HOW TO USE THE PRESSURE WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,
please call the pressure washer help-line at

.
Pressure Washer Clearance
Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration
when positioning pressure washer.
Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
Operate this unit on a stable surface.
Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a
ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.
High pressure spray could cause you to fall if you are too
close to the cleaning surface.
WARNING
Water Supply (Cold Water Only):
Do not draw non-water liquids through the unit. For use with cold
water supply only.
Water hose must be at least a 1/2 inch diameter.
Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2GPM (gallons per
minute).
Flow rate can be determined by running the water for one minute
into an empty 5-gallon container.
The water supply temperature must not exceed 104°F
(40°C).
Step 1:
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position.
CAUTION:
To prolong the life of the unit, it is recommended to rest the unit
5 minutes after every 30 minutes of use.
CAUTION:
Never use the pressure washer to draw in water
contaminated with solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oil, etc.).
Dirt in the feed water will damage the unit.
To avoid this risk, we recommend checking
the water filter (located inside the water inlet; to clean it
out see Maintenance section on page 13).
Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by
using a clean water source and an accessory water filter if
required.
Step 2:
Fasten the other end of the Zinc Connect to the or quick-connect
coupling onto the garden hose and then attach the quick-
connecting coupling to the inlet adaptor, as shown in the Figure
Step 3:
Insert the desired wand into spray gun, and twist 1/4 turn until
rectangular tab appears.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces
can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while
system is pressurized.
ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger,
to release high pressure, every time you stop engine. Engage
trigger lock when not in use.
WARNING
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray which
increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
Always wear eye protection when using this equipment or in
vicinity of where equipment is in use.
Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are wearing
adequate eye protection.
Step 4:
To use another wand, reverse Step 3 and insert desired wand by
