Read entire operator's manual before you attempt to assemble or operate your new pressure washer.
Your pressure washer requires some assembly and is ready for use after it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil and fuel.
If you have any problems with the assembly of your pressure washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at (888) 331-4569. If calling for assistance, please have the model, revision, and serial number from the identification label available.
1. Remove the parts bag, accessories, and inserts included with pressure washer.
2. Open carton completely by cutting each corner from top to bottom,
3. Ensure you have all included items prior to assembly, hums in the carton include:
Items in the carton include
2. Insert carriage bolts (B) through holes from inside of unit and attach a plastic knob (C) from outside of unit. Tighten by hand.
3. Place accessory tray (D) over holes (E) on handle (viewing from front of unit). Push tree clips (F) into the holes until they sit flat against the accessory tray.
4. Attach rope guide (G) through handle with plastic knob (H). Tighten by hand. Route engine recoil rope through guide.
5. Squeeze hose hook wireform (J) together and insert into grooves at bottom of accessory tray.
NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly filled with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.
NOTICE Check oil often during engine break-in. Refer to engine operator’s manual for recommendations.
Lubrication of c-rings is extremely important for installation and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic grease) during assembly helps seat o-rings properiy and provides an improved seal. !t also helps protect the o ring from damage by abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends the iife of the o-ring.
NOTICE ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on o-rings prior to assembling Ihe garden hose to the pump (A), high pressure hose (B), spray gun (C), and nozzle extension (D).
Lubricate all connections shown, fallowing these instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces prior to lubrication and assembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is all that is required.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to apply grease directly to o-rings where they are not accessible (QC fitting, M22 fitting).
NOTICE DC NUT run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces could cut through skin and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and possible amputation.
2. Attach other end of high pressure hose to high pressure outlet on pump. Tighten by hand.
3. Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to clean out any debris.
NOTICE DO WOT siphon standing water for the water supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100*F (38"CJ).
4. Before connecting garden hose to water inlet, inspect inlet screen (A). Clean screen if it contains debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if inlet screen is damaged.
NOTICE Using a One Way Valve (vacuum breaker or check valve) at pump inlet could cause pump or inlet connector damage.
NOTICE Using a One Way Valve (vacuum breaker or check valve) at pump inlet could cause pump or inlet connector damage.
5. Connect the garden hose (not to exceed 50 ft. (15 m) in length) to the water inlet. Tighten by hand.

You should not be able to press the trigger without pressing the red button. Replace spray gun immediately it it fails any ot these tests.
Spray Tip Maintenance
A pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the spray gun trigger may be caused by excessive pump pressure. The principal cause of excessive pump pressure is a spray tip clogged or restricted with foreign materials, Such as dirt, etc. To correct the problem, immediately dean the spray tip following these instructions:
1. Shut OFF engine and turn off water supply.
2. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained high water pressure._
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces could cut through skin and its underlying tissues. resulting in serious injury and possible amputation.

5. Store unit in a clean, dry area,
6. It storing tor more than 30 days, see Long Term Storage on next page.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which could JU\ cause bums, fire or explosion resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE You must prated your unit from freezing temperatures.
To protect the unit from freezing temperatures:
1. Empty detergent tank as follows:
a. Plane suitable container under barbed fitting on detergent tank and and remove detergent tube. Remove the tanks cover, tip pressure washer forward slightly and empty tank contents into container.
b. Reconnect hose to barbed fitting on tank.
c. Add 1 pint (0.5 liter) of clean fresh water to detergent tank and close tanks cover.
2. Hush detergent tank by running pressure washer with the black spray tip. Flush until tank is empty.
3. Follow steps 1-4 in the previous section After Each Use.
4. Use pump saver, Model 6039, to treat pump. This minimizes freeze damage and lubricates pistons and seals.

6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
If you do not plan to use the pressure washer for more than 30 days,, you must prepare the engine and pump for long term storage.
Protect Fuel System
Fuel Additive:
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
Storing the Engine
See the engine operator's manual for instructions on how to properly prepare the engine tor storage.
Protecting the Pump
