Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it.

• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.

• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled when using chemicals. Read all instructions with the mask so you are certain the mask will provide the necessary protection.

• Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or damage the fuel tank causing a fire. Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5m) of clearance on all sides of the pressure washer, including overhead.

• Do not touch hot parts and avoid hot exhaust gases. Allow equipment to cool before touching.

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or serious injury.

WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL

• Turn pressure washer engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.

• Fill or drain the fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overfill the tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting the engine.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

Oil Recommendations

Use high-quality detergent oils classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range.

Above 40°F (4°C)	SAE 30
-20°F to 100°F (-30°C to 40°C)	Synthetic 5W30
0°F to 100°F (-18°C to 38°C)	10W30
40°F and below (4°C and below)	5W30

* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

Checking and Adding Oil

1. On a level surface, remove the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, replace and tighten it, then remove it again to check the level.

2. Verify the oil is at the FULL mark. If needed, slowly pour oil into the oil fill opening to the FULL mark. DO NOT overfill.

Changing Engine Oil

Change oil while the engine is still warm.

1. Drain the fuel tank by running the pressure washer until it is empty.

2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

3. Clean the area around the oil fill, then remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.

4. Tip the pressure washer to drain the oil from the oil fill into a suitable container.

5. Slowly pour recommended oil (about 20 oz.) into the oil fill opening to the Full mark.

6. Replace and tighten the dipstick, wipe up any remaining oil, and reconnect the spark plug wire.

Service Air Cleaner

1. Slide the air cleaner lever (A) to the unlock position and tilt the cover (B) down.

2. Carefully remove the air cleaner to prevent debris from falling into the carburetor.

3. Wash the foam air cleaner (C) in liquid detergent and water. Squeeze dry in a clean cloth.

4. SATURATE the foam air cleaner in engine oil and squeeze it in a clean cloth to remove excess oil.

5. Reinstall the clean or new foam air cleaner in the base (D).

6. Tilt the cover up and slide the lever to the lock position.

Service Spark Plug

1. Clean the area around the spark plug.

2. Remove and inspect the spark plug.

3. Replace the spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned or porcelain is cracked. Use the recommended replacement plug (see Specifications).

4. Check the electrode gap with a wire feeler gauge and reset it to the recommended gap if necessary (0.020 inch).

5. Install the spark plug and tighten firmly.

Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage. Remove the spark arrester, if equipped, and inspect for damage or carbon blockage. If replacement parts are required, use only original equipment replacement parts.

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods. Follow these procedures after every use:

1. Shut OFF (0) engine, turn off water supply, point the gun in a safe direction, press the red button and squeeze the trigger to relieve trapped pressure and let the engine cool.

2. Disconnect the hose from the spray gun and the high pressure outlet on the pump. Drain water from the hose, gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.

3. Empty the pump of all pumped liquids by pulling the recoil handle about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in the pump.

4. Coil the high pressure hose on the hose wrap provided on the accessory tray.

5. Store the unit in a clean, dry area.

6. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term Storage instructions.

You must protect your unit from freezing temperatures. Failure to do so will permanently damage your pump and render your unit inoperable. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.

1. Follow steps 1-4 in the “After Each Use” section.

2. Use pump saver to treat the pump. This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

3. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3-foot section of garden hose to the water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without alcohol) into the hose. Pull the recoil handle twice. Disconnect the 3-foot hose.

4. Store the unit in a clean, dry area.

Protect Fuel System

To keep fuel fresh, use a fuel stabilizer. There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system before storage. If gasoline has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

Change Oil

While the engine is still warm, drain oil from the crankcase. Refill with the recommended grade.

Protect Pump

To protect the pump from damage caused by mineral deposits or freezing, use PumpSaver to treat the pump. Make sure the pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from the supply water before use.

Other Storage Tips

• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated.

• Replace the fuel container if it starts to rust.

• Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot pressure washer. Let equipment cool sufficiently before placing the cover.

• Store the unit in a clean and dry area.
