level. (Refer to the engine's operating manual included with machine.)
We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then
once every 100 hours. Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor

STEP 1: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers.

THERMAL PUMP
PROTECTION
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach high temperatures. When the water reaches this temperature,
10
SSG 579-585 • 9.801-193.0 • Rev. 1/13a
the pump protector engages and cools the pump by
discharging the warm water onto the ground. This
thermal device prevents internal damage to the pump.
CLEANING TIPS
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure (for best results, limit
your work area to sections approximately 6 feet square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface appears
to be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water.
If needed, use brush to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at
high pressure from top to bottom in an even sweeping
motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 1 foot
from cleaning surface. Use overlapping strokes as you
clean and rinse any surface. For best surface cleaning
action spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping,
use extreme caution as pressure washer may
remove the loose paint from the surface.
• Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from
the surface you plan to clean. High pressure
wash a small area, then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, continue to
pressure washing.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals
• Liquidscontaining solvents(i.e.,paintthinner,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodiumphosphateproducts
• Ammoniaproducts
• Acid-basedproducts
These chemicals will harm the machine and will
damage the surface being cleaned.
RINSING
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Remove black soap
nozzle from the quick coupler. Select and install the
desired high pressure nozzle. NOTE: You can also stop
detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent
siphon tube from bottle.

STORAGE
CAUTION: Always store your pressure washer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below
32°F (0°C). The pump in this machine is susceptible
to permanent damage if frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE
IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
1. Stop the pressure washer, squeeze spray gun
trigger to release pressure.
2. Detach water supply hose and high pressure
hose.
3. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until
remaining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.
4. Drain the gas and oil from the engine.
5. Do not allow high pressure hose to become
kinked.
6. Store the machine and accessories in a room which
does not reach freezing temperatures.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the above directions will
result in damage to your pressure washer.
When the pressure washer is not being operated or is
being stored for 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 starter grip several

times and replace the plug. Then pull the starter
grip 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 rusting of cylinder.
4. Cover pressure washer and store in a clean, dry
place that is well ventilated away from open flame
or sparks. NOTE: Use of a fuel additive, such as
STA-BIL®, or an equivalent, will minimize the formulation of fuel deposits during storage. Such additives
may be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the
engine, or to the gasoline in a storage container.
After Extended Storage
CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out any
possible ice from pressure washer hoses,
spray gun or wand.
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 the
engine manufacturer's manual for service and maintenance of the engine.

MAINTENANCE
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Check to see that water pump is properly
lubricated.
2. Follow winterizing instructions to prevent freeze
damage to pump and coils.
3. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
PRESSURE WASHER
4. If water is known to have high mineral content, use
a water softener in your water system, or de-scale
as needed.
5. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through system.
6. Always use high grade quality cleaning products.
7. Never run pump dry for extended periods of
time.
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
8. Use clean fuel: kerosene, No. 1 fuel oil, or diesel.
Clean or replace fuel filter every 100 hours of
operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will
damage the fuel pump.
9. If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, not letting water reach
maximum operating temperature.
1 0. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near engine
or burner assembly or any electrical component.
1 1. Periodically delime coils as per instructions.
1 2. Check to see that engine is properly lubricated.
It is advisable, periodically, to visually inspect the
burner. Check air inlet to make sure it is not clogged
or blocked. Wipe off any oil spills and keep equipment
clean and dry.
The flow of combustion and ventilating air to the burner
must not be blocked or obstructed in any manner.
The area around the pressure washer should be kept
clean and free of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Unloader Valves:
Unloader valves are preset and tested at the factory
before shipping. Occasional adjustment of the unloader
may be necessary to maintain correct pressure.
Adjusting Unloader Valves:
Tampering with the factory setting may cause
personal injury and/or property damage and will void
the manufacturer's warranty.
Winterizing Procedure:
Damage due to freezing is not covered by warranty.
Adhere to the following cold weather procedures whenever the washer must be stored or operated outdoors
under freezing conditions.
During winter months, when temperatures drop below
32°F, protecting your machine against freezing is necessary. Store the machine in a heated room. If this is
not possible then mix a 50/50 solution of anti-freeze
and water in the float tank. Turn the engine on to siphon
the anti-freeze mixture through the machine. If compressed air is available, an air fitting can be screwed
into the float tank by removing the float tank strainer
and fitting. Then inject the compressed air. Water will
be blown out of the machine when the trigger on the
spray gun is opened.
High Limit Hot Water Thermostat:
For safety, each machine is equipped with a temperature sensitive high limit control switch. In the event
that the water should exceed its operating temperature,
the high limit control will turn the burner off until the
water cools then it will automatically reset itself. The
thermostat sensor is located on the discharge side of
the heating coil. The thermostat control dial is located
on the control panel.
Pumps:
Before running the pump check the pump crankcase for
a proper oil level. A proper oil level is indicated by the
red dot in the sightglass or between the high and low
marks on the dipstick. Use only SAE 30 non-detergent
oil. Change the initial oil after the first 50 hours and
then change the oil every 500 hours or every three
months.
When draining oil, clean inside of crankcase to remove
all impurities. CAUTION: When operating in damp
places or with high temperature fluctuations oil
must be changed immediately.
Cleaning of Coils:
In alkaline water areas, lime deposits can accumulate
rapidly inside the heating coil. This growth is increased
by the extreme heat build up in the coil. The best
preventative for liming conditions is to use high quality cleaning detergents. In areas where alkaline water
is an extreme problem, periodic use of Coil Conditioner will remove lime and other deposits before coil
becomes plugged. (See Deliming instructions for use
of Coil Conditioner.)
