HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure
washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at
1-800-222-3136.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
To start your engine-powered pressure washer for the
first time, follow these instructions step-by-step. This
starting information also applies whenever you start
the engine after you have let the pressure washer sit
idle for at least a day.
,_ CAUTION! Before starting the pressure
washer, be sure you are wearing adequate
eye protection.
• Place the pressure washer in an area close
enough to an outside water source capable of
supplying water at a flow rate greater than
2.4 gallons per minute.
• Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
"Assembling Your Pressure Washer" for
illustrations.
• Make sure unit is in a level position.
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer pump. Turn ON the water.
,_ CAUTION: Do Not run the pump without the
water supply connected and turned on. You
must follow this caution or the pump will be
damaged.
• Rotate the fuel valve lever to the "On" position.
• Move the choke lever to the "Closed" position.

• As shown in the illustration to the right, ensure the
nozzle extension is NOT attached to the spray gun.

the illustration used here. Place the spray gun on
the handle storage hook.

• Grasp the spray gun with your left hand and
squeeze the trigger on the spray gun. Water will
flow out of the spray gun in a thin stream. Continue
to squeeze the trigger. Your left hand will also
serve to steady the unit.
• Grasp the recoil starter handle with your right
hand, as shown. Pull the starter handle lightly until
you feel some resistance, then pull briskly.
• Return the starter grip handle slowly. Do Not let
rope "snap back" against starter.
• If the choke lever was placed in the "Closed"
position to start the engine, move it slowly to the
"Open" position as the engine warms up enough to
run smoothly.
• With engine running, engage the safety latch to the
spray gun trigger.
