Wireless Remote Control
This pressure washer is equipped with a wireless remote control system for starting and stopping. The system consists of (4) main components:

1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Wireless Remote
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch

The Remote Control functions are enabled when: 1. The Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, AND 2. The Battery Switch is in the “ON” position. The Remote Control functions are disabled if either of the above conditions is not met. To start the pressure washer by Remote Control, press the “START” button on the Remote one time. The engine will attempt to start (6) times. The RCM controls the Auto Choke during each attempt to start. If the pressure washer does not start, call Champion Customer Care team for assistance at 1-877-338-0999. To stop the pressure washer by Remote Control, press the “STOP” button on the Remote one time.

Remote Control Power Consumption
While the Ignition Switch is in the “ON: position, the RCM is active and waiting for a remote signal. This function requires electrical current from the battery. If the Ignition Switch is left in the “ON” position for extended periods (several weeks), the battery can be completely drained. Moving the Ignition Switch to the “OFF” position disables the Remote functions, but the RCM still consumes approximately 2 mA from the battery. To prevent battery drain, press the Battery Switch to the “OFF” position. This disconnects power to the RCM so there is no current draw on the battery.

WARNING
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in a blowback of fuel at the operator while filling.

OPERATION

Pressure Washer Location
This pressure washer must have at least five feet of clearance from combustible material. Leave at least three feet 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 ON.
2. Pull the trigger on the pressure 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.

Wireless Remote Start
Wireless remote starting is only possible within 80 feet of the pressure washer. Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor choke. The remote system will automatically close and open the choke.

1. Make certain the pressure washer is on a flat, level surface.
2. Press the Ignition Switch to “ON”.
3. Press the Battery Switch to “ON”.
4. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position. (see below)
5. To start the engine, press and release the “START” button on the handheld Remote Control device. DO NOT hold the button down, only press the button once. The engine will attempt to start 6 times.
6. If the pressure washer fails to start, check the battery condition and cable connections.

Starting the Engine without Remote

1. Make certain the pressure washer is on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
3. Press the Battery Switch to “ON”.
4. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position. Release as the engine begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
5. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.

NOTE

• If the engine does not start after 2 pulls, relieve pump pressure by pulling the trigger on the pressure washer gun.
• 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.

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

1. The nozzle’s fan pattern.
2. The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface.
3. 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.

1. Before triggering the gun, select a nozzle with a wide fan pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet away from the cleaning surface. Then hold the nozzle at a 45 degree angle to the cleaning surface. Trigger the gun. 3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.

High Pressure Wash

CAUTION
Always engage the trigger safety latch when the unit is not in use.

• The trigger safety latch prevents the gun from being triggered accidentally. Push the latch fully down to engage it.
• Your unit is equipped with a quick connect nozzle port. Choose the appropriate nozzle tip for the job you are performing.

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.

NOTE

• Use only detergents specially formulated for pressure washers.
• 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.

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/motor off.

Depressurize System
To depressurize, turn engine/motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times.

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.

1. Engage the trigger safety latch.
2. Turn the unit off.
3. Remove the ignition cable from the spark plug. 4. Shut off the water supply.
4. Disengage the trigger safety latch and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
5. Re-engage the trigger safety latch.
6. Before overnight storage, long-term storage, or transporting unit, disconnect the water supply and turn off the fuel supply valve.

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 your 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 your warranty.

Stopping the Engine

1. Press the engine switch to the “Off” position. 2. Rotate the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
2. Depressurize system.
3. Turn off and unplug all hoses. Never start or stop the pressure washer unless the water supply is turned on.

Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power will be reduced by approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. Since the nozzle creates a fixed engine load, the engine RPM may decrease indicating that the engine is overloaded. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At sufficiently high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air- fuel ratio. Other high-altitude issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption, and spark plug fouling. To alleviate high-altitude issues other than natural power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a high- altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the Champion Power Equipment internet site. The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high-altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the table below.

Part Number Altitude

Standard main jet| ST188FD-1131000-17| 4000 Feet

(1200 Meters)

---|---|---
Altitude main jet| 188 .131017 .01

WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the engine. For operation at lower elevations, the standard main jet must be used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.

MAINTENANCE

The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.

WARNING

• Never operate a damaged or defective pressure washer.

WARNING
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.

NOTE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.

• Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner. Correct any issue before operating the pressure washer.

For pressure washers equipped with batteries for electric starting, proper battery maintenance and storage should be followed. An automatic battery charger with automatic trickle charging capability should be used to charge the battery. The maximum charging rate should not exceed 1.5 amps. Follow the instructions included with the battery charger. The battery should be fully charged at least once per month.

NOTE
A Float Charger will maintain the battery condition over long storage periods.

Winter Storage
Protect your pressure washer parts from freezing.

1. Apply all storage instructions from previous sections.
2. Make sure the pressure washer hose is free of all water before storing it for winter.
3. To prevent the pump from freezing you will need to insert RV antifreeze.
4. You will need approximately 6 ounces of RV Antifreeze, a funnel, and approximately 12” of garden hose or equivalent. See the diagram below.
5. Pour the antifreeze into the funnel, then pull on the engine recoil starter to create suction in the pump housing. Pull the recoil several times until antifreeze comes out of the pump outlet.

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (CPE), The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA.) Emission Control System Warranty Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and the state of California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission regulations.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board, US EPA, AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2012 small off-road engine and engine-powered equipment. In California, new, small off- road engines and new equipment that use small off-engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. In the other states, new engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine and equipment for the period listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment. Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel- injection system, ignition system, catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor. For engines less than or equal to 80cc, only the fuel tank and fuel line is subject to the evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this section.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE
This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the warranty period, an emission-related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.

OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE service outlet or alternate service outlet as described in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, CA. as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. Customer Service 10006 Santa Fe Springs Road Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 1-877-338-0999

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System Warranty Coverage.

APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model-year California small off-road engines (for other states, 1997 and later model-year engines). The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is:

• Designed, built and equipped to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board according to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, and
• Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period of two years.

THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS

• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
• Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
• Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
• Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
• The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
• CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the following circumstances:
  1. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND
  2. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100-mile limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
• CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
• Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
• Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s warranty obligation.
• Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.

EMISSION-RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: (using those portions of the list applicable to the engine)

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
You must take your CPE engine or the product on which it is installed, along with your warranty registration card or other proof of original purchase date, at your expense, to any Champion Power Equipment dealer who is authorized by Champion Power Equipment, Inc. to sell and service that CPE product during his normal business hours. Alternate service locations defined in Section (3)(f.) above must be approved by CPE before service. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine was not properly maintained and used.
