IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
SPRAY PRECAUTIONS:
DANGER
RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY
KEEP CLEAR OF NOZZLE
DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE STREAM AT PERSONS OR PETS.
ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SPRAY:
a. Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
b.Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand, fingersorbodydirectlyoverthespraynozzle. Alwayskeepoperating area clear of all persons. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
c. If an accident does occur and the spray appears to have penetrated the skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT. If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to tell a physician exactly what kind.
2. ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the eyes from flying debris and detergents. Other protective equipment such as rubber suits, gloves and respirators are advisable, especially when using cleaning detergents. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
3.Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
4.NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. The thrust from the water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the operator to lose balance if unprepared. DO NOT overreach or stand on unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear and keep good footing and balance at all times. NEVER trigger the gun while on a ladder or roof.
5.Caution should be used when directing spray toward fragile materials such as glass. Shattering could result in serious injury.
6.ALWAYS hold on firmly to the gun/wand assembly when starting and
operating the unit. Failure to do so can cause the wand to fall and whip dangerously. NEVER operate the gun with the trigger wired in the open position. To prevent accidental discharge, the trigger gun should be securely locked when not in use.
7. DO NOT direct spray on or into electrical installations of any kind! This includes electrical outlets, light bulbs, fuse boxes, transformers, etc. Severe electrical shock may occur.
8.Even after you shut off the unit, there is high pressure water left in the pump, hose and gun until you release it by triggering the gun. Before removing the spray nozzle or servicing the unit, ALWAYS shut off the unit and trigger the gun to release trapped pressure.

MISCELLANEOUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1.NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN OR ADOLESCENTS TO OPERATE THIS UNIT!
2. Readandfollowallhandling,operations,maintenanceandsafetyinstructions listed in this manual and the Engine Operator's manual that accompanies this unit, and provide such information to ANYONE who will be operating this unit.
3.In freezing temperatures, the unit must always be warm enough to ensure there is no ice formation in the pump. DO NOT start this unit if it has been transported in an open or underheated vehicle without first allowing the pump to thaw.
4.When connecting the water inlet to the water supply mains, local regulations of your water company must be observed. In some areas the unit must not be connected directly to the public drinking water supply. This is to ensure that there is no feedback of the detergents into the water supply. (Direct connection is permitted if a back flow preventer is installed.)
5.DO NOT allow any part of your body or the high pressure hose to make contact with the muffler. Avoid dragging the hose over an abrasive surface such as cement. This causes wear and eventual rupturing.
6.High pressure hoses should be inspected daily for signs of wear. If evidence of failure exists, promptly replace all suspect hoses to prevent the possibility
of injury from the high pressure spray. If a hose or fitting is leaking , NEVER place your hand directly on the leak.
7.DO NOT operate the unit without all protective covers in place.
8.NEVER run the unit with the governor disconnected or operate at excessive speeds.
9.To reduce the risk of injury, maintain a safe distance for persons while operating this unit. Close supervision is necessary when operating the unit near children.
10.DO NOT leave pressurized unit unattended. Shut off the unit and release trapped pressure before leaving.
11.DO NOT move the unit by pulling on the hose.

WATER SUPPLY: |
||
|
1. |
Selectawatersupplyhosewhichisaqualitygradeofgardenhosemeasuring |
|
|
|
at least 3/4" ID and no longer than 50 feet. |
|
|
2. Check the water inlet filter to ensure it is clean and free of any obstructions. |
||
|
|
Periodic cleaning of the water filter will help prevent pump problems. As |
|
|
|
a filter becomes obstructed, it restricts proper flow of water to the pump. |
|
|
|
This can result in cavitations which will cause premature failure of pump |
|
|
|
packings. Using a screwdriver, remove the strainer from the unit. Clean, |
|
|
|
or replace if necessary. |
|
|
3. |
Connect the hoses: |
|
|
|
a. |
Connect one end of the water supply hose to the water inlet of the |
|
|
|
unit. |
|
|
b. |
Connect the other end of the hose to your pressurized water supply. |
|
|
|
Do not use a non-pressurized water supply (i.e. from a pond or well) |
|
|
|
with this unit. |
|
|
c. |
Connect the high pressure discharge hose to the water outlet of the |
|
|
|
unit. |
|
|
d. |
High Pressure Discharge Hose to Gun. (If Applicable) |
|
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below: |
||
|
|
a. |
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 pounds per square inch (PSI) |
|
|
|
and a maximum of 125 PSI. (A typical outdoor faucet will generally |
|
|
|
supply this PSI if turned completely "ON".) |
|
|
b. |
IncomingGPMmustbe approximatelyonegallonmorethantheoutgoing |
|
|
|
GPM stated on the pressure washer nameplate. (You can check GPM |
|
|
|
by timing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon container.) |
|
|
c. |
Incoming water temperature must not exceed 125°F. Excessive pump |
|
|
|
damage may result if the water temperature exceeds this acceptable |
level.
5. Never allow the unit to operate without the incoming water line attached and the water supply completely turned on.
HEAT DUMP VALVE:
Toensurethewatertemperaturedoesnotexceedacceptablelevels,neverallow the pressure washer to operate in the bypass mode (with the unit running and the trigger gun closed) for more than three minutes.
Your unit is provided with a heat dump valve. The heat dump valve will be located opposite the water inlet on your pump. The heat dump valve may begin to open and release water if the water temperature in the pump has exceeded 140°F. This will allow fresh, cool water to enter the system.
