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.) 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.
An easy way to reduce the water pressure is to
reduce the engine speed. (Never exceed 3600RPM
on the engine)
XI.) 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 engine OFF.
B.) Close engine fuel line valve.
C.) Turn water supply OFF.
D.) Actuate spray gun trigger to relieve system pressure.
E.) Remove garden hose.
F.) Remove pressure hose.
SAFETY FEATURES
I.) Safety Relief
The safety relief valve is a backup safety feature.
If the unloader malfunctions, the safety relief valve
will open and relieve system pressure.

WARNING: If the safety relief valve ever discharges
water, turn the engine off and do not use the
machine. See a dealer or call Product Support at
1-800-270-0810.
II.) Thermal Protector
The thermal protector protects your pump from
overheated water. When the spray gun trigger is
released, the pump
DOES NOT
stop pumping. Water is
circulated through the unloader valve and pump. The
circulating water heats up quickly. The thermal protector
discharges water when it reaches 140°F preventing
pump damage.
