ENGLISH 71321 Assembly Add Engine Oil Add Engine Oil Cont’d. CAUTION DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil. Damage to the pressure washer as a result of failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty. NOTE The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil. 1. Place the pressure washer on a flat, level surface. 4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
71321 ENGLISH Add Fuel 1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume. 2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel. 3. Clean the area around the fuel cap. 4. Remove the fuel cap. 5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (0.64 cm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (0.64 cm) is recommended.
ENGLISH 71321 Operation Pressure Washer Location This pressure washer must have at least five feet of clearance from combustible material. Leave at least three feet of clearance on all sides of the pressure washer to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place the pressure washer in a well ventilated area. DO NOT place the pressure washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
71321 ENGLISH Operation Distance from Cleaning Surface Thermal Relief Valve (TRV) The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning surface affects the impact force of the water. The impact force of the water increases as the nozzle is moved closer to the surface. You can vary the impact force by controlling 1. The nozzle’s fan pattern. 2. The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface. 3. The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface.
ENGLISH 71321 Operation Low Pressure Wash Depressurize System Detergent Use To depressurize, turn engine/motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times. The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Many detergents are customized for pressure washer use on specific cleaning tasks. Pressure washer detergents are as thick as water. Using thicker detergents – like dish soap – will clog the chemical injection system.
71321 ENGLISH Operation Stopping the Engine Operation at High Altitude 1. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position. 2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes. 3. Press the ignition switch to the “OFF” position. 4. Depressurize system. 5. Turn off and unplug all hoses. Never start or stop the pressure washer unless the water supply is turned on.
ENGLISH 71321 Maintenance and Storage The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. WARNING Never operate a damaged or defective pressure washer. WARNING Oil Cont’d. NOTE Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking. Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
71321 ENGLISH Maintenance and Storage Pressure Washer Maintenance Cleaning CAUTION DO NOT spray engine with water. Water can contaminate the fuel system. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the engine. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from the engine.
