Operator’s Manual

Preparing the Washer-Mister Mode

INLET WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

SUCTION FEED

1. Water supply hose should be a good grade of garden 

hose with an I.D. of 3/8 in. (10mm) or 1/2 in. (13mm) 

and be no longer than 10’ in length (3m). 

  Attempting to operate the washer in suction feed without 

the correct hose will result in a lack of suction causing 

rapid wear of packings, valves and bearings that will 

dramatically shorten pump life. Symptoms include pump 

shuddering and flattening of the supply hose.

2. Water supply (or chemical) tank should be clean and 

located at or above the height of the unit’s water inlet.

3. In  static  draw  situations,  water  flow  rate  (GPM)  can 

be increased by elevating the water supply tank or 

changing to a larger inside diameter water supply hose.

IMPORTANT:  Inlet water temperature must not be more 

than 90° F (32° C).  Damage to the pump 

may result.

1. Remove shipping plug and install vented plug (A) on 

pump.

2. Check oil in pump.  With washer on level surface, the 

oil should be 1/2 full, at the center of sight glass (B).  If 

necessary, add SAE30W non-detergent oil, so level is 

1/2 full, at center of sight glass.
