Operation
Running the engine on the power washer for 3-5 minutes
without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, can cause water
to reach temperatures above 125°F.
Carefully discharge warm water onto the ground.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
Stopping the Engine
1. Release the spray gun trigger.
2. To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch off.
3. Under normal conditions, slide the throttle to the right and
turn the engine switch to the off position.
4. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release retained high water pressure.
Engage trigger lock when not in use.
5. Turn OFF water supply.
6. Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
7. ALWAYS engage trigger lock when not in use.
Cleaning Recommendations
1. Before cleaning any object, select a small test area to determine
distance of wand from object and nozzle size.
2. Prerinse object to be cleaned with fresh water and garden hose
before using the pressure washer.
3. Keep the spray nozzle at least 8 inches away from object being
cleaned. The high pressure nozzle may remove finishes.
4. For best results use the pressure washer from top to bottom,
from left to right using a sweeping, overlapping motion.
5. Limit the work area to about 6 linear feet or 25 square feet.
6. If using a detergent do not allow it to dry on the surface being
cleaned. Allow detergent to remain on surface for about 3
minutes before rinsing with water.
