Attach the Handle
Place the handle onto the bottom of the handle
supports already connected to the main unit. Make
sure the holes in the handle align with the holes in
the handle supports (Figure 2).
Note: It may be necessary to move the handle
supports from side to side in order to align the handle
so it will slide over the handle supports.
Insert the carriage bolts from the outside through
the holes on the handle and attach the plastic
knobs on the inside. Tighten the knobs by hand
(Figure 3).
Insert the wire support with the longer arm
positioned on the left. From this view (from rear of
unit), the hook resembles a J (Figure 4).
Add Engine Oil
WARNING! Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before being properly serviced with the
recommended oil will result in an engine
failure.
Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use
only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF,SG, SH or SH/CD rated SAE 30
weight.
Select the oils viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature:
Do Not Use SAE 0W40 Oil.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil.
To fill unit with oil:
Place pressure washer on a level surface.
Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap
(Figure 5).

HOW TO USE YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure
washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at
-800-270- 408.
How to Start Your Engine
The best way to start your engine-powered pressure
washer for the first time is to follow these instructions
step-by-step. This starting information also applies
whenever you start the engine after you have let the
pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.
This pressure washer requires a water source that
flows at least 3.0 gallons per minute. Do not attempt
to siphon water from a non-pressurized container.
Place the pressure washer close enough to an
outside water source so that no more than 50' of
garden hose is needed.
Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
ASSEMBLY section for illustrations.
Connect the garden hose to water inlet on the
pressure washer pump and turn the water valve on
all the way.
WARNING! Do not run pump without the
water supply connected and turned on. You
must follow this caution or the pump will be
damaged.
emove dual lance from the spay gun.
Squeeze trigger on spray gun until a steady
stream of water appears.
Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger
(Figure 10).
Place the un/Stop switch to Run.
Press the primer bulb 3 times, waiting 2 seconds
between each push
Note: For a warm engine, do not prime.
Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until you feel
some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to
overcome compression, prevent kickback and start
the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly.
If after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, disengage the
spray gun safety latch, squeeze the trigger to relieve
water pressure, re-engage the spray gun safety latch
and pull the recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3
pulls).
How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
Move the un/Stop switch to Stop.
Simply shutting off the engine will not release
pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.
Note: A small amount of water will spray out when
you release the pressure.
How to Use the Spray Gun and Dual
Lance
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust pressure and apply
chemicals using the spray gun and dual lance.
DANGER! Never put hands in front of nozzle.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure, you may damage the cleaning
surface.
Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
