NOTE:Synthetic oii meeting iLSAC GF=2,APi certification
mark and APi service symboi with "SJ/CF ENERGY
CONSERVING"or higher, is an acceptabie oii at aii
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals,
SAE30: 40°F and higher (5°C and higher) is good for aii
purpose use above 40%, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-31_: O to IO0°F (=18to 38°C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This viscosity improves coid weather
starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80%
(27%),
*Check oii ievei frequently at higher temperatures,
Synthetic 5W-30:=20 to 120°F(=30to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at ati temperatures as well as improved
starting with iess oii consumption,
5W-30: 40°F and be_;ow (5°C and below) is recommended for
winter use and works best in cold conditions,
Checking Oil Level
OiI level should be checked prior to each use or at least ever,/
5 hours of operation. Keep oii ievei maintained.
1.
Make sure pressure washer is on a ievei surface.
2.
Remove oii dipstick and wipe dipstick with ctean cioth.
Reptaceand tigilten dipstick. Removeand and check oil
level.
3.
Verify oiI is at "Full" mark on dipstick. Replace and
tighten dipstick.
1.
Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2.
Checkoii ievei as described in Checking Off Level
3.
if needed,siowiy pour oil into oil fiii opening to the
"Full" mark on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.
Overfiiiing with oil may cause the engine to not start, or
hard starting.
DO NOTovertill.
If over the FULL mark on dipstick, drain oil to reduce oil level to
FULL rnark on dipstick.
4.
Replaceand tighten dipstick.
