D30333

HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND:

Your pressure washer is equipped with a multi-adjustable spray wand with both high and low pressure settings. The high pressure setting is for cleaning and rinsing, the low pressure setting is for applying cleaning solutions to surfaces.

When using the high

pressure setting, DO NOT allow the jet-like spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.

Risk of injection or

injury to person. DO NOT direct discharge stream toward persons.

For high pressure operation, pull back the nozzle of the multi-adjustable spray wand as shown.

TO ADJUST PRESSURE

The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these methods.

1. Back away from the surface to be

cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.

2. Rotate the nozzle at the end of

the multi-adjustable spray wand to widen the fan spray. The wider fan spray will minimize the pressure on the surface to be cleaned.

DO NOT attempt to

increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

HOW TO USE

IMPORTANT: Read and understand how to use the pressure washer before operating.

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.

Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the pump is recirculating water because the trigger of the spray gun is not pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode for more than two (2) minutes, the water temperature will rise to a dangerous level and could damage internal components of the pump. Any damage to pump due to these causes will not be covered under warranty.

DO NOT allow your

unit to operate in bypass mode for more than two minutes at any time. Overheating of pump can cause damage to pump.

Thermal Relief Valve: In an effort to

prevent extreme damage, pumps are equipped with a thermal relief valve. This valve will open when the temperature inside the pump rises too high. This valve will then release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. Immediately after this occurs, the valve will close. The thermal relief valve is part of the pump and is not visible to the user.

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.

D30333

3. Fill cleaning solution tanks with desired cleaning solution. Each tank holds approximately 1.25 gallon. NOTE: The cleaning solution/water ratio is 7:1, for every 7 gallons of water pumped, 1 gallon of cleaning solution will be used.

Never fill cleaning solution tanks with

gasoline or other flammable solvent.

4. Turn control valve knob toward tank with desired cleaning solution.

5. Set multi-adjustable nozzle to low pressure setting. See How To Use Spray Wand paragraph in this section.

6. After use of cleaning solution the chemical injector MUST be rinsed, follow the instructions in the Shutting Down paragraph after each use.

NOTE: Cleaning solutions will not siphon when spray wand is in the high pressure setting.

DUAL TANK CLEANING SOLUTION TIPS

1. Each tank may be filled with different cleaning solutions depending on the task to be performed. Example: deck and driveway. Fill one tank with deck cleaning solution and the other with driveway cleaning solution. Clean the deck with the deck cleaning solution and then simply turn the control knob toward the driveway cleaning solution and clean the driveway.

The nozzle at the end of the multiadjustable spray wand can be rotated to change the high pressure spray pattern from a narrow jet to a 40º fan shape, as shown. Markings have been placed on the nozzle to help you select the spray pattern.

For low pressure operation, extend the nozzle of the multi-adjustable spray wand as shown.

40º fan spray

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Engine Preparation

1. First add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.

2. Run pressure washer for a full 5 minutes to allow fuel stabilizer to enter the fuel system.

engine make sure water supply is turned on and flowing to the unit. NEVER run unit without water supply running through pump. Failure to do so will cause pump damage.

3. Next shut off engine and

disconnect the water supply.

4. Disconnect the spark plug wire

and remove the spark plug.

5. Add one teaspoon of oil through

the spark plug hole.

6. Place rag over spark plug hole and

pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

7. Replace the spark plug, but do not

connect the spark plug wire.

PUMP

1. Drain all water from high pressure hose, coil it, and store it

in cradle of the pressure washer handle.

2. Drain all water from spray gun

and spray wand by holding spray gun in a vertical position with nozzle end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in gun/hose holder.

3. Store chemical injector rinsing hose, high pressure hose, spray

gun, and spray wand so they are protected from damage, such as being run over.

It is recommended that you follow these steps to protect the internal seals of the pressure washer when STORING THE UNIT FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS AND/OR WHEN FREEZING

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.

*RV antifreeze needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.
