INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition
that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Charles XI ordered the construction of a factory
on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production of muskets. The location was logical, since
waterpower was harnessed from the Husqvarna River to create the water-powered plant. During
the more than 300 years of being, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products,
from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. In
1956, the first motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is
within this area Husqvarna is working today.
Today, Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products,
with quality as our highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market
motor driven products for forestry and gardening, as well as for the building and construction
industry. Husqvarna’s aim is also to be in the front edge according to ergonomics, usability, security
and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different features
to provide our products within these areas.
We are convinced that you will appreciate, with great satisfaction, the quality and performance of
our product for a very long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to
professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells
your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest service
workshop.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a
long time. Think of this operator’s manual as a valuable document. By following its’ content (using,
service, maintenance, etc) the life span and the second-hand value of the machine can be
extended. If you will sell this machine, make sure that the buyer will get the operator’s manual.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to
modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I start my pressure
washer?
1. Make sure you have gas and oil in the engine.
2. Turn the water on, then squeeze the trigger on
the gun to make sure the water will flow
smoothly out of the nozzle or tip.
3. Put the engine throttle control in the
“Fast/Start” position. Set the fuel valve to “ON”
Set the On/Off switch to “ON” (if applicable).
4. Close the choke.
5. Squeeze and hold the trigger (to relieve any
back pressure in the pump) while pulling the
starter cord.
6. If the engine does not start after three tries, see
Troubleshooting Section (Pages 20-21).
What type of oil do I use?
ENGINE
THE ENGINE DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL. For
engine oil types and quantities refer to Pages 16
and 19 of this manual and also refer to the included
engine owner’s manual for oil changing instructions.
PUMP
See Page 17 for pump oil types and quantities.
Please note the 5525PW model has a pump that is
sealed and does not require service.
Why don’t I have any water
pressure?
• Is the water hose attached to the pressure
washer?
• Is the water turned on?
• Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the
hoses, fittings, or the nozzle.
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and
remove debris if needed.
• Is the quick connect tip in place? (See Page 9.)
How do I get high pressure?
• Use any color tip except black. The black tip is
only used for low pressure detergent application.
How do I get the soap
suction to work?
For Detergent Tanks:
1. Attach clear plastic tube to plastic barb on
detergent tank (see Figure 2).
2. Fill detergent tank with detergent formulated
for use with pressure washers.
3. Install the black spray tip to apply low pressure
detergent.
For Other Units:
1. Attach clear plastic tube to brass barb on pump
(see Figure 3).
2. Put the other filter end of the clear tube into
the detergent container.
3. Install the black spray tip to apply low pressure
detergent.
Why doesn’t the pressure
washer apply detergents
with high pressure?
The reason you don’t apply detergents with high
pressure is that the detergents “bounce” off the
cleaning surface as fast as you apply them.
Detergent is only effective when you allow it time
to work on the surface of whatever you are
cleaning. You can only apply detergent at low
pressure, wait 1-3 minutes to allow it to work, and
rinse the surface with high pressure.
What maintenance do I
need to perform on my
pressure washer?
1. After turning off the pressure washer and the
water, depressurize the hose by triggering the
gun.
2. Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose
from the pump.
3. Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge
water from the pump. This will help protect the
pump from damage.
4. DO NOT store your pressure washer in an area
where the temperature will drop below 32˚F /
0˚C) unless pressure washer is properly
winterized (see Page 15).
Where can I buy accessories
for my pressure washer?
• Call your local Husqvarna Dealer.
