● Check hoses, fittings, wand, and trigger
gun daily for signs of wear, cracks and
looseness, and replace as required.
● Do not point wand or trigger gun at your-
self or at any person. Bodily injury may
result from water under high pressure.
● Do not block or tie trigger gun in open
position.
● Wear eye, ear, hand, foot, and skin pro-
tection at all times while operating pressure washer.
● Do not allow machine to run unattended.
● Avoid contact with non-insulated areas of
pressure washer to prevent the possibility of severe burns.
● Do not run machine indoors or in an
enclosed area, as exhaust fumes may be
hazardous to your health.
● Do not operate machine in areas where
flammable vapors (gasoline, solvents,
etc.) may be present, as this machine may
ignite the vapors.
● Do not store flammable liquids (gasoline,
diesel fuel, solvents, etc.) near pressure
washer or in non-ventilated areas.
● Do not fill engine fuel tank while engine
is running or hot. Let engine cool before
refueling or spontaneous fire may result.
Fuel spillage or vapors could ignite if
engine is hot.
● Do not place hands or feet on non-
insulated areas of the pressure washer
when starting gasoline engine.
● Use extreme caution when moving
pressure washer over rough or uneven
surfaces.
● For permanent installation consult local
building codes for installation requirements. Licensed contractor may be
required.
● Disconnect spark plugs prior to perform-
ing any maintenance.
● Pressure washers produce a kickback. To
prevent personal injuries due to falls use
auxiliary safety equipment.
● When applying detergents follow the
safety rules on the detergent label.
● Use detergent from a covered D.O.T.
approved container.
● Cleaning area should be provided with
adequate slopes and drainage. This will
reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surface.
● Unauthorized machine modification or use
of non-approved replacement parts may
cause personal injury and/or property
damage and will void the manufacturer
warranty.

INSTALLATION
Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equipment
will assure more satisfactory performance, longer service life, and lower maintenance cost.
IMPORTANT: The use of a backflow preventer on the
water supply hose is recommended and may be
required by local code.
The pressure washer should be run on a level surface
and in a protected area where it is not readily influenced
by outside forces such as strong winds, freezing temperatures, rain, etc. The pressure washer should be
located to assure easy access for filling of fluids, adjustments and maintenance. Normal precautions should be
taken by the operator to prevent moisture from reaching
the pressure washer. It is recommended that a partition
be made between the wash area and the pressure washer
to prevent direct spray from the wand from coming in contact with the pressure washer. Moisture reaching the
equipment will reduce the pressure washer’s service life.
All installations should comply with the local codes
covering such installations.

Venting
DANGER: Do not run machine indoors or in an
enclosed area, as exhaust fumes may be hazardous
to your health.
DANGER: Do not operate machine in areas where
flammable vapors (gasoline, solvents, etc.) may be
present, as this machine may ignite the vapors.
CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance with
applicable federal and state laws, and local ordinances. Consult local contractors.
If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed area,
a flue must be installed to vent engine exhaust to the
outside atmosphere. When selecting the location for
operation, beware of poorly ventilated locations or areas
where exhaust fans may cause an insufficient supply of
oxygen. Proper combustion can only be obtained when
there is a sufficient supply of oxygen available for the
amount of fuel being burned. If it is necessary to use the
machine in a poorly ventilated area, outside fresh air may
have to be piped to the engine and a fan installed to bring
sufficient air into the machine.
In addition, the pressure washer should never be operated in an enclosed area where high ambient temperatures exist. High ambient temperatures (above 100
can cause engine oil failure and will greatly reduce the
engine’s performance.

F)
Gasoline Engine
This gasoline engine is preset for operation at altitudes
below 3000 feet above sea level. If operated at higher
altitudes, it may be necessary to install a high altitude
main jet in the carburetor. Contact an authorized engine
sales and service center for details.
Refer to the provided gasoline engine manual for
additional details.
4. Check pump and engine oil levels.
IMPORTANT: Before installing nozzle on initial startup, turn on the water supply and allow water to run
from the end of the wand until clear to prevent the
nozzle from clogging.
IMPORTANT: If the pressure washer has not been
used for an extended period of time, remove the nozzle
from the end of the wand and turn on water supply.
Allow water to run from the end of the wand until
clear.
5. Install the proper pressure nozzle for your cleaning
needs on end of wand, refer to Figure 4.
IMPORTANT: The trigger gun provided with this pressure washer is equipped with a manual trigger lock
to prevent accidental operation of the trigger gun,
refer to Figure 4. The trigger lock should be used
whenever the trigger gun is not in use.

is running or hot. Let engine cool before refueling or
spontaneous fire may result. Fuel spillage or vapors
could ignite if engine is hot.
