Pressure Washer
Definition of Pressure Washer: A machine that cleans dirty surfaces with high pressure water. This
pressure washer produces cold water high pressure spray. Cleaning chemicals may be incorporated into
the spray if desired on models equipped for "chemical induction through the pump". The pressure pump
for this equipment is powered by a gasoline internal combustion engine.

possible death if inhaled.
. lnjection lnjury: High-pressure spray can pierce skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.
Such an injection inlury can result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue damage.
. Flying Debris: High-pressure spray can cause flying debris and possible surface damage.
. Electric shock: Operaling equipment in wet conditions or near water can cause electric shock.
. Chemical Exposure: Cleaning chemical vapors or contact with skin may be hazardous.
r Fire/Explosion: Engine sparking can ignite fuel or other llammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity. Hot exhaust from engine can ignite
combustible malerials.

Safety lnstructions
AWARNING!
wRapid recoil of starter cord (kickback) may pull hand and arm forward
toward engine at a rapid rate.
Broken bones, bruises, sprains, and fractures may result.
aWhen starting engine, pull cord slowly until tension is felt, then pull rapidly to avoid
kickback.
WARNING!
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
o Turn pressure washer off and I et it cool for at least three minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly in order
to relieve pressure in the fuel tank.
r Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors. Do not excessively inhale fuel vapors.
. Keep away from open flames or sparks and other sources of ignition.
r Do NOT smoke while filling fuel tank.
o Do NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
. Transport pressure washer with the fuel valve in the off position.
o Repair pressure washer with the fuel tank empty or the fuel valve in the off position.
o Disconnect spark plug wire before transport or service.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT CONTAINING FUEL
r Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they can ignite fuel vapors. .
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
r Ensure spark plug, muffler, air cleaner, and fuel cap are in place.
o Do NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
o Iffuels spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
. Do NOT choke carburetor to stop engine.
o Do NOT tip engine or equipment at an angle, which causes fuel to spill.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable andexplosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns ordeath.

Safety lnstructions
AWARNING!
Do NOT touch hot surfaces and do avoid exhaust gases.
Allow pressure washer to cool before touching,
Keep at least 7 ft. [183cm) clearance on all sides ofpressure washer including overhead clear.
Reflective exhaust heat may damage fuel tank causing fire.
Code of Federal Regulation(CFRJ Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to
have a spark arrester, maintained in working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1c or Iater revision. In the state of
California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code.

Pre.Operating lnstructions: Engine Oil Level Check
L,rourro*,
a
a
Running engine with insufficient engine oil can cause severe damage to the
engine.
The engine performance and service life is directly dependent of the
quality of the engine oil. Do NOT use contaminated engine oil or
vegetable oil.
Check engine oil level onlywith engine stalled and with unit on level
ground.
Use 4-Stroke Gasoline Engine Oil equivalent in quality with SF, SG from
API.
a
a
0il velocity varies with average environmental
temperature. Select engine oil with proper velocity
using the chart to the right in accordance with you
regional environmental temperature.
Engine Oil AlarmSystem
The engine oil alarm system aides in avoiding engine damage
due to i-p.op"r amounts of engine oil in the crankcase. Befotre
the engine oil level in the crankcase drops below the safety line,
the engine oil alarm system will automatically stall the enging
(while the engine switch remains in the "0N" position).
If the engine stops and will not restart:
l. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert the dipstick into engine oil filler hole without
screwing it in - '
3. Remove dipstick and check engine oil amount.
4. If engine oil is below required amount, fill specified
engine oil up to the top of filler hole. Use engine oil
depended on environmental temperature.
5. Reinstall the engine oil dipstick.

Pre'Operating Instructions: Engine Fuel Level Check
fcnurrou'
. Gasoline is extremely flammable. Keep away from ignition sources,
. Fuel unit only in well-ventilated areas with the engine stalled.
o Do NOT smoke near unit.
r Do NOT spill fuel out of the fuel tank. Spilled gasoline and gasoline vapor
may ignite. If gasoline is spilled, wipe completely dry before starting the
engine.
e Avoid repeated or sustained breathing of gasoline fumes.
. Avoid skin contactwith gasoline.
r Keep out ofreach ofchildren and pets'
r Do NOT use contaminated gasoline. Keep dirt, dust, and water out of fuel tank.
r After fueling is complete, ensure fuel filler cap is securely fastened.
Upper fuel level
TO CHECK ENGINE FUEL LEVEL:
1,. Remove fuel filler cap.
2. Visually check fuel level within gas tank.
3. If too low, add fuel. Do NOT fill above the
Shoulder of the fuel strainer. Use only unleaded
automotive gasoline with an Octane level of
87 orhigher.
Fis. 12
BLENDED FUELS
Gasoline is sometimes blended with alcohol or an ether compound to increase the octane
level. If blended fuels are used, ensure the octane rating is at least equal to the recommended
octane level in the product specifications. The followingthree blended fuels recommended:
. Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) - Gasôline containing 10% ethanol by volume.
. MTBE fmethyl tertiary butyl ether) - Gasoline containing no more than 10%
MTBE by volume.
r Methanol fmethyl or wood alcohol) - Gasoline containing no more than 5%
methanol by volume.
NOTE: Damage caused by the use of blended fuels is NOT covered under warranty.

Pre.Operating lnstructions: Air Cleaner Element
Check
CAUTION:
r Do NOT run the engine without air cleaner element installed,
Operation of engine without air cleaner element installed will result in the
inhalation of dirt, dust, and other debris into the engine and through the
carburetor. This will result in premature wear of the engine.
To Check Air Cleaner Element:
L. Remove the wing-nut from the top of the air filter housing and remove top.
2. Remove the wing nut from the air filter and check for debris or stoppage. If dirty replace with the
correct Air Filter for your unit.
3. Re-lnstall the air filter element into the air filters housing and re-attache the air box
