FAST position.
For more details see engine manual.
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.
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 1
Check oil level.
Oil level should be level with the bottom of
the oil filler neck. Be sure the machine is
level when checking the oil level. (Refer to
the engine’s operating manual for seasonal
grades.) We recommend that the oil be
changed after the first 5 hours of use, then
once every 50 hours.
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
Pull the choke rod to the CLOSED position
(on a warm engine, leave the choke rod in
the OPEN position).
