START-UP AND OPERATION INTRODUCTION

1. Verify that the vented YELLOW dip stick is installed in
pressure washer pump. Remove the RED shipping plug

( if present ) from top of the pump and replace it with the
YELLOW oil level dipstick provided. Fig. 1

2. Before first use, check engine and pump oil levels.
Note: For shipping purposes, engine oil has not been

added.

Before each use, check engine oil level by unscrewing
the oil dipstick. Add motor oil (consult Honda manual
for correct grade) as required to bring to proper level,
approximately mid-way on dipstick.

3. Check water supply volume. To operate correctly, the unit
requires a water supply 25% greater than the units output.
( i.e. PW2700SC = 3 GPM, PW2000SC = 3.75 GPM of
water flow).
To test water supply output;
a) Turn water flow to full maximum output.
b) Place a 5 gallon pail or container under water flow for

exactly 1 minute ( 60 seconds).

c) Measure contents to determine water flow.

4. Connect a standard garden hose to the water inlet or
bottom connection on the pump head ( Female hose
connector ). Fig. 2.

5. Connect the high pressure hose to the water “Outlet”
or upper connection on the pump head.
( Male quick connect nipple). Fig. 2.

6. Turn the unloader knob on top of the pump head counter­ clockwise to reduce the pressure prior to starting the
machine.

7. Select the desired tip for the job. Insert tip into wand
