Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start my pressure washer?
1. Make sure you have gas and oil in the engine.
2. Turn the water on, then trigger the gun to make sure the water will flow smoothly out of the nozzle.
3. Put the engine throttle control in the “Fast/Start” position. Set the shut off switch to “ON.”
4. Push the engine primer bulb three times (if applicable) or set the choke to “ON.”
5. Pull the trigger (to relieve any back pressure in the pump) while pulling the starter cord.
6. If the engine does not start after three tries, repeat Steps 4 and 5 (See Page 5).
What type of oil do I use?
Engine: The engine DOES NOT COME
FILLED WITH OIL. See Page 10 for engine oil types and quantities.
Pump: The pump comes filled with the correct amount of oil and should not need changing or filling. Refer to Pages 9 and 10 of
this manual for oil changing instructions, oil types and quantities.
Why don’t I have any water pressure?
• Is the water hose attached to the pressure washer?
• Is the water turned on?
• Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the hoses, fittings, or the nozzle.
• Is the adjustable nozzle in the low psi position? If so, move it into the high psi position (See Page 7).
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and remove debris if needed.
How do I get high pressure?
• For high pressure, move the nozzle into the high psi position (See Page 7).
How do I get the soap suction to work?
1. Connect the clear plastic chemical suction tube to the plastic hose barb on detergent tank (if applicable).
2. Fill the detergent tank with detergent forumlated for use with pressure washers.
3. Move the nozzle into the low psi position (See Page 7).
Why doesn’t the pressure washer apply detergents with high pressure?
Detergents “bounce” off cleaning surfaces as fast as they are applied. The pressure washer’s features allow for a detergent to be
drawn while in low pressure mode only. By applying detergent at low pressure, the effect of “bouncing” is reduced. Also, detergents
are only effective when time is allowed for them to work on the surface of whatever is being cleaned. After applying the detergent,
wait 1-3 minutes while it works, and then proceed to rinse the surface with high pressure.
We offer a high pressure soap lance as an accessory. Refer to page 13 for information about this accessory. Because of “bouncing”,
this accessory is not intended to be used where a regular lance would be sufficient.
What maintenance do I need to perform on my pressure washer?
1. After turning off the pressure washer and the water, depressurize the hose by triggering the gun.
2. Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose from the pump.
3. Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge water from the pump. This will help protect the pump from damage.
4. Do not store your pressure washer in an area where the temperature will drop below 32˚ F.
What do I do if I’m missing a part?

WASHER TO THE RETAILER!

• Always engage the trigger safety latch in the safe position
when spraying is stopped even if only for a few moments.
• Always follow detergent manufacturer’s label
recommendations for proper use of detergents. Always
protect eyes, skin, and respiratory system from detergent
use.
Do not use pressure that exceeds the
operating pressure of any of the parts
(hoses, fittings, etc.) in the pressurized system. Ensure all
equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the
maximum working pressure of the unit.
Explosion
hazard.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids or use pressure washer in
areas containing combustible dust, liquids, or vapors.
• Never operate this machine in a closed building or in or
near an explosive environment.
• Do not remove fuel tank cap or fill fuel tank while engine
is hot or running (allow engine to cool two minutes
before refueling). Always fill the tank slowly.
• Never disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from
the machine while the system is pressurized. To
depressurize machine, turn power and water supply off,
then press the gun trigger 2-3 times.
• Never permanently engage the trigger mechanism on the
gun.
• Never operate the machine without all components
properly connected to the machine (handle, gun/wand
assembly, nozzle, etc.).
Equipment
damage.
• ALWAYS turn water supply “ON” before turning pressure
washer “ON.” Running pump dry causes serious damage.
• Do not operate the pressure washer with the inlet water
screen removed. Keep screen clear of debris and sediment.
• NEVER operate pressure washer with broken or missing
parts. Check equipment regularly and repair or replace
worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Use only the nozzle supplied with this machine.
• Never leave the wand unattended while the machine is
running.
• Never tamper with the engine governor or attempt to
alter factory settings. Altering factory settings could
damage the unit and will void the warranty.
• Always hold gun and wand firmly when starting and
operating the machine.
• NEVER allow the unit to run with the trigger released
(off) for more than one minute. Resulting heat buildup
will damage the pump.
• NEVER store the pressure washer outdoors or where it
could freeze. Freezing temperatures can seriously damage
the pump.
• Release the trigger when changing from high to low
pressure modes. Failure to do so could result in damage to
the nozzle.
Keep hose away from sharp objects.
Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine
hoses regularly and replace if damaged. Do not attempt to
mend a damaged hose.

The following cleaning procedure will help you organize
your cleaning task and ensures that you will achieve the best
results in the shortest amount of time. Remember to use the
spraying / cleaning techniques mentioned in the following
section.
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning job, prepare the
surface you intend to clean. Clear furniture from the area
and make sure that all windows and doors are closed tightly.
Also, protect all plants and trees near the cleaning area with
a drop cloth. A covering ensures that your plants won’t be
sprayed by the detergents.
ALWAYS use this start up procedure to ensure that the unit is
started safely and properly.
If water has frozen in the pressure
washer, thaw the pressure washer in a
warm room before starting. DO NOT pour hot water on or
into the pump; internal parts will be damaged.
1. Check engine oil levels. Add oil as necessary.
2. Check fuel level. Add unleaded gasoline (rated 86 octane or
higher) as required
DO NOT refuel a hot engine. Refueling a
hot engine could cause a fire. Use only
fresh, clean regular or unleaded gasoline. Close the fuel
shutoff valve during refueling.
3. Attach a garden hose to the inlet side of the pump and
connect it to the water supply. Use a hose with an internal
diameter (I.D.) of 5/8” (1.58 cm) and a length of 50 ft. (15 m) or
less.
Some local plumbing codes require
backflow prevention when connecting to
a fresh water supply. Install a backflow preventer upstream
from the pump if necessary.
a. If inlet water pressure is over 100 psi, install a regulating
water valve at the garden hose connection.
b. Do not exceed 100˚ F (38˚ C) inlet water temperature.
NOTE: The inlet water supply must have a minimum flow rate of
5 gpm (19 lpm).
4. Turn the water supply ON.
Never run the unit dry. Be sure the water
supply is completely turned on before
operating the unit.
5. Trigger the gun until water sprays from the tip indicating
that all air is purged from the system. Set the trigger safety
latch.
6. Push the primer bulb three or four times (See Figure 12).
Move the throttle fully to the right to the Run or Rabbit
position.
7. Start the engine (See Figure 13). Unlock the trigger safety
latch on the gun. Grasp the starter rope and brace one foot on
the chassis. While squeezing the trigger on the gun, pull the
starter rope rapidly and firmly (See Figure 13). Continue
holding the rope as it returns. Repeat these steps until the
engine starts.
When pulling the starter rope, make sure
to keep your hand and arm clear of the
engine and cart components.
Never let the starter rope return by itself.
Doing so could jam the recoil system.
8. If the engine does not start after two or three pulls or if the
rope is hard to pull, squeeze the gun trigger to release the
pressure that has built up in the high pressure hose. Repeat
Steps 7 and 8 until the engine starts.
