Battery
WARNING: Wear eye, hand and skin protection when
handling or connecting battery.
WARNING: Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal battery operation. DO NOT expose the battery
to flame or sparks as these gases may ignite.
WARNING: Battery fluid is highly acidic. If battery fluid
contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If battery fluid enters eye, immediately flood
eye with running cold water for at least 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
NOTE: The battery must be capable of accepting ring
terminals.

a group U1, 12 volt, 30 amp hour battery (garden tractor battery). Select a battery similar to the one in the
picture below for proper fit and installation.
8.00"
6.25"

battery cables in the following order. First attach the
positive battery cable (red) to the positive “+” terminal of battery. Next, attach the negative battery cable
(black) to the negative “—” terminal of the battery.
To disconnect the battery remove the cables in the
opposite order as installed. Install battery box cover
and fasten in place.
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 codes.
The pressure washer should be run on a level surface
where it is not readily influenced by outside sources 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 coming in contact with the pressure washer. Moisture reaching this equipment will reduce the pressure washer’s life. All installations should
comply with local codes covering such installations.
Venting
DANGER: Do not run machine indoors or in an
enclosed area, as engine 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
