OPERATOR’S MANUAL
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION SMALL
Pump — Delivers a specific gpm to the high pressure
nozzle which develops pressure.
Starter Grip— Used for starting the engine manually
(except 20 HP Honda).
Spray Gun — Controls the application of water and
detergent onto cleaning surface with trigger device.
Includes safety latch.
Unloader Valve— Safety device which allows pressure to be released when spray gun is closed.
Wand — Must be connected to the spray gun.

SHARK SSG • 8.914-337.0 / 97-6134 • Rev. 8/07
High Pressure Hose — Connect one end to water
pump discharge nipple and the other end to spray
gun.
Adjustable Thermostat — Safety control which
prevents temperatures from going above adjustable
setting.
Note: If trigger on spray gun is released for more than
2 minutes, water will leak from valve. Warm water will
discharge from pump protector onto floor. This system
prevents internal pump damage.
Note: if flue adapter is installed, the burner assembly
air adjustment must be adjusted.

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
SHARK SSG • 8.914-337.0 / 97-6134 • Rev. 8/07
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: The use of a fuel additive, such as
STA-BIL®, or an equivalent, will minimize 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
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.

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.
10. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near engine
or burner assembly or any electrical component.
11. Periodically delime coils as per instructions.
12. 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.

be blown out of the machine when the trigger on the
spray gun is opened.

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.
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
