supply adequate voltage to the burner, resulting in
smoke coming from the heat exchanger during
operation.
WARNING: Check that there are no leaks in the
vicinity of the pump before starting engine.
Once the engine is started, begin cleaning. If the engine
doesn’t start on the first try, pressure may build up in the
pump. Relieve the pump pressure by squeezing the
spray gun trigger. This will make starting easier.
WARNING: Do not inhale the exhaust from the
engine. Do not point the lance at anyone even if the
engine has stopped because there could be a
release of water under retained pressure if the spray
gun trigger is actuated.
X.) For Hot Water
1. If HOT water is desired, make sure there is fuel in the
fuel tank, turn the heat switch ON, and adjust the
thermostat to the desired temperature. The burner will
fire when the trigger is squeezed. You may need to
initially adjust your burner for peak performance. See
the “Oil Burner” section under INSTALLATION. When
the trigger is released or the temperature setting is
reached, the burner will automatically turn off.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the machine in hot mode
without any fuel in the fuel tank.
The fuel pump will be
damaged if it is run dry.
XI.) Cleaning
WARNING: Wear eye, ear, hand, foot and skin
protection at all times while operating this pressure
washer.
DANGER: Do not point the spray wand at yourself or
at any person. Bodily injury may result from water
under high pressure.
CAUTION: Be careful on painted or delicate
surfaces. The pressure may damage the surface if
the nozzle is too close.
IMPORTANT: Your spray gun is equipped with a
built-in trigger safety latch to guard against
accidental trigger actuation and potentially
dangerous high pressure spray. Rotate the safety
latch to the locked position when not spraying.
A.) Hold the lance with two hands, have a sturdy stance.
B.) Point lance at dirty surface and squeeze trigger.
C.) 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.
D.) Use the width of the spray pattern to wash in a wide
path. Overlap spray paths for complete coverage.
E.) The nozzle should be 12” to 24” from the work,
closer for tough areas.
F.) Small parts should be washed in a basket so the
pressure does not push them away. Larger, light
weight parts should be clamped down.
G.) The pressure washer is set and locked to the
maximum rated pressure when it leaves the factory.
There are two easy ways to adjust your pressure.
a. Rotate the grip slightly to allow some flow to pass
through the left lance. See section VIII, step C.
b. Or, turn the black unloader knob counterclockwise.
WARNING: Do not alter the unloader valve’s
maximum pressure. Excess pressures could cause
serious injury and/or pump damage. Any alteration
other than turning the adjustment knob will void
your warranty.
XII.) Shut-Down Instructions
WARNING: Do not leave an operating machine
unattended. Always shut the machine OFF and
relieve the pressure before leaving the machine.
Never disconnect the high pressure hose from the
pump or spray gun while the system is pressurized.
Depressurize the system by squeezing the spray
gun trigger after the engine is turned OFF.
A.) Turn heat switch OFF and run cold water through the
coil for 3 minutes.
B.) Turn engine OFF.
C.) Turn water supply OFF.
D.) Actuate spray gun trigger to relieve system pressure.
E.) Remove garden hose.
F.) Remove pressure hose.
