STARTING AND STOPPING THE HIGH
PRESSURE WASHER
NOTE: Do not run the pressure washer
without water supply connected and turned
on, as this may damage the high pressure
seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make
sure the hose is not being restricted by tires,
rocks, or any other objects that may lessen
or prevent water flow to the pressure washer.
Before starting the motor
■ Connect all hoses.
NOTE:
Make sure the pressure washer’s
water intake screen is in place and
unclogged before connecting the garden
hose.
■ Turn on the garden hose then pull the trigger
to relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until
a steady stream of water appears.
NOTE:
Make sure the faucet is turned on
fully and that there are no kinks or leaks in
the hose.
Starting the motor
■ With the product turned off, connect the
pressure washer to the power supply.
■ Press the on/off switch to turn on the motor.
Stopping the motor
■ Press the on/off switch to turn off the motor.
■ Pull trigger to release water pressure.
NOTE:
The pressure washer may be on
and the system may have pressure even
when the pump and/or motor cannot be
heard running. Always use caution around
the pressure washer.
