OPERATION

PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.

GPM: Gallons per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water. CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI equals CU. Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within the pump when the gun trigger is

not pulled. This feature allows the operator to release the trigger gun and reposition themselves without having to turn the engine off in between cleaning actions.

Thermal Relief Valve (P, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve will then close.

Detergent Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.

Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 psi and 5 Gallons Per Minute. If your water source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 30 ft. (9m) max.

WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect against backflow when connected to a potable water system.

Connections on pressure washer hoses, gun and spray wand should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with light oil or lithium grease to prevent leakage and damage to the o-rings.

NOZZLE CLEANING (FIG. 14)

If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign materials, such as dirt, excessive pressure may develop. If the nozzle becomes partially clogged or restricted, the pump pressure will pulsate. Clean the nozzle immediately using the nozzle kit supplied and the following instructions:

1. Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply.

2. Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve any water pressure.

3. Disconnect the spray wand from the gun.

5. Direct water supply (N) into nozzle to backflush loosened

particles for 30 seconds.

6. Reassemble the nozzle to the wand.

7. Reconnect spray wand to gun and turn on water supply.

8. Start pressure washer and place spray wand into high

pressure setting to test.

CLEAN THE WATER INLET FILTER (FIG. 10)

This screen filter should be checked periodically and cleaned if necessary.

1. Remove filter by grasping end and removing it from water inlet of pump.

2. Clean filter by flushing it with water on both sides.

3. Re-insert filter into water inlet of pump. NOTE: Cone side faces out. NOTE: Do not operate the pressure washer without filter properly installed.

STORAGE

ENGINE

Consult the Engine Owner’s Manual for manufacturer’s recommendations for storage.

TO PREVENT FUEL-RELATED PROBLEMS

1. Add Ethanol Shield

When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.

2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes

to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.

3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of fuel in the carburetor

fuel bowl. Running time should be less than 3 minutes.

PUMP

The manufacturer recommends using SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER® Pump Guard or equivalent when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. SIMPSON is environmentally friendly.

NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.

NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use only SIMPSON Pump Guard or equivalent. Other products could be corrosive and/or contain alcohol which may cause pump damage.

1. Turn off pressure washer and disconnect hoses from pump.

2. Unscrew bottle valve from Pump Guard bottle and remove seal.

3. Screw bottle valve back onto bottle.

4. Attach bottle to water inlet of pump.
