OPERATION
PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used
for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.
GPM: Gallons per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI equals CU.
Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within the pump when the gun trigger is
not pulled. This feature allows the operator to release the trigger gun and reposition
themselves without having to turn the engine off in between cleaning actions.
WARNING: Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without
the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to
the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal
relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the
internal temperature. The valve will then close.
Thermal Relief Valve (P, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the
5
P
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: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water
to improve cleaning effectiveness.
Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum
requirements for a water supply are 20 psi and 5 Gallons Per Minute. If your water
source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 30 ft. (9m) max.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect
against backflow when connected to a potable water system.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum pres sure and
cleaning. If you need to lower the pres sure, it can be accomplished by these meth-
ods.
1. Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The further away you are, the
less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less powerful stream
of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to How To Use Spray Wand.
NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting
than the factory set pressure may damage pump.
HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND
The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly.
Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following
chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.

T
V
pre-assembled to the surface cleaner. These
nozzles are appropriate for use with pressure
washers operating at 2200 to 3400 psi with a
maximum flow rate of 3.0gpm.
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation
felt while squeezing the trigger and/or a higher
vibration in the surface cleaner) may be the
result of a clogged or dirty nozzle.
• Turn off the pressure washer and shut off
the water supply. With the surface cleaner
on the ground, pull trigger to release
water pressure.
• Disconnect surface cleaner from spray wand.
• Using a straightened paper clip (U) or nozzle cleaning tool (not provided), free
any foreign materials clogging or restricting the nozzle (V).
• Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back flushing (running the
water through the nozzle backwards or from the outside to the inside).
NOTE: Never point the spray bar (T) at your face.
• Reconnect the surface cleaner to the spray wand.
• Turn on the water supply and start the pressure washer.
CLEAN THE WATER INLET FILTER (FIG. 10)

STORAGE
ENGINE
Consult the Engine Owner’s Manual for manufacturer’s recommendations for
storage.
TO PREVENT FUEL-RELATED PROBLEMS
1. Add Ethanol Shield
TM
fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage.
If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only
fresh gasoline.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes
to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the
carburetor.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of fuel in the carburetor
fuel bowl. Running time should be less than 3 minutes.
