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
2.2 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".
• Make sure unit is in a level position.
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet. Tighten
by hand. Turn on the water.
WARNING! There MUST be at least ten feet of
unrestricted garden hose between the pressure
washer inlet and any flow shut off device, such
as a 'Y' shut-off connector or other
convenience-type water shut-off valve. Damage
to pressure washer resulting from disregarding
this warning will not be covered by the warranty.
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.
• Move control lever to the "Start/Choke" position.

• Place your left foot on the unit's lower frame.
• 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.
• When engine starts, slowly move control lever to
the "Run" position. If engine falters, move control
lever to the "Start/Choke" position, then to the
"Run" position.
• If engine fails to start after six pulls, move control
lever to the "Run" position. If engine fires, but does
not continue to run, move control lever to the
"Start/Choke" position, then to the "Run" position.
NOTE: The engine is equipped with a primer, which
may be required to aid engine start up when ambient
temperatures are below 40°F. To use primer, press
the prime button 3 times, waiting 2 seconds between
each press.
• With engine running, engage the safety latch to the
spray gun trigger.
NOTE: For a warm engine, be sure the control lever is
in the "Run" position.
• Ensure the nozzle extension is NOT attached to
the spray gun. The spray gun should be placed on
the handle storage hook, as shown here.
Latch
• Attach nozzle extension to spray gun. Tighten by
hand.
