CAUTION
Do not run the engine with a high or low
oil level as this can cause engine dam-
age.
If you have further questions regarding
the engine, please refer to the engine
manual included with the unit.
Î STEP 1:
Check oil level. Oil level should al-
ways be between the “FULL” and
“ADD” marks on the dipstick.
Be sure the machine is level when
checking the oil level. (Refer to the
engine’s operating manual for sea-
sonal grades.).
We recommend that the oil be
changed after the first 5 hours of
use, then once every 25 hours.
Î STEP 2:
Fill gas tank with unleaded gasoline.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Î STEP 3:
Connect the high pressure hose to
the unit’s high pressure outlet.
Î STEP 4:
Connect garden hose to unit’s water
inlet.
Î STEP 5:
Connect garden hose to the cold wa-
ter source and turn water on com-
pletely.
Do not use hot water.
Î STEP 6:
Unlock the trigger gun safety lock.
Trigger the gun to eliminate trapped
air, wait for a steady flow of water to
emerge from the spray nozzle.
Î STEP 7:
Initial Start:
Pull the choke rod to the CLOSED
position.
Starting a Warm engine:
If the engine has run out of fuel, set
choke rod to the CLOSED position
after refueling. If the engine has not
run out of fuel, leave the choke rod in
the OPEN position.
Î STEP 8:
Engine with manual throttle:
Slide the throttle lever away from the
SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way
toward the FAST position.
Engine with fixed throttle:
Move the engine stop switch to the
ON position.
For engine details see engine manual.
Î STEP 9:
Pull the starter handle.
If the engine fails to start after
3 pulls, squeeze the trigger gun to
release pressure, and repeat step.
After the engine warms up enough to
run smoothly, move choke rod to
OPEN position and throttle to FAST
position.
