While oPerating:

16. Always use water that is clear and free from particles.

17. Always point the wand nozzle away from people and animals,
the high pressure the unit generates is very dangerous.

18. Keep the pressure hose connected to the machine and wand
while unit is pressurized.

19. Never leave the wand unattended while the machine is running.

20. Always seek emergency medical care immediately if any fluid
penetrates the skin. The cut may be deeper and more serious
than it appears.

21. Never run preheated water into the machine.

22. Do not secure the wand in the squeezed, “ON” position.

23. No smoking when operating the machine.

24. Never use the unit when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.

25. Do not adjust the unloader.

26. Do not move the unit by pulling on the hose or electrical cord.

27. Only operate the machine with sufficient water supply to the
pump.

28. Do not let the machine run with the wand in the not-squeezed,
“OFF” position for more than 2 minutes (30 seconds with the
water temperature above 80° F). This causes bypass water
temperature to increase which damages the pump.

29. Protect your machine from freezing during storage. Follow
the instructions to protect your pressure washer from freezing
storage temperatures.

30. Always follow all other guidelines and safety instructions
described in this manual.

asseMBly instrUctions

Pre-asseMBly checklist

1. The pressure washer should be as close as possible to the water
supply.

2. Locate the pressure washer on a solid, level surface with a gentle
slope to prevent water from building up in the work area. Excess
water can make surfaces slippery.

3. Position the unit so the operator has easy access to the pressure
washer and its controls.

4. To prevent damage and excessive hose wear, locate the pressure
washer so the hose does NOT extend across traffic areas. Make
sure there are no kinks or twists in the hose.

5. Use extension cords of at least 12-3 gauge for lengths up to
50 feet or 10-3 gauge for lengths up to 100 feet. Check the
extension cord to make sure it is not damaged or frayed. The
outlet should have an amperage rating of 20 amps or greater
and should have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

6. Do not use the pressure washer outdoors if it is raining, and do
not spray the motor or any of its connections.

7. Do not use chemicals or agents which are not compatible with
the Buna-N and PVC (polyvinyl) or neoprene covering of the
hose.

8. Do not run acids or hard caustics through the pump.

9. Check to determine if the water supply is capable of exceeding
the output of the pump. The output of this unit is 2.1 gpm
(gallons per minute), so the water supply must deliver at least 2.5
gpm.

Calculate gpm flow rate by running the water supply
into a pail for one minute. Measure the gallons in
the pail. If it is at least 2.5 gallons in the minute, your
supply is adequate. Your water supply must be clean
and free of debris. Use water with a temperature of
less than 140° F.

unit.

Plugged injector valve. Check and clean the injector.

Using the soaP injector

starting the Machine after a Period of non-Use

Your pressure washer is supplied with a downstream low pressure
soap/chemical injector. Soap is added after the water flows through
the pump. The injector is used to add liquids to the water. The
injector works only on low pressure.

To draw soap/chemical into the pressure washer, insert the filter end
of the pick-up hose into the soap/chemical. Adjust the nozzle to the
low pressure position. Do not use powders, granulars, high viscosity
detergents or acidic based detergents/chemicals in the injector.

To shutdown the injector, remove pick up tube and filter from
detergent/chemical tank and place it in a container of clear water.
Run water through the entire system to wash out the chemical you
were using.

storing the PressUre Washer

Severe damage could occur by water freezing inside the components.
To prevent costly repairs, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the unit is “OFF”, water supply is disconnected and
system pressure has been relieved.

2. Install a suction hose from the pump inlet (garden hose fitting)
into a gallon of NON-TOXIC RV anti-freeze. Following operating
instructions start the machine and squeeze trigger on the spray
gun allowing the pump to draw anti-freeze through the entire
system. Once the anti-freeze appears at the end of the wand,
turn the machine “OFF”.

Long periods of non-use can cause calcium and iron deposits inside
the pump. Starting the machine could cause damage to the pump.
Insert the allen key provided with the unit through the hole in the
motor end housing and rotate the motor one revolution clockwise
and counter-clockwise. Remove the key and start the motor. It
should start up easily.

Maintenance

Change oil after the first 50 hours of use. Use a SAE20 or 30 non­detergent oil. After that, change oil every 200 hours, once a year
or when it looks milky, more frequently if used in demanding
environments. Changing oil is one of the most important and least
expensive maintenance items, it will prolong the life of your pressure
washer.

roUtine checks – do these Before every Use.

1. Check water inlet screens for signs of debris.

2. Check nozzle for debris and signs of extensive wear. Worn
nozzle will result in poor performance. Only check nozzle with

the motor turned “OFF” and the pressure relieved from the
system!

3. Check all fittings and connections for leaks and worn areas.

3. Squeeze gun trigger to relieve pressure from system. Disconnect
the high pressure hose from the high pressure outlet and put the
hose, gun/wand and owners manual in a secure place to prevent
unauthorized people from using the machine.

4. When preparing to use the pressure washer again, simply
reconnect the high pressure hose assembly and water supply to
the unit, turn the water on and squeeze the trigger on the spray
gun to send water through the system. Dispose of the anti­freeze/water solution safely where it will not be harmful to the
environment, people or animals.

cleaning tiPs

gUn, Wand and nozzle

The gun nozzle supplied with the pressure washer provides optimum
cleaning for universal cleaning applications if used properly.

Cleaning agents are most effective when the surface is rinsed first
to loosen dirt. After pre-rinsing to loosen dirt, then clean with
detergent.

Detergent should be applied from the bottom to the top of the
washing area. Apply detergent and allow the detergent to react
with the dirt, then rinse from the top to the bottom. This detergent
applying and rinsing technique will help to avoid streaks and skips in
the washing area.

Never use more detergent than is necessary to clean the surface.

Always follow directions supplied by the detergent manufacturer on
the container.

For best spraying results, hold the gun 6-12” away from the washing
surface and use long, slow deliberate side to side strokes, similar to
using a paint sprayer. This technique will provide the most effective
cleaning impact and minimize streaks and skips in the cleaning
process. Waving the spray gun aimlessly across the surface wastes
water and expensive detergent and prolongs the cleaning process.

If the pressure washer is used to apply wax, the gun should be held
further from the surface to optimize the “misting” effect when
applying the wax. For best results, follow the directions supplied by
the wax manufacturer.

Hold the gun/wand in the normal operating position. Turn the
nozzle sleeve clockwise for a fan spray and counterclockwise for
a stream. (Pull the nozzle sleeve forward for high pressure while
pushing the sleeve away from the gun for low pressure.) After
shutting down the unit and draining the hose, spray a lubricant,
such as WD40, on the backside of the nozzle and work the nozzle
back and forth from high to low pressure. This will help prevent
the nozzle from sticking. Examine nozzle tip for blockage only with
pressure washer “OFF” and pressure relieved from system.
