information
When a new machine is first operated, in the first few
minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But,
since this is excessive grease, there is no cause of
alarm. Just wipe it off with the engine stopped for next
use
During operation
WARNING
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe
injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away
from all moving parts. Always stop engine, disconnect
spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before removing obstructions,
clearing debris, or servicing unit.
To reduce the risk of fire resulting in
serious or fatal injury or property
damage, never spray flammable or
combustible liquids.
To reduce the risk of explosion
resulting in serious or fatal injury or
property damage, never spray
flammable or combustible liquids.
To reduce the risk of short
circuiting, fire and electrocution,
never direct the spray at electrical
appliances and equipment, sockets
or power cords.
Keep hands and feet and other
parts of your body away from the
water jet at all times. Severe
laceration and fluid injection could
result from contact with the water
jet. Because of the high pressure
and spray velocity, fluids can
penetrate the skin and cause fluid
injection and/or severe cutting
injury. If an accident does occur and
the spray appears to have
penetrated the skin, seek
emergency medical care. Do not
treat as a simple cut.
Risk of Explosion.
Do not spray flammable liquids.
Flammable liquids, fuel, and their
vapors are explosive and can cause
severe burns or death.
Risk of kickback.

engine stop switch backward to
STOP position, and engage the
trigger locking latch.
•
Always hold the spray attachment firmly with both
hands in order to control the reactive forces, including
any additional torque produced when using angled
spray attachments or an angled spray wand. The
spray jet causes reactive forces on the spray
attachment in a direction opposite to the direction of
the spray (recoil or kickback).
•
Never direct the high pressure jet toward yourself or
other persons, not even to clean clothing or shoes.
Do not direct the high pressure jet toward animals.

engine, on a level surface.
Fuel
WARNING
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing
any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool down before refueling the
machine. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and
move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fuming point
before starting the engine.
The recommended fuel type is regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an
ethanol content of less than 10% by volume, fuel tank
capacity is 3.8L.
This is a 4-cycle engine and does not require a gas/oil
mixture. There is a separate reservoir for gas and a
separate reservoir for oil.
NOTICE
Do not use mixed oil with gasoline for this machine
•
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental
engine parameters and components (for example,
carburetion, ignition timing and port timing) without
addition of any major hardware or the introduction of
an inert material during combustion.
•
If you use a gasoline of a Iower octane value than
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine
temperature may rise and an engine problem such as
piston seizing may consequently occur.
•
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health
and the environment.
•
Poor quality gasoline or oil may damage sealing rings,
fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.

|-17-
•
Take care when handling gasoline. Avoid direct
contact with the skin and avoid inhaling fuel vapor.
Fueling
1. Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area
around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the fuel
tank.
2. Turn the fuel cap by turning it counterclockwise,
loose a bit of the fuel cap carefully so as to allow
any pressure build-up in the fuel tank to release
slowly. Never remove the fuel cap when engine is
running!
3. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol
content of less than 10% by volume.
4. Slowly add fuel to the tank. Do not overfill. Fuel can
be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if
it is overfilled, and can affect the stable running
condition of the machine. When filling the tank, it is
recommended to leave enough space for the fuel to
expand. A minimum of 13mm (0.5inch) of space
below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space
for expansion.
5. Tighten the fuel cap clockwise securely after
fuelling.
6. Wipe away any spilled fuel.
Detergent
NOTICE
This pressure washer is intended for use with special
pressure washer detergents only. Follow the detergent
manufacturer’s directions, only use recommended
detergents for pressure washers. Using detergents not
specifically recommended for use with pressure
washers can cause damage to pump and other
pressure washer components. Damage caused to
pressure washer by using non-recommended detergent
is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE
Do not use powdered soaps which clog the injection
system.
NOTICE
Working with a detergent ensures quick soaking of the
dirt, and allows the high-pressure water to penetrate
and remove the dirt more effectively. Always spray
detergent on a dry surface, do not presoak the area.
Soaking the surface dilutes the detergent and reduces
its cleaning ability.
Some cleaning jobs can be completed by using only
water, but for most, it is advantageous to use a
detergent to penetrate and remove the dirt more
effectively. When using pressure washer approved
detergent, make sure the surface is clean and dry.
Wetting the surface first is not recommended; it will
dilute the detergent and will reduce the cleaning
effectiveness.
Add detergent
1. If need, add the detergent to a separate container
and dilute it with water at the ratio specified by the
detergent manufacturer. Do not dilute it in the
pressure washer detergent tank.
2. Turn the detergent tank cap counterclockwise to
open the cap.
3. Add detergent into the tank. Do not overfill. If
necessary, a funnel is recommended to use here.
This pressure washer is intended for use with
pressure washer detergents only.
Detergent
4. Turn the detergent tank cap clockwise to tighten the
detergent cap securely.
5. Wipe away any spilled detergent.
NOTICE
When finished with detergent, squeeze spray trigger
and continue cleaning with clean cold water, this can
help flush some detergent residue in the machine and
accessories.

|-18-
Cleaning with detergents
•
When using detergent, always use the black
detergent nozzle.
•
When applying detergents, always operate the
machine at a low water pressure. This provides a
gentle application of the detergent, with the water
pressure equivalent to a garden hose. Always test the
detergent in a concealed area before use.
•
The liquid detergent will be mixed with water
automatically, and discharged through the detergent
nozzle at a low pressure.
•
Avoid to spray water onto the cleaning surface when
it is hot surfaces or under direct sunlight, this will
minimize the chances of the detergent damaging the
painted surface.
•
Do not let the detergent dry or it may damage the
painted surface. Allow the detergent to remain on the
surface for a short time before rinsing with clean
water under high pressure.
