HOW TO  USE YOUR

PRESSURE WASHER

If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,
please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-800-743-4115.

Pressure Washer  Location

Pressure Washer  Clearance

The pressure washer must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm) from
structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around
pressure washer including overhead, for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing.

Place pressure washer in a well ventilated area, which will
allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place
pressure washer where exhaust gas could accumulate and
enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied
building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any
windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that
can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area
(Figure 7). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken
into consideration when positioning pressure washer.

How to Start Your Pressure Washer

To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow
these instructions step-by-step.This starting information
also applies if you have let the pressure washer sit idle for
at least a day.

1.

Place pressure washer near an outside water source
capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than
2.9 gallons per minute and no less than 20 PSI at
pressure washer end of garden hose.

2.

Check that high pressure hose is tightly connected to
spray gun and pump. See “Preparing Pressure Washer
for Use” for illustrations.

3.

Make sure unit is in a level position.

4.

Connect garden hose to water inlet on pressure
washer pump. Turn ON water.

5.

Attach adjustable nozzle extension to spray gun
(Figure 8).Tighten by hand.

6.

Position nozzle in low pressure mode (see “How to
Use the Adjustable Nozzle”) and squeeze trigger on
spray gun to relieve air pressure caused by turning ON
water.Water will flow out of spray gun in a thin
stream. Continue to hold trigger until there is a steady
stream of water and no air remains in system.This will
make it easier to pull start engine. Release trigger.

7.

Engage trigger lock on spray gun trigger (Figure 9).

CAUTION

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this

instruction will void warranty.

DO NOT run the pump without the water supply
connected and turned on.

• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through

windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

• DO NOT operate pressure washer inside any building or

enclosure.

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea,
fainting or death.
