IMPORTANT: The trigger gun provided with this
pressure washer is equipped with a manual trigger
lock to prevent accidental operation of the trigger
gun. Refer to Figure 4. The trigger lock should be used
whenever the trigger gun is not in use.
To Start
IMPORTANT: The water must be turned on before
starting. Running the pump dry will cause damage
and void warranty.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the machine to run in
bypass for more than 10 minutes at any one time or
damage to pump may occur.
1. Turn water ON.
2. Hold gun fi rmly, squeeze trigger of trigger gun and turn
pump switch ON. Allow air to purge from system.
3. If HOT water is desired, turn burner switch ON.
Adjust thermostat to desired temperature. The burner
will fi re immediately with a small puff of smoke. If
smoke continues refer to the
Oil Burner
section in
this manual. When the trigger gun is closed the burner
will turn off.
To Clean
1. Insert the detergent inlet line into the container of
mixed detergent. The detergent metering valve can
be opened gradually to meter the desired amount
of detergent. The fl ow may be observed through the
clear detergent line. Allow detergent to reach the end
of the wand before proceeding.
2. Select the width of your nozzle spray pattern by
turning the black knob on the nozzle. See
Figure 5.
Pattern can be from 0° through 80° fan spray. Release
the trigger of the trigger gun prior to making any spray
pattern adjustments.
3. Wash from the bottom to the top, using side to side
motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows the
detergent to soak as you work toward the top.
4. Do not wash at a 90
o
angle to the work (straight at
it). This will allow water to splash back at you and
reduces your cleaning power. Wash at a 30
o
to 60
o
angle to the work. This will allow the water to splash
away from you and the water will wash the dirt away
faster and easier.
