OPERATION
Pressure Washer Location
This pressure washer must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance
from combustible material. Leave at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of
clearance on all sides of the pressure washer to allow for
adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place the pressure
washer in a well ventilated area. DO NOT place the pressure
washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be
drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind
and air currents when positioning pressure washer.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Turn the water supply ON.
2. Pull the trigger on the trigger gun to purge all air from the
pump and hose. This may take several minutes.
3. Do not start the engine until a steady stream of water is
flowing from the nozzle.
CAUTION
Never operate your pressure washer without water.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the pressure washer is on a flat, level surface.
2. Move fuel valve to the “ON” position.
3. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
4. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. SEE NOTE.
5. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to “RUN”.
NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “RUN”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. To much
choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the
lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE
If the engine does not start after 2 pulls, relieve pump pressure
by pulling the trigger on the trigger gun.
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the
pressure washer is on a flat, level surface. The engine is
equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine
from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
