❑
SETUP PROCEDURES
This machine is intended for indoor use. Machine
must be stored indoors when not in use.
1. Attach a 5/8" garden hose to inlet connector. Minimum flow should be 5 GPM.
2. Attach high pressure hose to discharge nipple using
quick coupler. Lock coupler securely into place by
pulling back coupler collar and inserting it onto discharge nipple, then pushing collar forward to lock in
place.
3. Attach wand to spray gun using teflon tape on threads
to prevent leakage.
4. Attach connector on discharge hose to spray gun
using teflon tape on threads.
5. Remove oil plug on top of pressure washer pump
and replace with dipstick supplied. (This may be installed from the factory.)
6. Check oil level on oil dipstick on top of pump. Oil
should be visible one half way up sight glass (30W
non-detergent).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read safety and preventative maintenance instructions before starting machine.
2. With power switch in OFF position, plug power cord
into a grounded type of receptacle of proper voltage
and amperage reading. Then push GFCI reset button
at end of power cord if required.
3. Turn on water at faucet and pull trigger on spray gun
allowing water to flow until all air has discharged from
system. Check for water leaks; tighten as needed.
4. Push the switch on and pull the trigger on the spray
gun to activate a pressure switch which will then start
the machine. (Auto start option only).
5. Turn the variable pressure control handle clockwise
to increase pressure.
6. To apply detergent read “How to Use The Detergent
Injector.”
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
1. Rinse with clean water to remove any soap residue,
by placing detergent hose into fresh water bucket
and operating injector as described below.
2. Release the trigger on the spray gun which will activate a timer to shut the machine off after four (4)
seconds. Turn the switch off if the machine is going
to be left unattended. (Auto start option only).
3. Turn off water supply.
4. Open spray gun to relieve remaining pressure.
5. Remove water supply hose.
6. In freezing conditions, water should be drained from
machine. Run the pump dry for a few seconds and
then disconnect all hoses to allow water to drain.
CAUTION: When removing hose, spray gun, or detergent injector, the switch must be in the off position
followed by opening spray gun to relieve pressure,
or personal injury will occur.

HOW TO USE
THE DETERGENT INJECTOR
WARNING
SOME DETERGENTS
MAY BE HARMFUL IF
INHALED OR
INGESTED
1. Pull injector quick coupler collar back and secure on
discharge nipple. Injector valve body arrow should
point in direction of flow.
2. Connect high pressure hose to injector nipple securing quick coupler.
3. Start machine as outlined in Operating Instructions.
4. Place detergent pickup tube into container of detergent solution.
WARNING: Some detergents may
be harmful if inhaled or ingested
causing severe nausea, fainting or
poisoning. The harmful elements
may cause property damage or
severe injury.
The machine can siphon and mix
detergents with the use of Shark's
detergent injector kit.
5. Install the brass soap nozzle provided with the injector into the quick coupler of the wand.
6. Open spray gun. Water detergent ratio is approximately 15 to 1.
7. When you finish washing, rinse by simply releasing
the spray gun, removing the soap nozzle, and replacing the pressure nozzle back into quick coupler.
NOTE: The detergent injector will not siphon with
the high pressure nozzle at the end of the wand.
8. If your machine has a variable pressure wand, turn
the pressure control handle counterclockwise to lower
the pressure. This directs the water flow through the
soap nozzle, allowing the detergent injector to siphon soap. To rinse with high pressure water, simply
turn the control handle clockwise.
9. For clean up, place detergent pickup tube into container of clear water and follow steps 5 and 8 to prevent detergent deposits from damaging the injector.

GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES
Hold spray nozzle a foot or so from the surface being
cleaned. Spray at an angle to get under the material and
lift it off.
When washing large objects, use detergent injector to
apply detergent. Start washing from the bottom and work
up. Allow the detergent to set 5-10 minutes. After washing, rinse from the top down.
Cleaning heavy dirt or material away with a hard stream
of clear water is recommended before using a cleaning
agent.
MAINTENANCE
Pump Lubrication
The pump on your CB Pressure Washer is a triplex ceramic plunger pump. As the plungers move back, water
flows through the inlet valve into the manifold chamber.
Then, when the plungers move forward, the inlet valves
close and the discharge valves open to produce discharge
pressure.
Use only SAE 30 weight non-detergent oil; change oil
after first 50 hours of use. Thereafter, change oil every
three months or at 500 hour intervals. Oil level should be
checked through the use of the dipstick found on top of
the pump, or half way up on the oil gauge window. Oil
should be maintained at that level.
Winterizing Procedure
Damage due to freezing is not covered by warranty. Use
the following cold weather procedures whenever the
washer must be stored or operated outdoors under freezing conditions.
During winter months, when the temperature drops below
32°F, protecting your machine against freezing is necessary. A blowout valve is available which can be screwed
on in place of the garden hose to blow water out of the
system. When compressed air is not available or impractical, siphon a small amount of antifreeze into the machine and siphon a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze into the
pump. Run the pump dry for a few seconds and disconnect all hoses to allow water to drain.
Low Pressure Diagnosis
Refer to Troubleshooting Chart for low pressure. If, by
referring to the chart, the trouble is found to be either the
unloader or the pump, your next step is to determine
whether in fact the unloader or the pump is the problem.
This can be done by eliminating the unloader from the
system and attaching the discharge hose directly to the
pump. If high pressure is developed in this manner the
pump is good, and the unloader needs to be repaired or
replaced.
CAUTION: When using this procedure to test components, keep the spray gun open at all times.
Unloader Valves
The unloader valve is connected directly to the discharge
port of the pump. Its purpose is to allow recirculation
back into the pump inlet when the trigger on the spray
gun is closed.
Nozzles
Each machine is equipped with one spray nozzle depending on the flow and pressure of that particular model.
Spray nozzles vary in bore size and angle of spray. When
ordering replacement nozzles, please specify size and
angle of nozzle. Nozzle size for each machine is located
on the serial plate.
