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.

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.
