The following Safety Precautions apply whenever using,

storing or servicing Coleman® Powermate® Pressure Washers
or their engines to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
Overlooking or ignoring these precautions can lead to personal
injury or product damage.

•Read this manual carefully. Know your equipment.
Consider applications, potential hazards and
limitations for your unit.

•Do not touch nozzle or water spray while operating.

•Wear safety goggles while operating.

•Only approved hoses and nozzles should be used.

•The trigger gun must not be jammed in position
during operation.

•Know your equipment. Consider the applications,
limitations, and the potential hazards specific to your
unit.

•Store the Pressure washer in a well ventilated area
with the fuel tank empty. Fuel should not be stored
near the pressure washer.

a.A noticeable change in engine speed.
b.A noticeable loss of pressure.
c.The engine misfires.
d.Smoke or flames are present.
e.Enclosed compartment.
f.Excessive vibration.
g.Rain or inclement weather.

•Water spray must never be directed towards any
electric wiring or directly towards the pressure
washer.

•Do not allow the hose to come in contact with hot
muffler.

•Equipment must be placed on a firm, supporting
surface.

•Never tie knots or kink the high pressure hose.

•All hose connections must be properly sealed.

•Prior to starting the pressure washer in cold weather,
be sure ice has not formed in any part of the
equipment.

•Use only recommended chemicals.

•Outdoors use only.

•Place the pressure washer away from cleaning site
during operation.

•To prevent accidental discharge, the spray gun should
be secured by locking trigger when not in use.

•Do not run the pressure washer for more than five
minutes without depressing the trigger or damage to
the pump may result.

•Check the fuel system periodically for leaks or signs
of deterioration such as chafed or spongy hose, loose
or missing clamps, or damaged tank or cap. All
defects should be corrected before operation.

•Remove the spark plug or cable from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting, when not in use, or
prior to detaching the high pressure hose.

•Keep the pressure washer clean and free of oil, mud
and other foreign matter.

•Do not wear loose clothing , jewelry, or anything that

THERMAL RELIEF VALVE

A thermal relief valve is provided to protect the pump
from overheating if the spray gun is closed for an extended
length of time or the nozzle becomes plugged. However, it is
intended to be used as a backup system and every effort
should be made to not permit the pump to heat up.

We recommend turning the pressure washer off if it will
not be used for more than five minutes. This saves wear on
the unit, reduces fuel consumption and extends the life of the
pump by avoiding heat.

SAFETY LOCK OFF LATCH

To prevent accidental discharge of high pressure water,
the safety latch on the trigger should be engaged whenever the
pressure washer is not in use. (Refer to Operating
Instructions.)

LOW-OIL SHUTDOWN

The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the engine
oil level becomes lower than required, the pressure washer
will automatically shut off. This protects your pressure
washer engine from operating without proper lubrication.

If the pressure washer engine shuts off and the oil level is
according to specification, check to see if the pressure washer
is setting at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an even
surface to correct this. If the engine fails to start, the oil level
may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch. Be
sure the sump is completely full of oil.

Consult the factory for special requirements that must be met
if the pump is to operate beyond one or more of the limits
specified above.

HIGH PRESSURE/LOW PRESSURE

The high pressure nozzle position is intended for cleaning.
When high pressure is required, grasp collar and slide the
collar and nozzle toward the gun.

NOTE: Make sure the nozzle cover is pulled to the
extreme rear position to lock the nozzle in the high
pressure position.

High Pressure

Low Pressure

The pump will overheat and may be damaged, or cause

BEFORE OPERATION

NOTE: The engine and pump on your Coleman®
Powermate® Pressure Washer will often have improved
performance after a break-in period of several hours.

PRE-START PREPARATION

Before starting the pressure washer, check for loose or
missing parts and for any damage which may have occurred
during shipment.

HOSE AND GUN ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Align threaded connections carefully to
prevent damaging threads during assembly. Tighten
connections securely to prevent leaks during operation.

LUBRICATION

DO NOT attempt to start the pressure washer engine

without filling the engine crank case with the proper amount
and type of oil (See pages 11 and 12 and Figure 2). Your
pressure washer engine has been shipped from the factory
without oil in the engine crankcase. Operating the unit with­out oil will ruin the engine.

