GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and save these instructions.
Read carefully before attempting to ssemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY FROM SPRAY
Always wear safety glasses or goggles and appropriate clothing.
WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING

• The pump is designed to pump nonflammable or non-explosive fluids. These pumps are intended to pump clean filtered water only.
• Do not operate in or around an explosive environment.
• Do not alter the pump from the manufacturers design.
• Do not operate gasoline engines in a confined area; always have adequate ventilation.
• Do not exceed the pump specifications in speed or pressure.

WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES

• Do not allow children to operate the pump.
• Never point the high-pressure discharge at a person, any part of the body or animals.
• Maximum water temperature is 100 °F.

WARNING: This product and its exhaust can expose you to chemicals including lead and lead compounds, and carbon monoxide, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more  nformation go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
WARNING: Adequate protective guards must cover all moving parts.
Perform routine maintenance on the pump and components.
WARNING: Use only components that are rated for the flow and pressure of the pump, this would include hose, fittings, safety valves, spray guns etc.
DESCRIPTION
Designed to work at 3400 RPM when coupled to a gasoline engine.
The 1″ (25.4 mm) hollow shaft and universal mounting flange provides connection to most 1″ (25.4 mm) shaft, horizontal engines.
SPECIFICATIONS
Oil Capacity: 12.4 oz. (365 ml) Ports

• Inlet Port (Supplied): Standard garden hose connection with inlet strainer.
• Discharge Port (Supplied): Quick Connect connection.

Thermal Relief Valve (Supplied):
When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve will then close.
Detergent Injection System (Supplied): Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.
NOTICE: Allowing the unit to run for more than two minutes without the gun trigger being pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump.
Do not let the pressure washer run for more than two minutes in Bypass Mode. Turn off the engine and relieve the pressure in the gun during these extended situations.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect against backflow when connected to a potable water system.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the shaft key into the key way and apply a light coating of anti-seize on the engine shaft and key.
2. Align the two key ways and push the pump completely onto the engine.
3. Install all four (4) bolts and tighten evenly. Torque to 14–17 ft-lbs.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve opti mum pressure and cleaning.
This pressure washer’s high pressure pump is equipped with an adjustable unloader feature that allows the pressure setting to be adjusted.
To lower the pressure, turn the pressure control knob on the pump counterclockwise to the desired pressure. To return the pump pressure to the factory setting, turn the pressure control knob on the pump clockwise until it stops. NOTICE: DO NOT try to tum pressure regulator knob past the built-in stop or damage to the pump will result.
NOTICE: DO NOT overtighten the pressure control knob. If overtightened the knob COULD break and result in immediate loss of water pressure and costly repairs to the unit.
NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump

HOW TO APPLY CHEMICALS/ 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 or other caustic chemicals.
To Apply Chemicals:

1. Ensure detergent siphon hose is attached to barbed fitting location near high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.

2. Place other end of detergent siphon hose with filter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning solution.
   NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped 1 gallon of chemical/ cleaning solution will be used.

3. Place the spray wand in the low pressure or siphon setting.

4. After use of chemicals, place detergent siphon 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 chemical residue will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if spray wand is not in the low pressure/siphon setting.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Risk of burn hazard.
When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to hot surfaces, water pressure or moving parts that can cause serious injury or death.
NOTE: The Pump was filled with oil at the factory. The preferred oil is SIMPSON Premium Pump Crankcase Oil (part #80138). If this oil is not available, an SAE 15W-40 oil may be® used. Change the pump oil after the first 50  hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter, or every 3 months.
TO CHECK OIL
The oil level should come to the dot in the middle of the sight glass (AA). HOW TO CHANGE PUMP OIL

1. Loosen pump oil fill plug (BB).
2.  Place a container under the pump oil drain plug (CC).
3. Remove pump oil drain plug.
4.  After oil is drained, replace pump oil drain plug. Tighten securely.
5.  Refill pump using SIMPSON Premium Pump Crankcase Oil. If this oil is not available, an SAE 15W-40 oil may be used.
6.  Replace pump oil fill plug and tighten securely.

CLEAN THE WATER INLET FILTER
This screen filter should be checked periodically and cleaned if necessary.

1. Remove filter by grasping end and removing it from water inlet of pump.
2. Clean filter by flushing it with water on both sides.
3. Re-insert filter into water inlet of pump. NOTE: Convex side faces out.

NOTE: Do not operate the pressure washer without filter properly installed.
STORAGE
The manufacturer recommends using SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER Pump Guard (part

80130) or equivalent when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when

freezing temperatures are expected. SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER Pump Guard is environmentally friendly.
NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use only SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER Pump Guard or equivalent. Other products could be corrosive and/ or contain alcohol which may cause pump damage.

1. Turn off pressure washer and disconnect hoses from pump.
2.  Unscrew bottle valve from Pump Guard bottle and remove seal.
3. Screw bottle valve back onto bottle.
4. Attach bottle to water inlet of pump.
5. Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.
6. With ignition switch off, simultaneously pull starter rope and squeeze bottle. Repeat until protector fluid exits pump outlet.

N O TE: This step may require two people.
