OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
READ THIS OPERATION MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.
BASIC ELEMENTS OF A PRESSURE WASHER
High Pressure Pump (located inside the shroud): Increases the pressure of
the water supply.
Engine: Drives the high pressure pump.
High Pressure Hose: Carries the pressurized water from the pump to the
gun and wand.
Spray Gun: Connects with wand to control water flow rate, direction, and
pressure.
Multi-Adjustable Spray Wand: Has a spray nozzle which adjusts from a
pencil stream (0°) to a wide angle fan spray (40°). The spray can be adjusted
by twisting the nozzle clockwise and/or counterclockwise. Also, the high and
low pressure settings can be controlled by moving the nozzle in and out. See
Operation section. See How To Use Wand paragraph in this section.
Chemical Hose: Feeds cleaning agents into the pump to mix with the
pressurized water. See How To Apply Chemicals/Cleaning Solvents in Operation
section of this manual.
BASIC ELEMENTS OF ENGINE
Refer to the engine manual for location and operation of engine controls.
Choke Control: Opens and closes carburetor choke valve
Throttle Control Lever: Controls engine speed.
Starter Grip: Pulling starter grip operates recoil starter to crank
engine.
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
through the pressure washer.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI.
Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the pump is recirculating water because the
trigger of the spray gun is not pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode for
more than two (2) minutes, the water temperature will rise to a dangerous
level and could damage internal components of the pump. Any damage to pump due
to these causes will not be covered under warranty.
CAUTION DO NOT allow your unit to operate in bypass mode for more than
two minutes at any time. Overheating of pump can cause damage to pump.
Thermal Relief Valve: In an effort to prevent extreme damage, pumps are
equipped with a thermal relief valve. This valve will open when the
temperature inside the pump rises too high. This valve will then release a
gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump.
Immediately after this occurs, the valve will close. The thermal relief valve
is part of the pump and is not visible to the user.
Chemical Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the
pressurized 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.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and
cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these
methods.
- Back away from the surface to be cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
- Rotate the nozzle at the end of the multi-adjustable spray wand to widen the fan spray. The wider fan spray will minimize the pressure on the surface to be cleaned.
CAUTION DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.
HOW TO USE WAND:
Your pressure washer is equipped with a multi-adjustable spray wand with both
high and low pressure settings. The high pressure setting is for cleaning and
rinsing, the low pressure setting is for applying chemicals or cleaning
solutions to surfaces.
DANGER When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the jet-like
spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or
animals. Serious injury can occur.
WARNING Risk of injection or injury to person. DO NOT direct discharge
stream toward persons.
For high pressure operation, pull back the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.The nozzle at the end of the multi-adjustable
spray wand can be rotated to change the high pressure spray pattern from a
narrow jet to a 40º fan shape, as shown. Markings have been placed on the
nozzle to help you select the spray pattern.
For low pressure operation, extend the nozzle of the multi-adjustable spray wand as shown.
HOW TO APPLY CHEMICALS AND CLEANING SOLVENTS
Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation. NOTE: Use
only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use. Do not use bleach.
To apply chemicals:
- Press chemical hose onto barbed fitting located near high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.
- Place other end of chemical hose with filter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning solution. NOTE: The chemical/water ratio is 7:1, for every 7 gallons of water pumped, 1 gallon of chemical/cleaning solution will be used.
- Set multi-adjustable nozzle to low pressure setting. See How To Use Wand paragraph in this section.
- After use of chemicals, place chemical hose into container of clean water and draw clean water through chemical injection system to rinse system thoroughly. If chemicals remain in the pump it could be damaged. Pumps damaged due to chemicals will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon when wand is in the high pressure setting.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT
DANGER When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high
pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any
pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to
penetrate human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other
serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can
result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT!
See a physician immediately!
WARNING NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not
smoke when filling fuel tank.
NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2″ below bottom of filler
neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine
and equipment before starting engine.
NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or
