PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the pressure washer, check for loose or missing
parts and for any damage which may have occurred during shipment.
Handle Installation
Remove the handle by pressing the handle release buttons. Turn
the handle around and insert back into the carrier, pushing down until
the handle release buttons lock into place (see figure 1).
START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Make sure water supply is connected and turned on.
2. Release gun safety if locked.
3. To allow air to escape from the hose, squeeze trigger on
the gun until there is a steady stream of water coming
from the nozzle.
4. Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the gun outlet and
the male connector of the wand.
5. Insert the nozzle wand into the gun wand and tighten the
fitting securely.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1.
Check oil and fuel level.
2. Set the engine switch to the “ON” position.
3. Push the primer as necessary.
4. Squeeze trigger on pressure washer to release pressure
while pulling on the engine starter rope with a fast steady
pull. Pressure may otherwise build up making starting the
unit difficult.
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
Attach the high pressure hose to the fitting located on the front
side of the side panel (outlet connection). Only high pressure (2700
PSI) pressure washer hoses should be used.
WATER CONNECTION
Before connecting the inlet hose to the unit, run water through
the garden hose (not supplied) to flush out any foreign matter. The
inlet hose will be connected to the fitting (Figure 2) .
Following is information concerning the four nozzles provided
with your pressure washer.
NOTE: The force of the spray on the surface you are clean-
ing increases as you move closer to the surface.
0° High Pressure (Red): The water stream discharged is very
aggressive. Use with extreme caution to prevent damage to the sur-
face being cleaned or injury to persons or animals.
15° High Pressure (Yellow): This is the nozzle used for most
cleaning applications. It provides wide coverage and a powerful
water stream.
40° High Pressure (White): This nozzle is used for cleaning
with a wider coverage over a larger area with a
powerful water stream.
65° Low Pressure (Black): Provides low pressure spray and a
wide coverage. Used primarily when operating the chemical injector
to apply chemicals.
To change nozzles, push back the quick connect on the end of
the wand and insert the nozzle. Release the quick connect to lock in
place (see figure 3).
