IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS:
1. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the

RISK OF INJECTION OR SEVERE CUTTING INJURY
KEEP CLEAR OF NOZZLE
DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE STREAM AT PERSONS OR PETS
WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. Read all instructions before using the product.
2. KEEP AWAY FROM THE SPRAY:
-Because of the high pressure and velocity of the spray, fluids can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
-Never point the gun at yourself or anyone else. Never put your hand,
fingers or body directly over the spray nozzle. Always keep operating area
clear of all persons. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
-If an accident does occur and the spray appears to have penetrated the
skin, SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT TREAT AS A
SIMPLE CUT. If you are using cleaning agents, be prepared to tell a
physician exactly what kind.
3. ALWAYS wear protective goggles when operating the unit to shield the
eyes from flying debris and detergents. Other protective equipment such
as rubber suits, gloves and respirators are advisable, especially when using
cleaning detergents. Use extreme caution when operating near children.
4. Stay alert-watch what you are doing. Do not operate the unit when fatigued
or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
5. NEVER squeeze the trigger unless securely braced. The thrust from the
water traveling through the nozzle may be powerful enough to cause the
operator to lose balance if unprepared. DO NOT overreach or stand on
unstable support. Wet surfaces can be slippery, wear protective foot gear
and keep good footing and balance at all times. NEVER trigger the gun while
on a ladder or roof.
6. Caution should be used when directing spray toward fragile materials such
as glass. Shattering could result in serious injury.
7. ALWAYS hold on firmly to the gun/wand assembly when starting and

WATER SUPPLY:
1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose
measuring at least 3/4" ID and no longer than 50 feet.
2 Check the water inlet strainer (2) to ensure it is clean and free of any
obstructions. Periodic cleaning of the water strainer will help prevent pump
problems. As a strainer becomes obstructed, it restricts proper flow of
water to the pump. This can result in cavitations which will cause premature
failure of pump packings. Using a screw driver, remove the screen and clean
or replace. Using a screwdriver, remove the strainer from the unit. Clean or
replace with Nilfisk-Advance #56632999 if necessary.
3. Connect the hoses:
a. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the water inlet (1) of the
unit.
b. Connect the other end of the hose to your pressurized water supply.
NOTE: Do not use a non-pressurized water supply (i.e. well or pond water) with
this unit.
c. Screw-connect the high pressure discharge hose (13) to the water
outlet of the unit.
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 pounds per square
inch (PSI) and a maximum of 125 PSI. (A typical outdoor faucet
will generally supply this PSI if turned completely "ON")
b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more than the
outgoing GPM stated on the pressure washer nameplate. (You
can check GPM by timing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon
container)
c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 70°F/21°C.
Excessive pump damage may result if the water temperature
exceeds this acceptable level.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRIMING THE PUMP:
1. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water
supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.
2. Lay the high pressure hose out to release any kinks. Water flow will constrict
the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.
3. Securely connect the gun assembly to the high pressure hose.
NOTE: The nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly at
this time. (See "Trigger Gun", pg. 11)
4. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, turn the water supply
completely on. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and
squeeze the trigger.
5. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly. This allows
the unit to prime and purge any air from the system. The unit is primed when
water flow is uninterrupted by air.
6. Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the "OFF"
position. Securely connect the nozzle assembly. (See "Trigger Gun", pg. 11)
START-UP:
1. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2. Find the Safety Decals on your unit and heed the warnings. (8, 9, 12 & 15)
3. With the gun locked in the "OFF" position, point the trigger gun away from
yourself or anyone else. Ensure water supply is turned completely on.
4. Disengage the safety lock-off on the gun and squeeze the trigger. Low pressure
water will begin flowing from the nozzle. Before starting the unit, brace yourself
as the gun will kickback from the high pressure created by the pump once the
unit has started.
5. Move the On/Off Switch to the "ON" position. This switch includes a circuit
breaker for protection of the motor. In case of excess load, the circuit breaker
will automatically move the switch to the "OFF" position. To restart, move the
On/Off Switch to the "ON" position again.
6. Once the unit is turned on, perform the following procedures:
a. Inspect for system water leaks and oil leaks. If a leak is found, TURN UNIT
OFF IMMEDIATELY! 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 Nilfisk-Advance Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hose and electrical cord for kinking, cuts or leaks.
If a cut or leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE OR CORD AT CUT OR
LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose or cord before
restarting the unit. See "Miscellaneous Safety Precautions #6,pg. 6. 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
Nilfisk-Advance Customer Service.
7. Trigger the gun several times and try adjusting the spray pattern.
to LOCK the trigger gun in the "OFF" position whenever moving the adjustable
nozzle. NEVER 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 packing seals, resulting in costly pump repair.
9. Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray and a variety of
spray patterns, there are many cleaning jobs that can be done without the use
of detergents. If a cleaning agent is required, see "Cleaning With Detergents"
pg. 15 for the correct procedures.
Be certain

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS:
1. Refer to "Detergent Cleaning Precautions" pg. 6 before working with
detergents. Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 10.
2. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions.
3. Connect the detergent hose (4) to the unit as shown on page 8.
4. Immerse the strainer into the detergent solution to allow detergent to
siphon.
5. Be certain the water supply is completely turned "ON".
6. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, push the nozzle cover
at the end of the wand away from the trigger gun for low pressure.
7. To apply solution, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a few
moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the low pressure 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. DO NOT allow detergent solution to dry
on the surface.
8. To rinse: lock the trigger gun in the "OFF" position, pull the nozzle cover
at the end of the wand toward the gun. 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.
NEW-2.PIC/D1
9. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection
system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or
detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.
