PRE-OPERATION CHECK
❑
Pump oil (SAE 30W non-detergent oil)
❑
Clean, fresh, cold water supply (5 gpm • 5/8" • 20 psi)
❑
Hose, wand, nozzle (nozzle size per serial plate)
❑
Water filter (intact, non restrictive)
❑
Proper electrical supply, receptacle and circuit breaker.
SET-UP PROCEDURES
These machines are designed for indoor use.
Machine must be stored indoors when not in use.
1. Attach a 5/8" garden hose to inlet connector. Mini-
mum flow should be 5 gpm.
2. Attach high pressure hose to discharge nipple using
quick coupler. Lock coupler securely into place by
pulling back coupler collar and inserting it onto dis-
charge nipple, then pushing collar forward to lock in
place.
3. Attach wand to spray gun using teflon tape on threads
to prevent leakage.
4. Attach connector on discharge hose to spray gun
using teflon tape on threads.
5. Remove oil plug on top of pressure washer pump
and replace with dipstick supplied. (This may be
installed from the factory.)
6. Check oil level on oil dipstick on top of pump. Oil
should be visible one half way up sight glass (30W
non-detergent).
7. For operator safety and to comply with electrical stan-
dards, the PDE2-15021D comes with a 120V 20 amp
plug end that will fit only into a 20 amp receptacle.
8. On 230V machines, attach appropriate plug end (not
included) to power cord.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With power switch in OFF position, plug power cord
into a grounded type of receptacle of proper voltage
and amperage reading. Then push GFCI reset but-
ton at end of power cord if required.
2. Turn on water at faucet and pull trigger on spray gun
allowing water to flow until all air has discharged
from system. Check for water leaks; tighten as
needed.
3. Pull wand coupler collar back and insert pressure
nozzle into coupler then secure by pushing collar
forward.
4. With spray gun off, turn power switch to ON position
and check for leaks.
5. With spray nozzle pointed away from you or any-
body else, press trigger on spray gun to obtain pres-
surized spray.
GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES
1. Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from the
surface being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get un-
der the material and lift it off.
2. When washing large objects, use detergent injector
to apply detergent (see section “How to Use the De-
tergent Injector”). Start washing from the bottom and
work up. Better detergent economy and faster re-
sults will be obtained by allowing the detergent to
set 5-10 minutes. After washing, rinse from the top
down.
3. Cleaning heavy dirt or material away with a hard
stream of clear water is recommended before using
a cleaning agent.
