8. The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from work, closer for
tough areas. Be careful on painted or delicate sur-
faces, the pressure may damage surface if nozzle is
too close.
9. Small parts should be washed in a basket so the pres-
sure does not push them away. Larger, lightweight
parts should be clamped down so the pressure does
not push them away.
10. Turn the side detergent control knob clockwise (CW)
for detergent decrease. Wait for detergent to clear.
Always rinse with cold water after using detergent.
Rinse from the top to the bottom to prevent detergent
from dripping onto a rinsed area. For the best results,
contact your Hotsy dealer to help you select the best
detergent for your application.
To Stop
1. If detergents were used, draw clear water through the
detergent inlet line to purge detergent. Failure to do
so may clog detergent injector valve.
2. If burner was used, turn OFF burner switch and
allow pump to run cold water through coil for several
minutes.
3. Move throttle lever to idle position.
4. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
5. Close fuel shutoff valve (if so equipped).
6. Turn water supply OFF.
7. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun to relieve system
pressure.
STORAGE
DANGER: DO NOT store flammable liquids (gasoline,
diesel fuel, solvents, etc.) near pressure washer, or
in non-ventilated areas.
Protect from freezing by storing in a heated area, or by
flushing the system with antifreeze (use an automotive
engine antifreeze or windshield washer solvent to
antifreeze). To flush the system with antifreeze, the
following steps are to be followed:
1. Connect the water supply hose to the garden
hose connector located on the pump. Turn on water
supply.
2. Place the detergent inlet line into a container of
antifreeze.
3. Hold wand firmly, release trigger of trigger gun.
4. Start engine. Place throttle lever in Full Throttle
position.
5. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun and allow water to
flow from the end of the wand. Watch for antifreeze to
be drawn through the detergent inlet line. Allow the
antifreeze to be drawn into the system for 5 to 10
seconds.
6. Release the trigger of the trigger gun and stop
engine.
7. Turn off water supply and disconnect water supply
hose from the pump.
8. Attach a short length of hose (approximately 3 feet
long) to the garden hose connector located on the
pump. Install a funnel in the other end of the hose as
shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 - Winterizing
9. Hold wand firmly, release the trigger of the trigger
gun.
10. Start engine. Place throttle lever in the idle position.
11. Squeeze trigger on trigger gun.
12. Slowly pour antifreeze into the funnel. Continue to
add antifreeze until antifreeze flows from the end of
the wand.
13. Squeeze and release the trigger of the trigger gun
several times to antifreeze the unloader system.
14. Release the trigger of the trigger gun. Stop engine.
15. Squeeze the trigger of the trigger gun to relieve sys-
tem pressure.
For added protection, after antifreezing, disconnect the
pressure hose from the machine and remove the coil drain
plug (refer to Figure 1 for location.) After coil has drained,
replace pressure hose and coil drain plug. If the pressure
washer is not to be used for an extended length of time, it
is recommended that the system be flushed with
antifreeze for rust protection. Refer to the Gasoline
Engine Manual for engine storage information.
