‘START’ position. Release the key as

NOTE: If the engine fails to start:

rotating may cause damage to the starter motor and flywheel.

2. Wait at least 30 seconds before you attempt to restart the engine again.

IMPORTANT: Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes after each

start up so the engine can stabilise.

2. Check the engine, pump & gearbox oil levels. See page 15-16.

3. Connect the high pressure hose and water inlet hoses. See page 13.

NOTE: The power washer is easier to start if you do not turn the water supply on at

this time, see point 9.
