INTRODUCTION
Attention: Read through the complete
manual prior to the initial use of your
pressure washer.
INTRODUCTION
Using the Operator’s manual
The operating manual is an important part of your pressure
blaster and should be read thoroughly before initial use, and
referred to often to make sure adequate safety and service
concerns are being addressed. Reading the owner’s manual
thoroughly will help avoid any personal injury or damage to
your machine. The information in this manual will offer you the
most effective tools for cleaning as well as the safest.
By knowing how best to operate this machine you will be better
positioned to show others who may also operate the unit.
This manual contains information for the complete range of be
pressure blasters, and is placed in order starting from the safety
requirements to the operating functions of your machine.
You can refer back to the manual at any time to help troubleshoot
any specic operating functions, so store it with the machine at
all times.
Notice
Actual pressure released at the point of discharge may vary
by machine due to varying factors including: Volume of water
being fed to the machine by the water source, the inclusion of a
Chemical injector in the line, or variations in Engine performance
Attention: Read through the
complete manual prior to the initial
use of your pressure blaster.

SAFETY
WARNING
Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache,
fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea,
fainting or death.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled
or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows,
doors, ventilation intakes, or other openings.
• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if
windows and doors are open.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may
be inhaled.
• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will
provide the necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.
WARNING
Use of pressure washer can create puddles and
slippery surfaces.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to
reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a
ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.

SAFETY
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other
ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
When Starting Equipment
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap, and air cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
When Operating Equipment
• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.
• DO NOT spray flammable liquids.
When Transporting or Repairing Equipment
• Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve OFF.
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
When Storing Fuel or Equipment with Fuel in Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, or
other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because
they can ignite fuel vapors.
WARNING
Risk of electrocution.
Contact with power source can cause electric shock
or burn.
• NEVER spray near power source.

How to Use Spray Tips
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to switch
between ve different quick connect spray tips. Spray tips can
be changed while pressure blaster is running once spray gun
trigger safety lock is engaged. The spray tips vary the spray
pattern as shown above.
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current spray tip off. Store
spray tips in holder provided on the handle. Storing nozzles in the designated holder will help prevent debris clogging the tip.
2. Select desired spray tip:
• For gentle rinse, select white 40° spray tip.
• For general purpose or large surface select green
25°
spray tip.
• To scour surface, select yellow 15° or red 0° spray tip.
• To apply detergent, select black spray tip.
3. Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar. Tug on
spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to 24 inches away
from cleaning surface.
• If you get spray tip too close, especially using a high pressure spray tip,
you may damage surface being cleaned.
How to Use Spray Tips
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to switch between
four different quick connect spray tips. Spray tips can be changed while
pressure washer is running once spray gun trigger safety lock is
engaged. The spray tips vary the spray pattern as shown above.
SPRAY TIPS
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can cut through skin and its underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
• NEVER exchange spray tips without the trigger safety lock engaged
on the spray gun.
• DO NOT twist spray tips while spraying.

Winter Storage
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:.
1. Use Pump Saver to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage
and lubricates pistons and seals. Contact your local dealer for Pump
Saver Solution.
2. If pump saver is not available, connect a 3 ft. section of garden
hose to water inlet adapter. Pour RV-antifreeze (antifreeze without
alcohol) into hose. Pull recoil handle twice. Disconnect 3 ft. hose.
3. Store unit in a clean, dry area (heated area preferred).
Long Term Storage
If you do not plan to use the pressure blaster for more than 30 days,
you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes
acids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential
carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline has not been treated with
a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an approved
container. Then run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
When fuel stabilizers are used according to their instructions, there is
no need to drain the gasoline from the engine prior to storage. Run
the engine for a short time to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. Engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is still recommended to maintain freshness.
