- Inspect the screen and gasket in the water intake.
- If the screen and gasket is damaged, do not use the machine until the screen has been replaced.
- If the screen is dirty, clean it before connecting the garden hose to the machine.
To connect the garden hose to the machine:
-
Completely uncoil the garden hose or remove completely from the reel to prevent kinks.
NOTICE
There must be a minimum of 1 o ft. (3 m) of unrestricted hose between the pressure washer intake and the hose faucet or shut-off valve (such as a “Y” shut-off connector). -
With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach the end of the garden hose to the water inlet. Tighten by hand.
NOTICE
Do not run the pressure washer without the water supply connected and turned on, as this may damage the high-pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the pressure washer.
Add Engine Oil
Refer to Honda’s engine owner/operator manual.
Add Fuel
Refer to Honda’s engine owner/operator manual
Distance from Cleaning Surface
The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning surface is another
factor that affects the impact force of the water.
The impact force of the water increases as the nozzle is moved closer to the
surface. You can vary the impact force by controlling
- The nozzle’s fan pattern.
- The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface.
- The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface.
Never use a narrow high-impact stream on a surface that is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high-impact stream or turbo nozzle. Doing so may break the glass.
- Before triggering the gun, select a nozzle with a wide fan pattern.
- Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 ft. (1.2 m – 1.5 m) away from the cleaning surface. Then hold the nozzle at a 45 degree angle to the cleaning surface. Trigger the gun.
- Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.
Use the following table to determine which nozzle to use.
High-Pressure Wash
CAUTION
Always engage the trigger gun safety latch when the unit is not in use.
The trigger gun safety latch prevents the gun from being triggered
accidentally. Push the latch fully down to engage it.
WARNING
Injection hazard.
Fully unwrap and straighten high-pressure hose prior to and during each use
and do not allow it to become kinked. The high pressure hose features an outer
covering that provides strength to the hose. If the outer covering becomes
damaged, stop using the hose and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged
hose can develop a high-pressure leak and result in a possible injection or
other serious personal injury.
NOTICE
If the starter grip and rope become difficult to pull, squeeze the trigger to
relieve water pressure before attempting to start the engine again.
For high-pressure cleaning, refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more
information about which quick-connect nozzle to choose.
CAUTION
The narrow high-impact spray can damage some surfaces. A wide fan pattern
distributes the impact of the water over a larger area resulting in excellent
cleaning action with reduced risk of surface damage. Clean large surface areas
quickly using a wide fan pattern.
Low Pressure Wash
Detergent Use
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the
removal of difficult stains. Many detergents are customized for pressure
washers use on specific cleaning tasks. Pressure washer detergents are as
thick as water. Using thicker detergents – like dish soap – will clog the
chemical injection system.
NOTICE
Do not use household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial-grade solutions, which can damage the pump or cause property damage. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle. Always test in an inconspicuous area before beginning.
You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the chemical action of detergents with high-pressure rinses. On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work your way upward. This method prevents the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks. Begin high- pressure rinsing at the bottom and work your way upward. On particularly tough stains, use a brush in combination with detergents and high-pressure rinsing.
- Connect the detergent suction hose to the detergent barb on the pump
- Insert the detergent suction hose (end with filter) into the detergent bottle or container.
- Install the quick-connect detergent nozzle (black) in the spray wand. The detergent will only be drawn through the pump when the black detergent nozzle is attached to the end of the wand.
- Be sure water supply is on. Start the engine. Pull the trigger gun to spray the detergent solution.
WARNING
NEVER use bleach in the detergent tank. It will damage the pump and void the warranty
NOTICE
The trigger gun will only draw detergent from the tank when the black quick-
connect nozzle is installed in the wand.
NOTICE
When spraying detergent, the detergent will be diluted 1 :12. Approximately
20.3 oz. (0.6 L) of detergent will be consumed from the tank for every minute
sprayed.
System Flush
After using detergents, flush the suction system by placing the detergent
suction tube into a bucket of clean water.
WARNING
NEVER turn the water supply off before turning the engine off.
Depressurize System
To depressurize, turn the engine off, turn the water supply off and squeeze
gun trigger for at least 15 seconds after the engine is turned off.
WARNING
NEVER disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from the machine while the
system is pressurized.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury or property damage, always follow this procedure whenever spraying is stopped, when work is completed, and before checking or repairing any part of the system.
- Engage the trigger gun safety lockout.
- Turn the unit off.
- Shut off the water supply.
- Disengage the trigger gun safety lockout and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
- Re-engage the trigger gun safety lockout.
- Before overnight storage, long term storage, or transporting unit, disconnect the water supply and ensure that the engine switch is in the “OFF”
Operating Tips
CAUTION
Never operate your pressure washer without water.
CAUTION
Never connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply. Connecting your
pressure washer to a hot water source will significantly reduce the life of
the pump and will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Running the unit for more than one minute without spraying water causes heat
to build up in the pump.
In the event that the pump gets too hot, a thermal relief valve will open to
release the hot water. Running the unit without spraying water can damage pump
components and will void the warranty.
MAINTENANCE
Stopping the Engine
- After stopping the engine per Honda’s owner/operator manual, depressurize system by pressing the trigger gun to release any trapped pressure.
