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.
• 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.
• Squeeze trigger on gun to purge pump system of
air and impurities.
• Attach nozzle extension to spray gun. Tighten by
hand.
• Move the throttle lever to "Fast" position, shown as
a rabbit.

NOTE: For a warm engine, be sure the choke knob is
in the "Run" position.
• Place your left foot on the lower frame and grasp
the handle as shown. Your unit may appear
different than that shown.
Position the nozzle in the low pressure mode (slide
nozzle forward) and squeeze the trigger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure caused by turning
ON the water. Water will flow out of the gun in a
thin stream. Continue to hold trigger until there is a
steady stream of water and no air remains in the
system. Release the trigger.
Safety Latch
Engage the safety latch to the spray gun trigger.
• Pull the starter grip handle lightly with your right
hand until you feel some resistance, then pull
briskly.
• Return the starter grip handle slowly. Do Not let
rope "snap back" against starter.
• When engine starts, slowly move choke knob to
the "Run" position. If engine falters, move choke
knob to the "Choke" position, then to the "Run"
position.
• If engine fails to start after six pulls, move choke
knob to the "Run" position. If engine fires, but does
not continue to run, move choke knob to the
"Choke" position, then to the "Run" position.
NOTE: If the recoil starter is hard to pull, it may be
necessary to squeeze the gun trigger to relieve
internal pump pressure.
