Thank you for purchasing this Pressure Washer. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without incurring any obligation. WARNING WARNING: This machine exceeds 85 db appropriate ear protection must be worn. Owner/User Responsibility: The owner and/or user must have an understanding of the manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings before using this pressure washer. Warning information should be emphasized and understood.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL Important Safety Information Gasoline engines on mobile or portable equipment shall be refueled: a. outdoors; b. with the engine on the equipment stopped; c. with no source of ignition within 10 feet of the dispensing point; and d. with an allowance made for expansion of the fuel should the equipment be exposed to a higher ambient temperature. In an overfilling situation, additional precautions are necessary to ensure that the situation is handled in a safe manner.
WARNING RISK OF INJURY FROM FALLS WHEN USING LADDER. WARNING: Be extremely careful when using a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces. 21. Do not allow acids, caustic or abrasive fluids to pass through the pump. 22. Never run pump dry or leave spray gun closed longer than 1-2 minutes. 23.

Spray Gun Pressure Nozzle Soap Nozzle Safety Latch Wand Coupler Wand Coupler Wand Collar High Pressure Hose STEP 1: Attach the high pressure hose to the spray gun using teflon tape on hose threads. STEP 2: Pull the spring-loaded collar of the wand coupler back to insert your choice of pressure nozzle. DipStick STEP 3: Release the coupler collar and push the nozzle until the collar clicks. Pull the nozzle to make sure it is seated properly.
OPERATOR’S MANUAL PRESSURE WASHER operating instructions Oil Dipstick Gas Tank STEP 1: Check engine oil level. Oil level should be level with the bottom of the oil filler neck. Be sure the machine is level when checking the oil level. (Refer to the engine's operating manual included with machine.) We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then once every 50 hours. Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor to shut off engine.
Throttle STEP 7: Turn the engine to "Run" position. STEP 8: Pull the starter grip. If the engine fails to start after 2 pulls, squeeze the trigger gun to release pressure and repeat step. Return starter gently. After the engine warms up enough to run smoothly, move choke to run position and throttle to fast position. PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL operating instructions CAUTION: Small engines may kick back. Do not hold pull starter grip tightly in hand.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL detergents and Cleaning Tips WARNING: Some detergents may be harmful if inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning. The harmful elements may cause property damage or severe injury.
On-Off Switch STEP 1: Remove detergent suction tube from container and insert into 1 gallon of fresh water. Turn variable pressure wand handle for low pressure or connect the black detergent nozzle.

PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL Maintenance PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 1. Check to see that the water pump is properly lubricated. 2. Follow Winterizing Procedures to prevent freeze damage to the pump and coils. 3. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system after use. 4. If water is known to be high in mineral content, use a water softener in your water system or de-scale as needed. 5. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be pumped through system. 6.
Rupture Disk: Burner Nozzle: If pressure from pump or thermal expansion should exceed safe limits, the rupture disk will burst allowing high pressure to be discharged through hose to ground. When disk ruptures it will need to be replaced. The replacement rupture disk should be torqued to 35 ft. lbs. Keep the tip free of surface deposits by wiping it with a clean, solvent-saturated cloth, being careful not to plug or enlarge the nozzle. For maximum efficiency, replace the nozzle each season.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL Maintenance Fuel Pressure Adjustment: Coil Reinstallation: To adjust fuel pressure, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. Do not exceed 200 psi. NOTE: When changing the fuel pump, a bypass plug must be installed in the return port or the fuel pump will not prime. Reinstall by reversing the above steps 4 through 1.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION LOW OPERATING PRESSURE Water supply is insufficient Use larger supply hose; clean filter at water inlet. Match the nozzle number to the machine and/or replace with new nozzle. Tighten or replace belt; use correct belt. Check plumbing system for leaks. Retape leaks with teflon tape. Adjust unloader for proper pressure. Install repair kit when necessary or replace. Install new packing kit. Check inlet and discharge valve.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT (continued from previous page) Burner nozzle is clogged Clean as required. Thermostat has malfunctioned Test and replace if needed. Fuel solenoid has malfunctioned Test and replace if needed. Fuel is improper or water is in fuel Drain tank and replace contaminated fuel. Air adjustment is improper Readjust air bands on burner assembly. Fuel pressure is low Adjust fuel pump pressure to specifications.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION DETERGENT NOT DRAWING Air is leaking Tighten all clamps. Check detergent lines for holes. Injector head may be blocked, dirty or damaged Clean and make sure ball and spring behind detergent hose barb or injector body are working properly. Filter screen on detergent suction hose is plugged Clean or replace. Detergent has high viscosity Dilute detergent to specifications. Not using soap nozzle Insert soap nozzle into wand coupler.
