PREPARING THE PRESSURE

WASHER FOR USE

If you have any problems with the assembly of your

pressure washer or if parts are missing or damaged,

call the Pressure Washer Helpline at 1-800-2 0-1408.

To prepare your pressure washer for operation you

will need to perform these tasks:

 Remove shipping cap on top of pump.

 Attach the handle and attach the wire form that

holds the high pressure hose and spray gun.

 Connect the high pressure hose to the spray gun

and the pump and connect water supply to the

pump.

 Add oil to engine crankcase.

 Add fuel to fuel tank.

Remove Shipping Cap

To prevent oil from leaking from the pump, a shipping

cap has been installed on the oil breather of the

pump.

You must remove the cap for your pressure washer to

operate properly (Figure 1).

Running unit with the shipping cap installed will

damage the pump and void your warranty.

Attach the Handle

 Place the handle onto the handle supports

already connected to the main unit. Make sure

the holes in the handle align with the holes on

the handle supports. (Figure 2)

Figure 1  Remove shipping cap on top of pump.

Add Engine Oil

IMPORTANT: Any attempt to start the engine before it

has been properly serviced with the recommended oil

may result in an engine failure.

Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use

only high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SF,SG, SH or rated SAE 30 weight.

Select the oils viscosity grade according to your

expected operating temperature. Do Not Use SAE

10W40 Oil.

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 low

on oil.

 Place pressure washer on a level surface.

 Clean area around yellow oil fill and remove oil

fill cap (Figure 5). Do not use grey cap to add or

check oil.

 Pour oil into oil fill opening until the oil reaches

the point of overflowing. Stop occasionally to

check oil level. Do not overfill.

 Install oil fill cap, hand tighten securely.

Note: Check oil often during engine breakin.

Add Gasoline

DANGER! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do

not smoke when filling fuel tank.

WARNING! Never fill fuel tank completely

full. Fill tank to about 1/2" below the bottom of

the filler neck to provide space for fuel

expansion. Wipe away any fuel spillage from

engine and equipment before starting.

DANGER! Allow engine to cool 2 minutes

before refueling.

The manufacturer recommends fresh, clean unleaded

automotive gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane.

 Use clean fuel and store in approved, clean,

covered containers. Use clean fill funnels. Never

use stale gasoline left over from last season or

gasoline stored for long periods (over 30 days).

 Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

(Figure 6).

 Add UNLEADED regular gasoline, slowly, to

fuel tank. Use a funnel to prevent spillage.

 Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

Note: Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated

gasolines, are gasoline blended with alcohols or

ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends can

damage the fuel system or cause performance

problems. If any undesirable operating systems

occur, use gasoline with a lower percentage of

alcohol or ether.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

IMPORTANT: You must assemble the nozzle

extension and attach all hoses before you start the

HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE

WASHER

If you have any problems operating your pressure

washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at

1-800-2 0-1408.

How to Start Your Engine

The best way to start your engine-powered pressure

washer for the first time is to follow these instructions

step-by-step.

 This pressure washer requires a water source

that flows at least 3.2 gallons per minute. Do not

attempt to siphon water from a non-

pressurized container. Place the pressure

washer close enough to an outside water source

so that no more than 50' of garden hose is

needed.

 Check that the high pressure hose is tightly

connected to the spray gun and to the pump.

See ASSEMBLY section for illustrations.

 Connect the garden hose to water inlet on the

pressure washer pump and turn the water on

all the way.

IMPORTANT: Do not run pump without the water

supply connected and turned on. You must follow this

caution or the pump will be damaged.

 Set choke lever to Choke position. Note: This

is a multi-position choke.

 Move the throttle control lever to the Fast

position.

Note: For a warm engine, be sure the throttle control

is in the Fast position and the choke lever is in the

Run position.

 Turn the fuel shut off valve to the On position.

 Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to relieve

air pressure caused by turning ON the water.

Water will spew out the gun in a thin stream.

Continue to hold trigger until you have a steady

stream of water and no air remains.This will

make it easier to pull start the engine. Release

the trigger.

 Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger

(Figure 11).

 Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until you feel

some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to

overcome compression, prevent kickback and

start the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly.

Note: Always keep the throttle control in the Fast

position when operating the pressure washer.

 When the engine starts, gradually move the

choke control from one position to the next until it

is in the Run position.

If after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, disengage the

spray gun safety latch, squeeze the trigger to relive

water pressure, re-engage the spray gun safety latch,

move the choke control to the Run position and pull

the recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3 pulls).

How to Stop Your Pressure Washer

Important: Do Not move the choke control to

Choke position to stop the engine. Backfire or

engine damage may occur.

 Move the throttle control to the Idle or Slow

position.

 Wait for the engine to idle down.

 Move the throttle control to the Off position.

 Close the fuel shut off valve.

Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve

pressure in the hose. Simply shutting off the

engine will not release pressure in the system.

Note: A small amount of water will squirt out when

you release the pressure.
