washer is equipped with a thermal relief valve. If
water begins to spray from your pump during
operation it is likely because water temperature
has exceeded 140°F. This usually occurs if the
machine is left running during periods(usually 5
minutes or more) of non-use. This is a safeguard
against damage which can occur with high water
temperatures. It is recommended that the engine be
shut down if the pressure washer will not be used
for extended periods.
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER
Certain States and Jurisdictions require that engine
driven equipment be fitted with spark arresting mufflers.
Depending on the model, spark arresting mufflers may
or may not be fitted. If spark arresting mufflers are
required for your specific location and the pressure
washer muffler is not spark arresting, contact your local
dealer for instructions for a retrofit.
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system for this pressure
washer complies to the standards set forth by the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Warranties for
the exhaust emission system are administered by the
respective engine manufacturers. Refer to the engine

factory preset pressure.
Always inspect this machine for damaged, loose or
missing parts before use.
The area of operation should be relatively
obstruction free and very well ventilated.
Always locate this machine on a relatively flat (20%
grade or less) and stable surface before operation.
Use proper parts, which are equivalent to those
provided when new, if performing maintenance or
repairs. Improper parts could cause damage or
reduced performance of your machine.
Always remember that the muffler, engine, and
pump can become very hot during operation and
remain that way for a considerable time.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE. Handle gasoline with extreme
care. Failure to properly handle gasoline can result
in explosion or fire. Do not permit smoking within
50ft of this machine.
NEVER REFILL A HOT OR RUNNING PRESSURE
WASHER WITH FUEL. Spillage onto the engine or
other hot parts could result in an explosion or fire.
Always allow the unit to cool before refilling.
Do not store this machine in any location where
gasoline fumes could potentially come into contact
with sparks, a pilot light or an open flame. Improper
storage could result in an explosion or fire.
Inspect the high pressure hose often. In the event a
hose becomes damaged, discontinue use
immediately and replace with a properly rated hose.
Service or fluid level inspection should be performed
on a level surface only.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
ENGINE FUEL: Use Unleaded Fuel - ONLY!
ENGINE OIL AND MAINTENANCE: Refer to the
Engine related documentation for specifications and
recommended maintenance schedule.
HOSES: Inspect the high pressure hose, garden hose
and chemical hose often. Defects can cause
decreased performance or damage to the machine.
WATER AND CHEMICAL FILTERS: Inspect any filters
supplied with your unit for damage or debris before
each use.
SPRAY GUN AND NOZZLES: Inspect the gun, lance,
and nozzles for leakage each use. Also, ensure the
lock-off mechanism on the gun is operational before
each use.
CHEMICAL HOSE: The hose should be flushed after
each application of chemicals. Do this by inserting
the hose into a bucket of clean water and running the
unit in low pressure (chemical application) mode for a
few minutes.
CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
CAUTION!: ALWAYS SHUT OFF THE PRESSURE
WASHER AND ALLOW TO COMPLETELY COOL
BEFORE PERFORMING CLEANING OPERATIONS.
Compressed air (max. 25 psi) may be used to blow
loose dirt and dust from your machine. DO NOT
DIRECT COMPRESSED AIR DIRECTLY INTO ANY
OPENING IN THE ENGINE OR AT PEOPLE OR
ANIMALS.
Use a dampened cloth to wipe clean exterior
surfaces.
Use a soft bristle brush to clean/ loosen heavy dirt, oil
or grease deposits.
NEVER insert rags, tools or any device into the
engine openings.
PRESSURE WASHER MAINTENANCE
During the course of standard use you will find that some
items wear out. The most common of these will probably
be the spray tips and the o-rings at some of the joints.
This is natural and when you consider the high pressure
applied it should be expected. These are very simple to
replace and when replacement parts are needed simply
contact the Dealer/Distributor where the pressure washer
was purchased.
The spray tips may also become clogged from time to
time. You will notice the pump pulsing and also pressure
buildup. This can be easily corrected by removing the tip
from the wand following proper safety procedures and
using a small wire, push the wire through the tip in the
reverse direction of water flow.
GENERAL STORAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING: GASOLINE FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE.
DO NOT STORE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER IN
ANY AREA THAT IS INDOORS OR IN POORLY
6
Page 7
VENTILATED AREAS. GASOLINE FUMES CAN IGNITE IN
THE PRESENCE OF ANY OPEN FLAME, PILOT LIGHT,
CLOTHES DRYER, WATER HEATER, ETC.
