OPERATION
Pressure Washer location
This pressure washer must have at least five feet of
clearance from combustible material. Leave at least
three feet 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 pressure 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.
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.
NOTE
Starting the Engine Cont’d.
To activate the Trigger Start feature:
1. Connect and turn “ON” the water supply.
2. Make sure the fuel valve is in the “ON” position.
3. Move the Ignition Switch to the “ON” position.
4. Move the Trigger Start Switch to the “Enable”
position.
Only when the Trigger Start feature is active can the
engine can be started or stopped using the trigger of the
gun.
To start the engine using the Trigger Start feature:
1. Pull and hold the trigger of the gun.
2. The engine will attempt to start approximately 3
seconds after water begins to flow out of the gun.
Note: When the Trigger Start switch is in the “disabled”
position, the gun trigger will not start or stop the engine.
The water supply must be connected and turned “ON” for
the Trigger Start feature to function.
Note: Extension hoses may be added without affecting
this feature.
There is no need to manually choke the engine.
The Engine Control Module automatically chokes
the engine during startup. If the engine fails to start
on the first attempt, it will automatically try again
up to six (6) times, without need of extra pulling of
the trigger.
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTE
If the engine does not start after 2 pulls, relieve pump
pressure by pulling the trigger on the pressure washer gun.
NOTE
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the pressure washer is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
3. Press the Ignition Switch to “ON”.
4. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
5. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch
to the “START” position. Release as the engine begins
to roll over. If the engine fails to start within five
seconds, release the switch, move the choke to “RUN”
and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to
start the engine again.
6. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
7. Do not over-choke. As as soon as engine starts, move
the choke lever to the “RUN” position.