The pump has been shipped with oil. Before operating
the pressure washer check the oil level of the pump to make
sure the oil level is to pump manufacturer’s required level.
(See Figure 2). Use oil that is recommended from the pump
manufacturer. DO NOT OVERFILL!

If the pump is not equipped with a dipstick or side glass
window check oil leaks from the pump. Pump oil is shipped
in the pump from factory. Follow pump manufacturer’s
maintenance schedule for proper care.

Attach the hose to the inlet of the trigger gun.

Handle Installation

Install handle and hose hook as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

FUEL

Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive
gasoline. (See Figure 2). Regular grade gasoline may be used
provided a high octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump
octane).

Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury may result from
fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.

Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/2
inch below the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow
expansion in hot weather and prevent overflow.

OPERATING CONNECTIONS

HIGH PRESSURE HOSE

Attach the high pressure hose to the fitting located on the

pump. (See Figure 2, page 6).

NOTE: DO NOT use a high pressure hose from

another manufacturer.

WATER CONNECTION

Before connecting to unit, run water through the garden
hose (not supplied) to flush out any foreign matter. Check that
the screen is clean and is in the inlet of the pump. Attach
garden hose to the pressure washer water inlet. (See Figure 2,
page 6).

NOTE: The water supply must provide a minimum of
4 g.p.m. at 20 p.s.i. or the pump will be damaged.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

START-UP PROCEDURE

1.Make sure water supply is connected and turned on.

2.Release gun safety if locked.

3.To allow air to escape from the hose, squeeze trigger on

the gun until there is a steady stream of water coming

from the nozzle.

4.Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the gun outlet and

the male connector of the wand.

5.Insert the nozzle wand into the gun wand and tighten the

twistfast fitting securely by hand.

CHEMICAL INJECTION

This pressure washer is intended for use only with
liquid car wash detergents, developed specifically for
pressure washer and with mild soaps. We recommend the
use of Coleman® Powermate® Pressure Washer Chemicals.
Only use chemicals compatible with the aluminum and brass
parts of the pressure washer. Powdered soaps may clog the
injection system. Always use chemicals according to
manufacturer directions. Powermate Corporation assumes
no responsibility for any damages caused by chemicals
injected through this pressure washer.

1.Attach injection tube assembly to the siphon injector on
the pump. (See Figure 2, page 6).

2.Open a container of Coleman® Powermate® Pressure
Washer Chemical and place next to the unit near the
injection tube.

3.Visually inspect strainer at the end of the injection tube to
verify that it is not clogged.

4.Insert the injection tube into the container all the way to
the bottom.

5.If chemical injection is adjustable, set injection rate by
turning valve clockwise until it is tight. Then turn valve
counterclockwise to increase injector rate and clockwise
to decrease injector rate.

If the wand is not securely locked into place, it could be
ejected under high pressure when operating the gun,
possibly causing injury or damage.

STARTING THE ENGINE (See Figure 2, page 6)

1.Check oil and fuel level.

2.Adjust choke prime as necessary.

3.Set the engine switch to the “ON” position.

4.Squeeze trigger on pressure washer to release pressure
while pulling on the engine starter rope with a fast steady
pull. Pressure may otherwise build up making starting the
unit difficult.

5.As the engine warms up, readjust the choke.

6.If your pressure washer is equipped with removable
nozzles, remove the high-pressure nozzle from the wand
and install the black injection nozzle. The solution will
automatically be mixed with the water and discharged
through the nozzle.

7.If your pressure washer is equipped with an adjustable
nozzle, the low pressure nozzle position should be used

cover away from the gun.

NOTE:For certain models, if the engine throttle is not in

the “fast” position, the injection of the solution
may be decreased or stopped.

CLEANING TECHNIQUES

Cleaning Techniques

When cleaning with the pressure washer, many cleaning
tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks it is
advantageous to use a detergent also. A detergent ensures a
quick soaking of the dirt allowing the high pressure water to
penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.

Coleman® Powermate® Pressure Washer Chemicals are
specially formulated to be used with your pressure washer.

APPLICATION OF SOAP OR DEGREASER

1.Apply the solution to a DRY work surface.
On a vertical surface, apply horizontally from side to side
starting from the bottom to avoid streaking.

NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to
minimize the chances of the chemical damaging painted
surfaces. Damage may occur to painted surface if
chemical is allowed to dry on the surface. Hold nozzle far
enough away from surface to prevent damage to the
surface.

