Always leave room for expansion. • Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the pressure washer engine. Regular leaded gasoline may also be used if UNLEADED is not available. Fuel tank capacity is 1 U.S. quart. IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicatesthat alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an enginewhilein storage.To avoidengine problems,the fuel systemshouldbeemptiedbeforestorageof30 days or longer. See "Storage" on page 15. Never use engine or carburetorcleaner productsin the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. • Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap. • Add "UNLEADED" regular gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank. • Installfuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

You are now ready to clean your car, boat or the outside of a buildingor whatever you plan to clean: The best way to start your engine-powered pressure washer for the first time is to follow these instructions step-by-step. This startinginformationalso applies whenever you start the engine after you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day. Place the pressure washer in an area close enough to an outsidewater sourcethatcanflowatarateof3 gallons per minute. Connect a garden hose to the water spout. • Checkthatthe highpressurehoseistightlyconnected to the spray gun and to the pump. See ASSEMBLY section for illustrations. • Connect the garden hose to water inlet opening on the pressurewasher pump and turn ON the water. • Reconnectthe wand extension Note: After reconnectingthe wand extension, you may need to squeeze trigger again on pressure washer wand torelievethe airpressurecausedbywaterinletsupply. Water will spew out of the gun in a thin stream. This will make iteasier to pullstartthe engine. • Engage safety latch on spray gun to the ON position. This disables the trigger so you cannot inadvertently actuate a highpressurespray. ON __ OFF WATER INLET Check inlet screen If screen is damaged DO not connect water. • • Set THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER to CHOKE position (see Page 8). Remove the wand extension and squeeze the trigger to purge pump system of air and impurities. • Turn the pressurecontrol knob counterclockwisetwo turnsfrom maximum pressure (see Page 7). • Grasp the starter gripand pull slowly untilyou feel resistance.Then pullrapidlyupto two (2) times. • When engine starts,move the ThrottleControlLever to the FAST position.

IMPORTANT: An internalthermal relief valve has a maximum temperature setting of 140°F (60°C). If you run the pump for 5 minuteswithoutpressingthe triggeronthe spraygun, 1/2 to I ounce of water is released through the valve to cool the unit. The small amount of water will dripout the bottom of pump. SIPHONING we recommendthatyou DO NOT siphon-yourwater supply. Connect only to householdwater supply. TIPS • Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or wax. • If you have the spray nozzle too far away, the cleaning will not be as effective. I0 CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES than30days.
