OPERATION
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
engine during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or engine seals, stop using the pres-
sure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may
cause property damage.
To stop the engine:
Press and hold the STOP switch until the engine stops.
Turn the fuel valve to the CLOSED position.
NOTE:
Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the
system.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clear-
ance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Al-
low a minimum of 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storage. Keep all body parts, clothing, combustible ma-
terials, and hoses away from the muffler. Heat created by
muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause
serious burns, ignite combustible objects, and/or damage
high pressure hoses that can result in an injection injury.
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 12.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due
to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of
control and injury to yourself and others.
Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
Push the lock out down and into its original position.
Start with the nozzle 1–2 ft. away from the cleaning surface
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can
damage the cleaning surface.
