OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY

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. CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by

PSI. GPM x PSI = CU

10- ENG

Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within pump when the gun trigger is not pulled.

NOTICE: Allowing the unit to run for more than two minutes without the gun trigger pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump.

Thermal Relief Valve:

When the temperature inside the pump rises too high the valve will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve will then close.

Chemical Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.

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.

PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES

Pressure Adjustments

The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum pres sure and cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these meth ods.

1. Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The further away you are,

the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.

2. Change to the 40º nozzle - (white)

this nozzle delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern.

NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

Spray Wand Nozzles

The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly. Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.

Changing Nozzles on Spray Wand

DANGER: Risk of fluid injection. Do not direct discharge stream toward persons, unprotected skin, eyes or any pets or animals. Serious injury will occur.
