. To Rinse

7. Replace the nozzle with an appropriate high pressure nozzle (see “Selecting The Right Nozzle” on Page 13). Squeeze the trigger and wait for the detergent to clear.

8. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.

9. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, and then check the surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.

10. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.

11. Cleaning Tips
    WARNING
    Never use the Pressure Washer water inlet to siphon detergent or wax.
