3. Positioning: 1. The pressure washer should be positioned on a firm, level (less than 3 degree slope), heat-resistant surface with good drainage and a nearby water supply. 2. The pressure washer should be placed within garden hose distance of a continuous water supply. Ensure that the pressure washer sits level and will not slide or shift during operation. If applicable, block the pressure washer's wheels to prevent movement. 4.
Operation Safety Rules for Operation NOTICE After you have checked and fueled the equipment and positioned it in a suitable worksite, it is time to start your pressure washer. The following are the procedures necessary for safe, successful operation of your pressure washer. Before starting the pressure washer, review the following general safety rules for operation: Conditions for Use Know how to stop. Be thoroughly familiar with proper use of the equipment and all controls and connections.
Preparing of Operation Never pull by hose. Do not move this machine by pulling on the hose. Hose or connections could fail and result in catastrophic high pressure release of fluid as well as hose whipping. Avoid sharp objects. Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting hoses may cause injury. No load bearing. Do not use the pump to support other items of equipment that impose unacceptable loads on the pump. Do not attempt to use this machine as a prop. Lock trigger safety latch when not spraying.
Add Fuel • If possible, move the pressure washer away from spilled fuel on the ground. • Wipe up spilled fuel and wait 5 minutes for excess fuel to evaporate before starting engine. • Fuel soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed of properly. • If fuel is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes and wash skin immediately. WARNING: Fuel Fire/Explosion Hazard Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
Fill Engine Fuel Tank WARNING: High Pressure Fluid Injection Hazard Check the gasoline tank level. If needed, fill tank with fresh unleaded gasoline from a portable container: 1. Remove engine gas cap. 2. Add gasoline through the fill opening: • Use only a UL-listed portable gasoline container to transfer the gasoline to engine's tank. • Do NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Allow at least 1/2" of empty space below the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion. 3. Replace gas cap securely before starting engine.
3. The water supply garden hose must have an inside diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least 3/4”. 4. Never use a reservoir tank as a water source. Drawing water out of a tank may cause pump cavitation and damage to your pump. This pressure washer is designed for a pressurized water source such as a city water faucet. However, the water source pressure must not exceed 115 psi (8 bar). 5. Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water supply.
CAUTION: Chemicals Containing Muriatic Acid Certain chemicals, such as bleach or those containing muriatic acid, will cause pump damage if introduced upstream through the pump's water inlet. It mixes the cleaning chemical into a low pressure spray. Cleaning chemicals applied under low pressure adhere better to the surface being cleaned, allowing the formula time to react and remove dirt more effectively.
Pump Components Start-Up Procedures Start the Engine to Power the Pump. 1. Make sure water supply is connected and primed. CAUTION: Warranty Void Running the pump dry will cause damage and void the warranty. 2. To prevent accidental spraying, engage the safety latch on spray gun trigger by rotating it to the locked position. 3. Follow the instructions in the “Engine Manual” section of this manual for starting the engine. - If the engine doesn't start on the first try, pressure may build up in the pump.
Procedure: 1. Install one of the high-pressure spray nozzle (always relieve system pressure first and follow instructions for attaching a nozzle). 2. Clear the cleaning area of all persons. Keep children and pets away. 3. Hold the spray gun firmly with two hands and a sturdy stance -- Gun kicks back when triggered. 4. Wash from the bottom to the top, using side-toside motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows the detergent to soak as you work toward the top. 5.
Storage When you are finished using the pressure washer, you must prepare the sprayer for storage and store it in a proper location. 1. Drain the water from the high pressure hose and spray gun by depressing the trigger on the spray gun until all water drains out. 2. Disconnect the plumbing that connects to the pump outlet. 3. Obtain the materials you will need: • 12" piece of garden hose or equivalent • funnel • approximately 6 oz. of RV antifreeze 4.
Prepare Engine for Long Term Storage Prepare Pressure Washer for Storage Prepare the pressure washer for storage. 1. Make sure the engine start switch is OFF. 2. Disconnect the engine spark plug wire if you haven't already done so. 3. Disconnect the high-pressure hose, garden hose, and spray gun. First prepare the engine for long term storage if you will not be using the pressure washer for more than 30 days. Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.
Maintenance & Repair WARNING: Maintenance Hazards ALWAYS shut off water supply, bleed water pressure, turn off engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before cleaning, adjusting, or servicing the pressure washer. After servicing, make sure all guards and cover shields are replaced before using.
Inspect Spray System Inspect Fuel System Inspect spray system for damage and leaks before each use. Do not start pressure washer until all needed repairs have been completed. Inspect the engine fuel system and check for leaks before each use. Do not start pressure washer until all needed repairs have been completed. WARNING: High Pressure Fluid Injection Hazard WARNING: Filter Disposal Gasoline fuel is highly explosive and fuel leaks can result in fire or explosions.
COMMERCIAL USERS: All mechanical equipment, no matter how well designed, will need maintenance and repairs. A Powerhorse pressure washer is no exception. At times, a Powerhorse pressure washer may become inoperable because repairs are required.
Troubleshooting This section provides a list of the more frequently encountered pressure washer malfunctions, their causes and corrective actions.