MAINTENANCE

CONNECTIONS

Connections on pressure washer hoses, gun and spray
wand should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with the
manufacturer’s recommended grease to prevent leakage and
damage to the o-rings.

NOZZLE

If the high pressure/low pressure adjustment of the nozzle
becomes difficult, please contact Coleman® Powermate®
Customer Service Department for proper cleaning and
lubrication procedures.

Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to be too
high and cleaning is immediately required.

A nozzle cleaner must only be used when the spray wand is
disconnected from the gun or personal injury could result.

2.Allow chemical to remain on the surface for a short time
before rinsing.

3.Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a vertical
surface, first rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top
down. Hold nozzle 6 to 8 inches from the work surface at a
45° angle using the flat spray as a peeling tool rather than a
scrub brush.

APPLICATION OF WAX

1.Immediately after cleaning, apply Coleman®
Powermate® Pressure Washer Wax. Place injection tube
in container of wax.

2.Apply the wax sparingly in an even layer. Apply to wet
surfaces from the bottom up for even distribution and to
avoid streaking.

3.Remove the suction tube from the wax bottle and rinse off
the surplus wax.

NOTE: IF SURPLUS WAX IS NOT REMOVED, A
HAZY FINISH MAY RESULT.

4.Wipe dry to reduce water spotting.

END OF OPERATION

End of Operation

When you have completed use of the chemical injection

system, remove tube from container. Continue to run in low
pressure position and inject clean water through the tube and
injection system by placing end of tube in a container of clean
water. Continue to run until it is thoroughly cleaned.

1.Separate the wand from the gun.

2.Clear the nozzle with a small rigid piece of wire such as a
paper clip.

3.Flush the nozzle backwards with water.

4.Reconnect the wand to the gun.

Restart the pressure washer and depress the trigger on the

spray gun. If the nozzle is still plugged or partially plugged,
repeat above items 1-4.

If the previous procedure does not clear the nozzle,

replace with a new nozzle.

WATER SCREEN

The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet screen

to protect the pump. If the screen is not kept clean, it will
restrict the flow of water to the pressure washer and may
cause damage to the pump. Do not damage the screen while
removing or cleaning screen. Any foreign particles entering
the pump may damage the pump. Do not operate pressure
washer without the screen in place.

Remove the screen and back flush to remove impurities

from screen. Replace immediately.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions

may develop which will cause an icing condition in the
carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough, lose
power, and may stall. This temporary condition can be
overcome by deflecting some of the hot air from the engine
over the carburetor area.

NOTE: Refer to pages 11 and 12 for service and

maintenance of the engine.

STORAGE LIMITED WARRANTY

English

PUMP STORAGE

If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the
temperature is below 32°F, you can minimize the chance of damage
to your machine by utilizing the following procedure:

1.Shut off water supply and relieve pressure in the spray gun

by depressing the trigger. Disconnect the garden hose

from the pressure washer, but leave the high-pressure hose

connected.

2.Tip the unit on its side with the inlet connection pointing up.

3.Insert a small funnel (to prevent spilling) into the inlet

and pour in approximately 1/4 cup of RV antifreeze.

4.Disconnect spark plug wire.

5.Without connecting garden hose pull the recoil several

times to circulate the antifreeze in the pump system.

Continue to add antifreeze and pull the recoil until the

antifreeze is expelled when the trigger is pulled.

6.Turn the unit upright.

Prior to restarting, thaw out any possible ice from the
pressure washer hoses, spray gun and wand.

Another method of reducing risks of freeze damage is to drain
your pressure washer as follow:

1.Stop the pressure washer and detach supply hose and high

pressure hose. Squeeze the trigger of the discharge gun to

drain all water from the wand and hose.

2.Restart the pressure washer and let it run briefly (about 5

seconds) until water no longer discharges from the high

pressure outlet.

ENGINE STORAGE

When the pressure washer is not being operated or is being
stored more than one month, follow these instructions:

1.Replenish engine oil to upper level.

2.Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel valve and

carburetor.

3.Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark

plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and replace

the plug. Then pull the starter slowly until you feel

increased pressure which indicates the piston is on its

compression stroke and leave it in that position. This

closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the

inside of the cylinder from rusting.
