IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read all safety and operating instructions before using unit.

2. Read warnings on additive containers.

3. Ventilate work area when using toxic or pungent additives to reduce your exposure to toxic fumes.

5. Be careful of slippery floors. Some additives make a normally safe area extremely slippery and
dangerous.

6. Keep children away from the machine and wash area.

7. Do not change nozzle size. Each machine is designed to operate with a specific size nozzle. An incorrect
nozzle could cause excessive pressure resulting in pump damage and possi ble personal injury. Refer to
parts list for correct nozzle size.

12. Whenever you stop spraying, always engage the safety latch on the trigger gun.

13. When changing nozzles, always turn the engine off and always relieve the pressure by triggering the gun.
Always engage the safety latch on the trigger gun. Always change the nozzle with the gun and wand
pointed away from you, and never pointed at any person or animal.

14. Keep flammable items (fuel, matches, etc.) away from engine while running or when it is hot.

15. DO NOT smoke when handling fuel.

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When unpacking the unit, if you find damage due to shipping, contact Goodway Technologies immediately.

INCOMING WATER SUPPLY

Connect a garden hose to the water inlet of the unit. The water supply must be able to deliver 8 gallons per
minute at a minimum pressure of 5 psi.

OUTGOING (HIGH PRESSURE) WATER

To the water outlet fitting, connect the high pressure hose, trigger gun, extension and a nozzle.

PUMP – OIL

Before operating the pump, check to see that the oil is level with the dot on the sight gauge which is located at
the rear of the pump. The oil level can also be checked using the dipstick which is attached to the oil filler cap.
Ensure that the vent hole in the cap/dipstick is clear of dirt. When oil is required, use #20 or #30 non-d etergent
heavy duty oil.

BURNER – FUEL

FILL THE BURNER FUEL TANK WITH #1 OR #2 DIESEL FUEL ONLY

WARNING

DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL, ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE,

OR ANY OTHER VOLATILE SUBSTANCE FOR THE BURNER.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER

Make sure that the burner switch is “OFF”
Connect water supply to the Washer. Turn on the water. Pull the trigger to allow water to run through the unit
expelling all air.

CAUTION

NEVER RUN THE WASHER WITHOUT WATER TURNED ON.

PUMP DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Ensure the engine tank is full of gasoline.
Hold securely and open the Trigger gun to reduce the load on the engine

CAUTION

THE FORCE OF THE WATER LEAVING THE NOZZLE CAUSES

A “KICK-BACK” OR RECOIL AT THE TRIGGER GUN.

Turn the Engine Switch on.
Adjust the choke if necessary
Pull the rope to start engine
Advance the throttle to bring the engine to full speed. Turn off choke

BURNER START UP

Turn Burner Switch to “ON”
The burner will start. Adjust the thermostat to obtain desired water temperature.

(SEE NEXT PAGE FOR DETAILED BURNER START UP INSTRUCTIONS)

CAUTION

DO NOT RUN THE FUEL PUMP DRY. ALWAYS CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE

TANK BEFORE RUNNING THE WASHER

CHANGING PRESSURE

The variable Unloader Valve is already set to full pressure. Do not adjust the Unloader past the maximum
pressure, as this will not increase the performance, and the excessive shut-off pressure will damage the
Washer.

CLEANING CHEMICALS

These pressure washers have a chemical injector. To use, put a liquid cleaner (such as APC-100 available
form Goodway) into the supplied soap container. Drop the pick-up hose with strainer into the container.
Replace the quick connect nozzle with the black low pressure nozzle. Soap will now be drawn into the water.
To stop chemical injection replace the low pressure nozzle with one of the three high pressu re nozzles.

STOPPING THE WASHER

Turn off Burner Switch.
Pump cold water through the Washer for two minutes to flush out any remaining chemical (if used) and to cool
down all components.
Slow the engine to an idle and turn off the engine
