use the product and contact your dealer. The use of
incomplete or damaged products is a potential hazard
to people and property
3. To prepare your pressure washer for operation,
you will need to perform these tasks:
1) Attach handle to main unit.
2) Add oil to engine crankcase.
3) Add fuel to fuel tank.
4) Connect high pressure hose to trigger gun and
pump.
5) Connect water supply to pump.
6) Attach nozzle extension to trigger gun.
7) Select/attach quick connect nozzle to nozzle
extension.
4. HANDLE ASSEMBLY(See Fig. A1& A2)
Insert the handle to the handle supports (a) of the
high pressure washer. Fix it by using the two screws
(18) for handle .
5. ADD ENGINE OIL
CAUTION! The following procedures and
adjustments must be performed before the
engine is started. Do not attempt to make any of these
adjustments with the engine is running.
1) OIL TYPE
Always use good-quality engine oil which classified
SAE 30 oil. Never use additives with recommended
oil.
To prolong the life of your engine it is important that
the oil is changed after the first 5 hours of use - refer
to “Maintenance”.
2) FILLING WITH ENGINE OIL (See Fig. B1&B2)
CAUTION! To prevent engine damage the
engine is shipped without oil or petrol. The
engine must be filled with the correct grade of oil and
petrol before starting the engine.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped
and the washer on a level surface.
a) Unscrew and remove the oil dipstick (b).
b) Gradually add good-quality engine oil. Check
the oil level frequently while filling. Wipe the oil
dipstick clean; refit and tighten the filler cap and
then remove it again.
The oil level must between the “Min” and “Max”
marks on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
c) Wipe spilled oil with a soft cloth and reattach the
oil tank cap.
NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level will
cause engine damage. Recommend use high
detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil. Use
non-detergent oil can shorten the engine’s service
life and using 2-stroke oil will damage the engine.
Do not overfill. Wipe away any spilt oil.
6. ADD FUEL
1) FUEL TYPE
Always use clean, fresh unleaded petrol. Purchase
fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days.
Never mix oil with petrol.
Fill to base of neck to allow for fuel expansion. Do not
overfill the fuel tank.
2) FILLING WITH FUEL
WARNING: Petrol is highly inflammable and
extreme precaution must be taken when
handling or working with it. Keep out of reach of
children.
WARNING: This product is not supplied with
fuel.
Before operation, it is essential to fill it with proper oil.
a) Unscrew and remove the fuel tank cap (7).
b) Add fuel until fuel level remains a minimum 5mm
of space between top of the fuel and the inside
edge of the tank to allow for expansion. Do not
overfill.
c) Wipe any spilled fuel with a soft cloth and tighten
the fuel tank cap.
d) Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where the engine the engine is refueled
2400PSI PETROL HIGH PRESSURE WASHER EN
12
or where petrol is stored. Avoid repeated or
prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.
NOTE: Petrol should be stores in an approved
container. Never buy or store more than 30 days
supply of petrol. Do not mix oil with petrol.
7. CONNECT HIGH PRESSURE HOSE AND WATER SUPPLY
TO PUMP (See Fig. C1~C5)
WARNING: Do not connect machine to potable
water supply.
Alternative water supply
--- A self-suction mechanism allows for the product
to optionally be connected to a bucket or water
tank instead of a water supply main. With the hose
inserted into the bucket or water tank, the self-suction
mechanism will draw water directly from the bucket
or tank.
--- When use self-suction function, need press the
trigger gun and hold approx 3 minute before the gun
reach normal spraying water pressure (the pump need
extra time to eject air inside pump before operation).
NOTE: Pay close attention to the amount of water in the
bucket or water tank to
ensure that there is an adequate supply of water to
avoid running the pump dry.
1) Uncoil high pressure hose and attach one end of
hose to base of spray gun. Tighten by hand in
clockwise.(See Fig. C1)
2) Attach the other end of high pressure hose to
water outlet (12) on pump. Tighten by hand in
clockwise. (See Fig. C2)
3) Run water through your water hose (not supplied)
for 30 seconds to clean out any debris.
4) Before connecting water hose to water inlet(14),
inspect inlet screen (c). Clean screen if it
contains debris or have it replaced if damaged.
Do not run pressure washer if inlet screen is
damaged. (See Fig. C3)
5) Connect the water hose (not supplied) not to
exceed 15 m in length to the water inlet.
6) Turn on the water, unlock the trigger safety lock
(17) of the gun and squeeze the trigger to purge the
pump system of air and impurities.(See Fig. C4)
7) When not in use, the locked trigger gun may be
stored in the Storage For Trigger Gun and Lance
(2) and the high pressure hose may be stored in the
Storage For High Pressure Hose (5). (See Fig. C5).
8. CHECKLIST BEFORE OPERATION

If the engine fails to start after three pulls, repeat
the start process. When the engine starts, return
the starter rope gently. When operating, the recoil
starter handle could be fixed on the storage for
start handle(4). (See Fig. D6, D7)
11) Once the engine is running, move the choke lever
(11) to the “CHOCK ON” (See Fig. D5).
Stopping the pressure washer
1) Release spray gun trigger and let engine idle for
two minutes.
2) Turn the ignition switch (10) to the “OFF” position.
(See Fig. D3)
3) ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction, squeeze
trigger to release retained high water pressure
and lock the gun.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
the operator should use the accessory or
attachment according to the instruction. When the
machine is not in use and to prevent unauthorized
use, the gun should be locked in the “OFF” position.
Usage tips

from yourself and others towards the surface to
be cleaned.
4) Press the trigger and direct the water jet at the
selected object to be washed.
5) Hold the lance the appropriate distance away from
the surface being cleaned to avoid damaging it.
If working on a delicate surface a further away
distance is advised (see below for suggested
cleaning methods)
6) Release the trigger to stop the water jet
7) For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 20
to 61 cm away from cleaning surface.
8) If you get nozzle too close, especially using a high

hose connector.
6) Screw the water filter/hose connector back onto
the inlet on the back of the machine.
3. NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray
gun trigger may be caused by excessive pump
pressure. The principal cause of excessive pump
pressure is a nozzle clogged or restricted with foreign
2400PSI PETROL HIGH PRESSURE WASHER EN
14
materials, such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem,
immediately clean the spray nozzle following these
instructions:
1) Switch engine off and turn off water supply

the gun and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.
3) Remove nozzle from end of nozzle extension.
4) Use a small paper clip to free any foreign material
clogging or restricting nozzle.
4. ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Spark plug (See Fig. E1, E2)
1) Once the engine has cooled, pull off spark plug
connector (9) and remove the spark plug with
supplied socket spanner. (See Fig.E1)
2) Remove debris from the electrode with a
soft wired brush; avoid heavy cleaning of the
