OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Check oil level.
Oil level should always 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 seasonal grades.).
Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil
sensor to shut off engine.
Step 2
Fill gas tank with unleaded gasoline.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Step 3
Connect the high pressure hose to the unit’s
high pressure outlet.
Step 4
Connect garden hose to unit’s water inlet.
Step 5
Connect garden hose to the cold water
source and turn water on completely.
Do not use hot water.
Step 6
Trigger the gun to eliminate trapped air, wait
for a steady flow of water to emerge from
the spray nozzle.
Step 7
Slide the choke lever out to the closed
position (on a warm engine, leave the choke
lever in the open position).
Important!
Do not run the engine with a high or low
oil level as this can cause engine damage.
If you have further questions regarding the
engine, please refer to the engine’s
operating manual included with the unit.
Step 8
Slide the throttle lever up about
1/3 of the way toward the fast position.
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 to open position and
throttle to fast position.
