OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FLUSHING THE SYSTEM:
This unit has a steel coil which, after setting, will cause the water remaining in the coil from the previous usage to turn brown or black. This water must be flushed from the system before start-up. This procedure should be performed without the high pressure hose, gun and dual lance assembly installed.
1.Turn on the water supply.
2.Move the switch to the "Pump" position. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the water outlet. This allows the unit to flush any particles from the system. The unit is flushed when the water is clear.
3.Once the system is flushed, move the switch to the "OFF" position and connect the high pressure hose to the water outlet of the unit.
4.Connect the trigger gun and dual lance assembly to the high pressure hose.
CAUTION
RISK OF UNIT DAMAGE.
BE CERTAIN THE HOSE, GUN & DUAL LANCE ASSY. ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE UNIT WHILE FLUSHING THE SYSTEM. FLUSHING ALLOWS MINERAL DEPOSITS TO BE RELEASED FROM THE SYSTEM WHICH WOULD OBSTRUCT OR DAMAGE THE GUN AND NOZZLEASSEMBLYRESULTING IN COSTLY REPAIRS.
START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION:
1.Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2.Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3.Ensure that the switch is in the "OFF" position.
4.Pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. Brace yourself for possible gun kickback when the pump starts.
5.Move the switch to the "Pump" position.
6.Once the unit has started, perform the following procedures with the gun open:
a. |
Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. |
|
If a fuel leak is found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See "Risk of |
|
Explosion or Fire", pg. 5. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced |
|
and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of |
|
the unit. If you require service, contact Customer Service. |
b. |
Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. |
|

|
parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected |
|
prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Customer |
|
Service. |
7.At this point, the unit is operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger the gun several times and try adjusting the water pressure by rotating the grip on the dual lance. NEVER place hand or fingers in front of the nozzle or look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe injury!
8.Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple rule can cause premature failure of pump packings, resulting in costly pump repair.
NOTE: If this unit is equipped with an Auto Start/Stop feature, the pressure washer will shutdown if the gun is not triggered after a designated amount of time. The pressure washer will start again once the gun is triggered. The Auto Start/Stop feature is preset at the factory for shutdown at 90 seconds. It can be adjusted by an Authorized Service Technician to shutdown from no usage after a minimum of 3 seconds to a maximum of 5 minutes.

WARNING
RISK OF BURN!
THE WATER TEMPERATURE COULD BECOME VERY HOT DURING HOT WATER/STEAM OPERATION. BE CAUTIOUS WHEN ADJUSTING PRESSURE ORCONTROLLINGTHETRIGGER GUN/DUAL LANCE ASSEMBLY.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOT WATER OPERATION:
1.Follow the steps 1-8 outlined for "START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION".
2.Move the switch to the "Burner" position. On initial start-up, water will begin turning hot in approximately 20 seconds and will reach maximum temperature in approximately 2-1/2 minutes, provided the trigger remains squeezed. The burner will stop firing when the trigger is released.
NOTE: While spraying, it is normal for the burner to fire intermittently. The high limit switch will cause combustion to cease when the temperature of the discharged water exceeds the temperature setting of the switch. Combustion will begin again when the water temperature drops below the minimum setting .
At this point, the unit is operating as a hot water pressure washer. Be extremely cautious when adjusting the pressure and controlling the trigger gun/dual lance assembly to avoid the possibility of burns.
STEAM OPERATION:
1.Follow steps 1-8 outlined for "STARTUP/COLD WATER OPERATION".
2.Ensure the quick-connect at the end of the dual lance is cool enough to touch, then remove the high pressure nozzle and replace it with the steam nozzle. Remove the high pressure hose and replace it with the steam hose.
3.Turn unloader knob completely counterclockwise to the minimum setting.
4.Turn the switch to "Steam".
NOTE: The burner will shut down if the switch is moved to "Steam" without first setting the unloader to minimum or operating in the high pressure mode.)
At this point, the unit will operate as a steam pressure washer. Be extremely cautious when adjusting the pressure and controlling the trigger gun/dual lance assembly to avoid the possibility of burns.
CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS:
NOTE: This feature is designed for use with mild detergents only. Since the cleaning solution travels through various parts of the pressure washer, do not use corrosives as they will cause extensive damage as well as pose a considerable safety hazard.
1.Refer to "Risk of Bodily Injury / Detergents" pg. 7. Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 12.
DETERGENT METERING VALVE

2.Preparedetergentsolutionaccordingtolabeldirections. (Neverpumpacids, alkalines, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. Due to the unknown and often corrosive characteristics of many detergents commonly used in the pressure washer cleaning industry, it is recommended to use only mild detergents with this unit.)
3.Fully immerse the strainer end of the clear vinyl detergent hose into the detergent solution.
4.Adjusttheamountofdetergentdesired. Turnthemeteringvalvecompletely counterclockwise to set at maximum siphon rate.
5.To apply solution; unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the nozzle. Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move up, using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid streaking. Allow to soak briefly. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimizethechancesofthedetergentdrying,whichmayresultindamaging surfaces. Be certain to apply cleaning solution to a small section at a time.
6.To rinse; lock the trigger gun in the "OFF" position, turn the detergent metering valve to the "OFF" position. Unlock the trigger gun and spray. It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line. For best rinsing results, start at the top and work down.
7.Siphon a gallon of water through the detergent injection system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.John Deere Operator's Manual
