IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HAZARD

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT IT

Spilled gasoline and it’s vapors can become ignited from cigarette sparks, electrical arcing, exhaust gases, and hot engine components such as the muffler.

Heat will expand fuel in the tank which could result in spillage and possible fire explosion.

Operating the pressure washer in an explosive environment could result in a fire.

Materials placed against or near the pressure washer can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials.

Muffler exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt any material sensitive to heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber, or vinyl), and damage live plants.

Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of children or other unqualified persons.

Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or any kind of flammable solvent with this product could result in serious injury or death.

Shut off engine and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank.

Use care in filling tank to avoid spilling fuel. Move pressure washer away from fueling area before starting engine.

Keep maximum fuel level ½” below top of tank to allow for expansion.

Operate and fuel equipment in well ventilated areas free from obstructions. Equip areas with fire extinguishers suitable for gasoline fires.

Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry brush or weeds.

Always keep pressure washer a minimum of four feet away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles, or live plants) that could be damaged from muffler exhaust heat.

The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto

striping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strong surfaces like concrete and steel.

Operating without flow of water will result in equipment damage. Operating the pressure washer with water supply shutoff will void your warranty. You should never run this pressure washer for more than 2 minutes without pulling the trigger to allow cool water to enter the pump and the heated (recirculated) water to exit.

PRESSURE WASHER

High Pressure Pump (located inside the shroud): Increases the pressure of the water supply.

Engine: Drives the high pressure pump.

High Pressure Hose: Carries the pressurized water from the pump to the gun and wand.

Spray Gun: Connects with wand to control water flow rate, direction, and pressure.

Multi-Reg Wand: Has a spray nozzle which adjust from a pencil stream (0°) to a wide angle fan spray (40°). The spray can be adjusted by twisting the nozzle clockwise and/or counterclockwise. Also, the high and low pressure settings can be controlled by moving the nozzle in and out. See Operation section.

Chemical Hose: Allows cleaners or cleaning solvents to be mixed with the pressurized water stream. See How To Siphon Chemicals/Cleaning Solvents in Operation section of this manual.

ENGINE

Choke Control: Opens and closes the choke valve in carburetor.

Throttle Control Lever: Controls engine speed.

Starter Grip: Pulling starter grip operates recoil starter to crank engine.

Fuel Valve Lever: Opens and closes connection between fuel tank and carburetor.

PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY

NOTE: Become familiar with this terminology before operating.

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.

GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water through the pressure washer.

CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI.

Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the pump is recirculating water because the trigger of the spray gun is not pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode for more than two (2) minutes, the water temperature will rise to a dangerous level and damage internal components of the pump.Any damage to pump due to these causes will not be covered under warranty.

DO NOT allow your unit to operate in

bypass mode for more than two minutes at any time. Overheating of pump can cause damage to pump.

Thermal Relief Valve: In an effort to prevent damage, pumps are equipped with a thermal relief valve. This valve will open when the temperature inside the pump rises too high. This valve will then release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. Immediately after this occurs, the valve will close.

Chemical Injection: Feeds cleaning agents into the pump to mix with the pressurized water and help in cleaning.

Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 5 gallons per minute.

HOW TO USE

IMPORTANT: Read and understand how to use the pressure washer before operating.

TO ADJUST PRESSURE

The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these methods.

1.Back away from the surface to be cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.

2.Reduce the speed of the gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the engine down and the water pressure will go down with it.

DO NOT attempt to increase pump

pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

TO USE WAND

Your pressure washer is equipped with a multi-reg wand with both high and low pressure settings. The high pressure setting is for cleaning and rinsing, the low pressure setting is for applying chemicals or cleaning solutions to surfaces.

Risk of injection or injury to person. Do not direct discharge stream toward

persons, unprotected skin, eyes, or towards any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.

For high pressure operation, pull back the nozzle of the multi-reg wand as shown.

11ENG

D25083

The nozzle at the end of the multi-reg wand can be rotated to change the high pressure spray pattern from a narrow jet to a 40º fan shape, as shown. Markings have been placed on the nozzle to help you select the spray pattern.

40º fan spray

narrow jet stream

For low pressure operation, extend the nozzle of the multi-reg wand as shown.

TO SIPHON CHEMICALS/CLEANING SOLVENTS

Siphoning chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation.

NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use. Do not use bleach.

1.Press chemical hose onto barbed fitting located near high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.

Barb fitting

2.Place other end of chemical hose with filter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning solution.

3.Set multi-reg nozzle to low pressure setting, see How To Use Wand paragraph in this section.

4.After use of chemical, siphon clean water through chemical hose to rinse it and pump clean. Chemicals which remain in pump can damage it. Damage to pump due to chemicals will not be cov-

ered under warranty.

NOTE: Chemicals and soap will not siphon when wand is in the high pressure setting.

TO SHUT DOWN

IMPORTANT: Read and understand how to shut down the pressure washer before operating.

1.If you have siphoned chemicals, siphon a bucket of clean water through the chemical hose. NOTE: Failure to do so will cause damage to the pump.

2.Turn engine off by placing the throttle control in the OFF position.

NOTE: NEVER turn the water off with the engine running.

3.Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position if engine will not be restarted soon.

4.Turn water source off.

5.Pull trigger on spray gun to relieve any water pressure in hose or spray gun.

6.See Storage section in this manual for proper storage procedures.

BEFORE STARTING

Read and understand all Important Safety Instructions in the front of this manual and the following Cautions and Warnings before starting the pressure washer.

Filler cap/dipstick

Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

Never turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to pump will result.

DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.

DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time.

1.Add fresh high quality unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine.

2.Remove filler cap/dipstick and add engine oil (supplied) to engine. NOTE: There will be a slight amount of oil in the engine from factory testing. Always check oil level before each startup.

3.Verify the filter screen is in water inlet of pump, as shown.
