READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT
When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high
pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes,
or 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 when engine is running or hot. Do not
smoke when filling fuel tank.
NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck
to pr
ovide 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.
DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or
immediately after use of your pr
essure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with
hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
NEVER pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This
could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
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 r
esult.
DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates
in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pr
essed. If pump is left in bypass
mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be
damaged.

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
pr
essure, it can be accomplished by
these methods.
1. Back away from the surface
to be cleaned. The further away
you ar
e, the less the pressure will
be on the surface to be cleaned.
2.
Change to the 40º nozzle (white) this nozzle delivers a less
powerful str
eam of water and a
wider spray pattern.
DO NOT attempt
to increase pump
pressure. A higher pressure setting
than the factory set pressure may
damage pump.
Bypass Mode: Allows water to
r
e-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 impr
ove 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.
