Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from
starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the
skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of
an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you
D Are instructed to relieve the pressure
D Stop spraying for more than 10 minutes
D Check or service any of the system equipment
D Install or clean the spray nozzle
1. Engage the trigger safety latch.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Pull the plug wire off the spark plug.
4. Shut off the water supply.
5. Disengage the trigger safety latch, and trigger the
gun to relieve pressure. Then engage the trigger
safety latch again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, disengage the trigger
safety latch, and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
Wrap a rag around the hose end coupling, and veryslowly loosen the coupling to relieve pressure
gradually, then loosen it completely, and clear the tip or
hose.
Operating Cautions
Always observe the following CAUTIONS when
operating the pressure washer to avoid costly damage
to the pressure washer.
CAUTION
Do not allow the pressure washer to idle for more
than 10 minutes. Doing so could cause the
recirculating water to overheat and seriously
damage the pump. Turn off the pressure washer if
it will not be spraying for 10 minutes. If heatedinlet water is used, reduce this time further . Do
not operate the pressure washer with the inlet
water screen removed; the screen helps keep
abrasive sediment out of the pump, which could
clog the pump or damage the cylinders. Keep the
screen clean. Do not pump caustic materials
through the pump; such materials could corrode the
pump components. However, it is safe to pump
antifreeze through the pump for cold-weather
transport and storage.
Trigger Safety Latch
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including
fluid injection and splashing in the eyes or on the
skin, always engage the trigger safety latch when
you stop spraying, even for a moment. In the
engaged position, the trigger safety latch prevents
the gun from being triggered accidentally by hand
or if it is dropped or bumped. Be sure the latch is
pushed fully down to prevent the gun from being
triggered. See Fig. 2.
WARNING
PRESSURE INDICATED ON GAUGE
The pressure gauge (shown in Fig. 1) indicates the
spraying pressure when the gun is triggered and
the bypass pressure when the gun is not triggered.
Pressure at the gun may be significantly higher
than the bypass pressure indicated on the pressure
gauge. Therefore, always follow the PressureRelief Procedure above regardless of the
pressure indicated on the gauge.

Operation
Startup
Always use this startup procedure to ensure that the
unit is started safely and properly.
1. Check the oil levels.
NOTE: All units are equipped with a low-oil sensor
that shuts the engine off if the oil level falls below a
certain level. If the unit stops unexpectedly, check the
oil and the fuel levels. Check the oil level each time
the unit is refueled.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not refuel a hot engine. Refueling a
hot engine could cause a fire. Use only
fresh and clean regular or unleaded gasoline.
Close the fuel shutoff valve when refueling.
2. Check the fuel level.
CAUTION
Never run the unit dry. Costly damage to the pump
will result. Always be sure the water supply is
completely turned on before operating.
6. Pull the starter rope to start the engine. Brace one
foot on the pressure washer cart, and pull the
starter rope out quickly. Pull and return the rope
until the engine starts.
CAUTION
Do not allow the starter rope to snap back against
the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to
the recoil mechanism.
NOTE: For easier starting, have one person start
the engine while another person triggers the spray
gun.
If the engine is cold, start the engine with the
choke completely closed. In cool weather, you
might have to let the engine run with the choke
closed for the first 20 to 30 seconds, then open it
completely. In warm weather, open the choke
completely as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is warm, start the engine with the
choke completely open or partially closed. When
the engine starts, open the choke completely.
Chemical Injector Operation
NOTE: See manual 308513 for detailed chemical
injector operation and service instructions.
3. Turn on the water supply.
4. Trigger the gun until water sprays from the tip
indicating that the air is purged from the system.
5. Open the fuel shutoff valve. Be sure the spark
plug ignition cable is pushed firmly onto the spark
plug. Put the switch in the ON position, and put
the throttle in the RUN position.
1.
2. Insert the chemical filter (attached with clear tubing
to the chemical injector) into the container of
chemical.
3. Install the black, large-orifice chemical tip (see
Installing and Changing Spray T ips on
page 7).
The large orifice of the chemical injector tip causes
a drop in pressure that actuates the chemical
injector. Changing back to a small diameter spray
tip deactivates the chemical injector and produces
high pressure for rinsing. The chemical filter can
be left in the chemical container during
high-pressure use. To regulate the flow rate of the
chemical, turn the chemical adjustment knob on
the injector. Maximum chemical flow is two full
turns counterclockwise from the closed (clockwise)
position.
Relieve the pressure.