Your machine should be started and operated for
several minutes at least every 30 days.
If the machine cannot be operated every 30 days,
follow the storage recommendations within the engine
documentation. Disconnect all hoses and drain
completely. Also, be certain that the pump is drained
completely. Turn over the engine with the recoil
starter several times to do this.
NOTE: A fuel shut-off valve is positioned on the
engine. The valve should be closed during storage
periods.
USING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
Refer to the General Product Information Section for
visual reference to this section.
Assembly
The first step after removing your generator from the box
is assembling the handle and the hoses. The handle is
mounted to the base plate along with the rear support
piece using the carriage bolts supplied. Please note that
the battery kit for electric start models should be intalled at
the same time as the handle. The gun and hose can now
be attached using the quick connect fittings. Refer to the
pictures in the parts list section of this manual for
clarification.
Preparation for Starting the Pressure Washer
After assembly you are almost ready. Next, remove the
shipping cap from the oil inlet on the pump and replace it
with the supplied dipstick. Now add oil to the engine as
specified in the engine documentation. Finally, put
gasoline into the fuel tank on the engine.
Starting the Pressure Washer
Verify that the lubrication levels are correct. Connect the
pump to a water supply capable of providing at least
4.5gpm and turn the water on. Most outdoor faucets
provide an adequate supply of water. If you are not sure
you have a proper water supply then simply measure the
amount of time it takes to fill a container of a known
quantity, such as a one gallon milk jug, and determine the
flow rate. You should never run the machine without being
connected to an adequate water supply. Squeeze the gun
trigger until a steady flow of water comes from the tip.
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position and choke the
engine as needed. Be sure to set the lock-off device on
the gun. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON
position and now give a firm pull on the recoil starter (or
turn the key for electric start models). Return the choke to
the standard position as the engine warms up.
Stopping the Pressure Washer
Discontinue use of the spray gun. Turn the engine switch
to the off position. When the engine is at rest, squeeze the
trigger to release the pressure in the pump. Turn the fuel
valve to the off position. Turn the water supply off.
Squeeze the trigger to release any remaining water from
the pump. Note: This does not replace the procedures for
storing the pressure washer because it will not completely
empty the pump and hoses.
Using your Pressure Washer
Your pressure washer is designed to clean surfaces
through the use of high water pressure. The extreme
pressure produced can damage surfaces if care is not
used. Always test in an obscure area to determine the
proper spray angle and distance between tip and surface
starting about 2 feet away and gradually moving closer.
The spray angle is determined by the color coded tips or
by turning the knob on the adjustable style tip.
Interchanging tips or adjusting spray angle on
adjustable tips should only been done with the gun
lock-off feature engaged. The following is a description
of the tips. Note that all tips are not included with your
pressure washer.
Adjustable Tip. This tip is typically barrel shaped and
rotates around the lance axis to adjust spray angle. To
apply chemicals with this tip, grasp the tip firmly and pull
away from the gun making certain the trigger is locked off.
This should “click” into the low pressure mode. After
applying chemicals simply pull the tip back to the original
position for high pressure spraying. Experiment with the
angle adjustments for the optimum cleaning position for
each surface.
The following 5 tips are typically included as a set when
the adjustable tip is not used. These utilize a quickcoupler to switch between tips.
Low Pressure – Black. This tip is used to apply
chemicals at low pressure. This nozzle has a 25° spray
angle.
0° - Red. Provides the most cleaning force but over a
smaller area.
15° - Yellow. Provides strong cleaning force over a
slightly larger area.
25° - Green. Provides good cleaning force over a larger
area. Popular for surfaces which do not have too much
tough dirt because of the wider area and good force.
40° - White. Provides the most gentle force but over the
largest area.
Chemical Application. Always dress properly when using
chemicals. Chemical application can only be done in the
low pressure mode through the supplied chemical
injection system. The chemical tube should be inserted
into the chemical tank and the Black tip installed or the
adjustable tip set in low pressure position. The chemicals
are automatically drawn into the water flow and applied to
the surface to be cleaned. After application, return to the
desired high pressure settings to clean. Chemicals should
never be introduced through the water supply because
they will damage the internals of the pump. They should
only be supplied through the downstream chemical
injector included with the machine. Care should always be
taken when using chemicals because they can be harmful
to people, animals, and plants. Care should also be taken
to prevent overspray on the pressure washer itself
because they can corrode the external components.
