The following cleaning procedure will help you organize
your cleaning task and ensures that you will achieve the best
results in the shortest amount of time. Remember to use the
spraying / cleaning techniques mentioned in the following
section.
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning job, prepare the
surface you intend to clean. Clear furniture from the area
and make sure that all windows and doors are closed tightly.
Also, protect all plants and trees near the cleaning area with
a drop cloth. A covering ensures that your plants won’t be
sprayed by the detergents.
ALWAYS use this start up procedure to ensure that the unit is
started safely and properly.
If water has frozen in the pressure
washer, thaw the pressure washer in a
warm room before starting. DO NOT pour hot water on or
into the pump; internal parts will be damaged.
1. Check engine oil levels. Add oil as necessary.
2. Check fuel level. Add unleaded gasoline (rated 86 octane or
higher) as required
DO NOT refuel a hot engine. Refueling a
hot engine could cause a fire. Use only
fresh, clean regular or unleaded gasoline. Close the fuel
shutoff valve during refueling.
3. Attach a garden hose to the inlet side of the pump and
connect it to the water supply. Use a hose with an internal
diameter (I.D.) of 5/8” (1.58 cm) and a length of 50 ft. (15 m) or
less.
Some local plumbing codes require
backflow prevention when connecting to
a fresh water supply. Install a backflow preventer upstream
from the pump if necessary.
a. If inlet water pressure is over 100 psi, install a regulating
water valve at the garden hose connection.
b. Do not exceed 100˚ F (38˚ C) inlet water temperature.
NOTE
: The inlet water supply must have a minimum flow rate of
5 gpm (19 lpm).
4. Turn the water supply ON.
Never run the unit dry. Be sure the water
supply is completely turned on before
operating the unit.
5. Trigger the gun until water sprays from the tip indicating
that all air is purged from the system. Set the trigger safety
latch.
6. Push the primer bulb three or four times (See Figure 12).
Move the throttle fully to the right to the
Run
or
Rabbit
position.

7. Start the engine (See Figure 13). Unlock the trigger safety
latch on the gun. Grasp the starter rope and brace one foot on
the chassis. While squeezing the trigger on the gun, pull the
starter rope rapidly and firmly (See Figure 13). Continue
holding the rope as it returns. Repeat these steps until the
engine starts.
When pulling the starter rope, make sure
to keep your hand and arm clear of the
engine and cart components.
Never let the starter rope return by itself.
Doing so could jam the recoil system.
8. If the engine does not start after two or three pulls or if the
rope is hard to pull, squeeze the gun trigger to release the
pressure that has built up in the high pressure hose. Repeat
Steps 7 and 8 until the engine starts.
