Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMpORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Work piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. CHECK THE WATER SUPPLY. Prior to using
the Pressure Washer for the first time, it is
ESSENTIAL to verify that the water supply is
adequate. The Pressure Washer needs TWICE the
water supply (or volume) of the listed water output
(1.3 GPM). This Pressure Washer will need about
2.6-3 GPM to operate correctly and efficiently. If
the water is being supplied by a well/pump, make
certain that the well/pump produces enough
water to keep up with the Pressure Washer’s
water demands. Water supply hoses should be
heavy-duty. Water supply hoses up to 25' long must
be
5
/
8
" ID. Water supply hoses up to 50' long must
be
3
/
4
" ID. Do not use hoses longer than 50'. The
flow rate of the water supply must never be allowed
to fall below 2.6 GPM.
To determine the water supply’s flow rate: Run the
water at full for one minute into a 5 gallon container,
then measure the amount of water in the container.
cAUTION!
If the Pressure Washer is run
with an inadequate water supply, the pump
may cavitate. Cavitation causes the pump
to operate loudly and will damage it.
3. USE PROPER ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. This
unit uses a large amount of current, especially
during start-up. Turn off power switch, then
connect this unit only to a dedicated household
circuit with no additional loads (running devices)
connected to it. For best results, use the outlet
that is nearest to the circuit breaker panel.
4. PLAN OUT THE JOB Plan out areas to be
cleaned, how many sessions will be necessary,
and how long the individual sessions will
need to be. Plan to clean the higher areas
first. Plan a safe direction for runoff, and plan
on working your way in that direction.
5. Clear the area of all objects that are not being
cleaned. If any water-sensitive or delicate items
cannot be moved, cover them. If detergent is to
be used, cover or remove any plants or animals.
Disconnect power to and protect any nearby
electrical wiring. Close windows and doors.
6. Place the Pressure Washer in a location
which is protected from runoff. The location
should be close enough so that the water
supply hose will reach every portion of the
area with some slack for movement.
7. Route the power cord along a safe route
to reach the work area without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the power cord
to possible damage. The power cord must
reach the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working.
