TO SIPHON CHEMICALS/CLEANING SOLVENTS

Siphoning chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation.

NOTE:

Use only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use.  Do not

use bleach.

1.

Press chemical hose onto barbed fitting

located

near high pressure hose connection of pump as
shown.

2.

Place other end of chemical hose with filter on it
into container

holding chemical/cleaning solution. 

3.

Install low pressure (black) nozzle

into quick con-

nect fitting of wand, see 

How To Use Wand 

para-

graph in this section.

4.

After use of chemical

, siphon clean water through

chemical hose to rinse it and pump clean.
Chemicals which remain in pump can damage it. Damage to pump due to
chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: 

Chemicals and soap will not siphon when wand is in the high pressure

setting.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT

allow the

high pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin,

eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection
injuries. 

DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physi-

cian immediately!

Never 

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not

smoke when filling fuel tank.

Never 

fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to

provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equip-
ment before starting engine.

Never

run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine

exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT

let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or imme-

diately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with
hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

Never

pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This

could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT 

use hot water, use cold water only.

Never

turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage

to pump will result.

DO NOT 

stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump oper-

ates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in
bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can
be damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions please call 1-888-559-8550 to
speak to a service representative for further instructions.
