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

Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within pump when the gun

trigger is not pulled.

Allowing the unit to

run for more than

two minutes without the gun trigger

pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump.

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.

HOW TO USE

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

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 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 chemicals or 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.

The nozzle at the end of the multi-

adjustable spray wand can be rotated

to change the high pressure spray

pattern from a 0° pencil stream to a 40° fan spray, as shown. Markings have been placed on the nozzle to help you select the spray pattern.

The powerful spray from your pressure

washer is capable of causing damage

to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying,

check the item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong

enough to resist damage from the force of the spray.

HOW TO APPLY CHEMICALS

AND CLEANING SOLVENTS

Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation. NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use. Do

not use bleach. To Apply chemicals:

1. Press chemical hose onto barbed

fitting located near high pressure

hose connection of pump as shown.

2. Place other end of chemical hose

with filter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning solution. NOTE:

The chemical/water ratio is 7:1, for

every 7 gallons of water pumped 1 gallon of chemical/cleaning solution

will be used.

3. Install low pressure (black)

nozzle into quick connect fitting of

spray wand, see How To Use Spray Wand paragraph in this section.

4. After use of chemicals, place chemical hose into container of

clean water and draw clean water

through chemical injection system to rinse system thoroughly. If

chemicals remain in the pump it could be damaged. Pumps damaged due to chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon when spray wand is inthe high pressure setting.

TO SHUT DOWN

IMPORTANT: Read and understand how to shut down the pressure

washer before operating.

1. If you have applied chemicals, place chemical hose into container

of clean water and draw clean water through chemical injection

system to rinse system thoroughly. NOTE: Failure to do so could

cause damage to the pump.

ENGINE 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 per-

manent 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.

While preparing the

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 hose, high pressure hose, spray gun, and spray wand so they are protected from dam- age, such as being run over.

IThe manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer when

storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are

expected. If a pump protector/winterizer is not available, *RV antifreeze needs to

be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.

NOTE: Using a pump protector/winterizer or *RV antifreeze is to provide proper

lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or

environment.

Obtain a funnel, six ounces of *RV antifreeze, and approximately 36 inches of garden hose with a male

hose connector attached to one end.

Use only RV antifreeze. Any other

antifreeze is corrosive and can damage pump.

5, Disconnect spark plug wire, 6, Connect 36 inch length of hose to

water inlet of pump.
