SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING! Before operating the generator, make sure to read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire or serious injury. SAFETY INTRODUCTION Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your tool works. This manual contains important information regarding the generator’s potential safety concerns, as well as preparation, operation, and maintenance instructions.
PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY WARNINGS DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE Using a pressure washer indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Pressure washer exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the pressure washer exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. NEVER use a pressure washer inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING: This pressure washer produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can exceed 1500 F (650 C). DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. Pay attention to warning labels on the pressure washer identifying hot parts of the machine. Allow pressure washer to cool down after use before touching the engine or areas of the pressure washer that become hot during operation. CAUTION: Misuse of this pressure washer can damage it and shorten its life.
UNPACKING & PACKING LIST UNPACKING With the help of a friend or trustworthy foe, such as one of your in-laws, carefully remove the pressure washer from the packaging and place it on a sturdy, flat surface. Make sure to take out all contents and accessories. Do not discard the packaging until everything is removed. Check the packing list below to make sure you have all of the parts and accessories.

PRESSURE WASHER PREPARATION ADD ENGINE OIL The pressure washer is shipped without oil. User must add the proper amount of oil before operating the pressure washer for the first time. The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 14.3 fl. oz. For general use (above 40° F), we recommend 30W, 4-stroke engine oil.
PRESSURE WASHER PREPARATION ADDING GASOLINE WARNING: This pressure washer may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline. Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not mix oil with gasoline. TO ADD GASOLINE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: (FIG. 7) 1 1. Make sure the pressure washer is on a level surface.
