2. All installations must comply with local codes. Con­tact your electrician, plumber, utility company or the selling distributor for specific details. To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and provide additional protection from risk of electric shock, single phase pressure washers are equipped with a UL approved ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) power cord. Three phase machines must be con­nected to a GFCI circuit breaker.

ELECTRICAL WIRING.
It is the responsibility of the owner to connect this machine to a UL grounded receptacle of
proper voltage and amperage ratings.
Do not spray water on or near electrical components. Do not touch machine with wet hands or while stand­ing in water. Always disconnect power before ser­vicing.
5. Grip cleaning wand securely with both hands before starting the cleaner. Failure to do this could result in injury from a whipping wand.
WARNING

HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN PIERCE SKIN AND TISSUES.
6. High pressure developed by these machines will cause personal injury or equipment
damage. Use caution when operating. Do not direct discharge stream at people, or severe injury or death will result.
7. Never make adjustments on machine while in operation.
WARNING
WARNING: High pressure spray can cause paint chips or other particles to become airborne and fly at high speeds.
8. Eye safety devices, foot protec-

PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Pump oil (SAE 30W non-detergent oil)
Clean, fresh, cold water supply
(5 GPM • 5/8" • 20 PSI)
Hose, wand, nozzle (nozzle size per serial plate)
Water filter (intact, non restrictive)
Proper electrical supply, receptacle and circuit
breaker.
SETUP PROCEDURES
These machines are designed 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).
7. For operator safety and to comply with electrical stan­dards, each cord comes with a 120V/20 amp plug end that will fit only into a 20 amp receptacle.
Shark DE Rev. 7/02
8. On 230V machines, attach appropriate plug end (not included) to power cord.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Pull wand coupler collar back and insert pressure nozzle into coupler then secure by pushing collar forward.
4. With spray gun off, turn power switch to ON position and check for leaks.
5. With spray nozzle pointed away from you or any­body else, pull trigger on spray gun to obtain pres­surized spray.
GENERAL WASHING TECHNIQUES
Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot 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 (see section “How to Use the Detergent Injector”). Start washing from the bottom and work up. Better detergent economy and faster results will be obtained by allowing 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.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
1. Rinse all lines (and injector) with clean water, to re­move any soap residue.
2. Turn power switch to OFF position.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. Open spray gun to relieve remaining pressure.
5. Remove water supply hose.
6. In freezing conditions, disconnect water supply and open spray gun to allow water to drain, then turn off motor.
CAUTION: Do not allow pump to run longer than 5 minutes without water. Disconnect all hoses to al­low water to drain.
CAUTION: With machine off, open spray gun to release pressure before removing discharge hose.
