Frequently Asked Questions
Pressure Washer
How do I start my pressure
washer?
1. Make sure you have gas and oil in the engine. The
engine DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL.
2. Turn the water on, then trigger the gun to make
sure the water will flow smoothly out of the tip.
3. Open the fuel shutoff valve by turning the knob counterclockwise until it stops.
4. Close the choke (if engine is cold) by moving the
choke ring fully to the right.
5. Set the shut off switch to “ON.”
6. Pull the trigger (to relieve any back pressure in the
pump) while pulling the starter cord.
What type of oil do I use?
ENGINE DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL: See Page 10 for
engine oil types, quantities, and oil changing instructions.
Pump: The pump comes filled with the correct amount of
oil and should not need changing or filling.
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 15º (yellow) spray tip inserted into the end of
the lance (See Page 8)?
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and
remove debris if needed.
How do I get high pressure?
• For high pressure, insert the 15º (yellow) spray tip
into the end of the lance (See Page 8).
How do I get the soap suction to
work?
1. Attach clear plastic tube to barb on pump (see Figure
2 on page 5).
2. Put the other filter end of the clear tube into the
detergent container.
3. Install the black spray tip to apply low pressure detergent.
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.
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.
5. Follow proper storage and winterizing instructions
found on page 9.

Operation
Pressure Washer
1. SURFACE PREPARATION
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.
2. START UP
ALWAYS use the following 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.
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 inch (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 smoothly from the tip
indicating that all air is purged from the system. Lock the
trigger safety latch.
6. Open the fuel valve by turning the knob counterclockwise
until it stops. Close the choke (if engine is cold) by moving
the choke ring fully to the right. Turn the ignition switch
to “ON”.
7. Start the engine. Unlock the trigger safety latch on the
gun (See Figure 9). Grasp the starter rope and brace one
foot on the chassis. Point the gun in a safe direction.
While squeezing the trigger on the gun, pull the starter
rope rapidly and firmly (See Figure 10). Continue holding
the rope as it returns. Repeat these steps until the engine
starts.
Figure 10 - Start the engine
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.
3. INITIAL HIGH PRESSURE RINSE
Spray the cleaning surface with water to clear off any dirt or
grime that may have collected on the surface. Doing so allows
the detergent to attack the deep down dirt that has worked
its way into the cleaning surface.
ANGLE TO THE CLEANING SURFACE
When spraying water against a surface, you can generate
maximum impact by striking the surface head on. However,
this type of impact can cause dirt particles to embed in the
surface and can prevent the desired cleaning action.
The optimum angle for spraying water against a cleaning
surface is 45 degrees (See Figure 11).
Spray water against a surface at a 45 degree angle to achieve
the most beneficial impact force and to efficiently remove
debris.
7
www.chpower.com
Pressure Washer
Operation
Figure 11 - Optimum angle to cleaning
surface
DISTANCE FROM CLEANING SURFACE
The distance between the spray tip and the cleaning surface is
another factor that affects the impact force of the water. The
impact force of the water increases as the tip is moved closer
to the surface.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the impact force
of the water exceeds the durability of the surface. You can
vary the impact force by controlling the spray tip angle to the
cleaning surface and the distance from the cleaning surface
and by changing the spray tip. NEVER use a narrow high
impact stream on a surface that is susceptible to damage.
Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impact stream.
Doing so may break the window. The most sure way to avoid
damaging surfaces is to follow these steps:
1. Before triggering the gun, make sure the quick connect tip
you are using is appropriate for the application.
2. Place the spray tip approximately 4-5 feet (1,22-1,52 m)
away from the cleaning surface. Then hold the lance and
spray tip at a 45 degree angle to the cleaning surface.
Trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the
cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is
achieved without damaging the surface.
The color of the tip shows what spray angle it is:
Red – 0º – Maximum Duty *
Yellow – 15º – Heavy Duty *
Green – 25º – General Duty *
White – 40º – Light Duty *
Black – 65º – Low Pressure Detergent
* = Not Included
NOTE: Use orifice size 2.5
4. DETERGENT APPLICATION
NOTE: Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers.
Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
DETERGENTS
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time
and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Many detergents
are customized for pressure washer use on specific cleaning
tasks. Pressure washer detergents are as thick as water. Using
thicker detergents – like dish soap – will clog the chemical
injection system and prevent the application of the detergent.
Once applied to a cleaning surface, detergents take time
to break down dirt and grime. Detergents work best when
applied at low pressure.
You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the chemical
action of detergents with high pressure rinses. On vertical
surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work
your way upward. This method prevents the detergent from
sliding down and causing streaks. Begin high pressure rinsing
at the bottom and work your way upward. On particularly
tough stains, use a brush in combination with detergents and
high pressure rinsing.
1. Follow manufacturer’s label directions for mixing correct
concentrations of soap/detergents. The soap detergent to
water ratio through the pump is approximately 12% (1 to
8).
2. Insert the filter end of the clear plastic detergent tube into
the detergent container.
3. Install 65º (Black) Low Pressure Detergent Tip in the quick
connect fitting on the end of the lance.
NEVER replace quick connect tip when
gun is triggered. Always engage trigger
lock on gun before removing or installing quick connect tips.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
1. Apply the detergent so that it thoroughly covers the
cleaning surface. Apply the detergent from bottom to top
to prevent the detergent from sliding down and streaking.
Wait a couple of minutes for the detergent to break down
the dirt and grime. Use a brush to lightly scrub heavily
soiled areas. Never allow the detergent to dry on the
cleaning surface.
2. Replace black 65º quick connect tip with the yellow 15º tip
and complete final rinse.
NEVER replace quick connect tip when
gun is triggered. Always engage trigger
lock on gun before removing or installing quick connect tips.
3. NOTE: After using detergents, flush the suction system by
placing the detergent suction tube into a bucket of clean
water and running unit with black 65º tip flushing clean
water from tank through the pump.

Pressure Washer
5. CLEANING POWER
The easiest way to regulate the cleaning power of your
pressure washer is by changing the distance from the surface
you are cleaning. Begin spraying while standing several feet
from the surface. Slowly move closer to the object you are
cleaning until you find the most effective cleaning technique.
6. FINAL RINSE
The final rinse should start at the bottom and work upward.
Make sure that you thoroughly rinse the surface and that you
remove all detergent.
7. PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
To reduce the risk of bodily injury or property damage, always
follow this procedure whenever spraying is stopped, when
work is completed, and before checking or repairing any part
of the system.
1. Engage the trigger safety latch.
2. Turn the unit off.
3. Shut off the water supply.
4. Disengage the trigger safety latch and trigger the gun to

6. When checking or repairing unit, remove the ignition
cable from the spark plug..
7. Before overnight storage, long term storage, or
transporting unit, disconnect the water supply and turn
off the fuel supply valve.
8. SHUTDOWN
1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from system.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
3 Turn the water supply OFF.
4. After the engine and water supply are turned off, trigger
the gun to depressurize the system.
NEVER turn the water supply off before
turning the engine/motor off. Serious
damage could occur to the pump and/or engine/motor.
NEVER disconnect the high pressure
discharge hose from the machine while
the system is pressurized. To depressurize, turn engine/motor
off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times.
5. After each use, wipe all surfaces of the pressure washer
with a clean, damp cloth.
• Do not store the pressure washer outdoors.
• Do not store the pressure washer where it might freeze
unless it has been properly winterized.
9. STORAGE
LONG TERM STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS (MORE THAN 30
DAYS IN STORAGE)
1. Remove fuel from the tank and run the pressure washer
in a normal operating mode until the engine stops from
