Налаштування

1. Розпакування та початкове складання

Carefully remove the pressure washer from its packaging. Inspect all components for damage. The unit is shipped with some parts requiring assembly, including wheels, axles, and the handle.

Wheel and Axle Installation: Slide the axles through the designated openings on the frame. Attach the wheels, plastic washers, and lock collars. Ensure the lock collars are tightened using a 4mm Allen wrench. You may need to lift or block the unit to facilitate wheel installation.

Figure 3: Two hose reels provide organized storage for the high-pressure hose and a garden hose.

Hose Reel Mounting: Mount the hose reel using the provided bolts. There are typically three bolts, with an option for a fourth if desired by drilling a hole. Connect the high-pressure hose to the reel, ensuring a secure fit. Lubricate quick couplers with silicone grease or Vaseline to prevent corrosion and seizing.

2. Перевірка рівня рідин та заповнення

Before initial use, verify and fill all necessary fluids.

• Масляний насос: The pressure pump is typically pre-filled with SAE 85W-90 non-detergent oil. Check the fluid level using the sight glass or dipstick. Ensure the vented cap is installed after checking.
• Моторне масло: The engine is shipped without oil. Fill with 10W-30 motor oil, approximately 1.16 quarts, suitable for temperatures between 0-100°F. Use the provided flexible funnel for easier filling. Check the oil level using the dipstick, ensuring it's not threaded in when checking.
• Gasoline Tank: Fill the gasoline tank with unleaded gasoline.
• Diesel/Fuel Oil Tank: Fill the diesel tank (5-gallon capacity) with diesel or fuel oil only. Do not overfill.
