100386 - 4200 PSI PRESSURE WAShER
OPERATION
14
NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for 2 pulls of the
recoil starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the
“RUN” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter.
To much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding
due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine
not to start.
NOTICE
If the engine does not start after 2 pulls, relieve pump
pressure by pulling the trigger on the trigger gun.
NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that
the pressure washer is on a flat, level surface. The engine
is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the
engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical
threshold.
Distance from Cleaning Surface
The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning surface
is another factor that affects the impact force of the water.
The impact force of the water increases as the nozzle is
moved closer to the surface. You can vary the impact force by
controlling
–
The nozzle’s fan pattern.
–
The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface.
–
The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface.
Never use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that is
susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow
high impact stream or turbo nozzle. Doing so may break the
glass.
1. Before triggering the gun, select a nozzle with a wide fan
pattern.
2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 ft. (1.2 m - 1.5 m) away
from the cleaning surface. Then hold the nozzle at a 45
degree angle to the cleaning surface. Trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the
cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is
achieved without damaging the surface.
OPERATION
Pressure Washer Location
This pressure washer must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least 3 ft.
(91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the pressure washer to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place
the pressure washer in a well ventilated area. DO NOT place the
pressure washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes
could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully
consider wind and air currents when positioning pressure
washer.
before Starting the Engine
1. Turn the water supply ON.
2. Pull the trigger on the trigger gun to purge all air from the
pump and hose. This may take several minutes.
3. Do not start the engine until a steady stream of water is
flowing from the nozzle.
CAUTION
Never operate your pressure washer without water.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the pressure washer is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Turn engine switch to “ON” position (A).
3. Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON” position (B).
4. Move the throttle lever (C) to the “FAST” position.
5. Move the choke lever (D) to the “CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. SEE NOTE.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever (D) to “RUN”
and adjust the throttle (C) as needed.
