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.
Detergent injection system: Mixes
cleaning solution 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 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 amount of
pressure will be applied to 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
detergent/cleaning solutions 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
DO NOT direct discharge stream
toward persons.
For high pressure operation, pull back
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown in Fig. 9.

with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to
penetrate human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other
serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can
result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE
CUT! See a physician immediately!
NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below top of tank to provide
space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment
before starting engine.
NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
NEVER carry pressure washer with engine running, turn engine off and allow
it to cool before carrying pressure washer.
DO NOT let hoses come in contact with hot engine muffler during or
immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact
with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
DO NOT
use hot water, use cold water only.
NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or
damage to pump will result.
DO NOT
