READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT

 allow the high 

pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, 

or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate 

human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury. 

Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection 

injuries. 

DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician 

immediately!

NEVER 

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not 

smoke when filling fuel tank.

NEVER 

fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck 

to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and 

equipment before starting engine.

NEVER

 run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust 

contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT

 let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or 

immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with 

hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

NEVER

 pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This 

could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT 

use hot water, use cold water only.

NEVER

 turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to 

pump will result.

DO NOT 

stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates 

in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass 

mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be 

damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions, please call 

1-800-888-2468

 to 

speak to a service representative for further instructions.

NOTE:

 For every 7 gallons 

of water pumped 1 gallon of 

chemical/cleaning solution will be 

used.

3.  Set multi-adjustable nozzle

 to 

low pressure setting. See How 

To Use Wand paragraph in this 

section.

4.  After use of chemicals,

 place 

chemical hose into container 

of clean water and draw 

clean water through chemical 

injection system to rinse 

system thoroughly. If chemicals 

remain in the pump it could be 

damaged. Pumps damaged due 

to chemicals will not be covered 

under warranty.

NOTE: 

Chemicals and soaps will not 

siphon when spray wand is in the high 

pressure setting.

HOW TO APPLY 

CHEMICALS/CLEANING 

SOLVENTS

solvents is a low pressure operation. 

NOTE:

 Use only soaps and chemicals 

designed for pressure washer use.
