5. Pull the rope starter slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull briskly. Do not allow the rope starter to snap back
against the engine. Return it gently to prevent dam-
age to the starter.
6. When the engine star ts, move choke lever until
engine runs smoothly. Move throttle lever to full throttle
position. When engine warms, move choke lever to
no choke position.
NOTE: If engine fails to start, refer to Troubleshoot-
ing Guide in this manual.
7. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun and allow air to purge
from system.
To Clean
DANGER: Do not place hands or fingers in front of
high pressure spray. Bodily injury may result.
1. Wash from the bottom to the top, using side to side
motions.
2. Do not wash at a 90
o
angle to work (straight at it).
This will allow water to splash back at you and
reduces your cleaning power. Wash at a 30
o
to 60
o
angle to the work. This will allow the water to splash
away from you and the water will wash the dirt away
faster and easier.
3. Use the full width of the spray pattern to wash in a
wide path. Overlap spray paths for complete cover-
age. Wash from side to side, using slow, steady
motions.
4. The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from work, closer for
tough areas. Be careful on painted or delicate sur-
faces, the pressure may damage surface if nozzle is
too close.
5. Small parts should be washed in a basket so the pres-
sure does not push them away. Larger, lightweight
parts should be clamped down so the pressure does
not push them away.
To Stop
1. Move throttle lever to idle position.
2. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
3. Turn fuel shut-off valve to OFF position (if so
equipped).
4. Turn water supply OFF.
5. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun to relieve system
pressure.
STORAGE
DANGER: Do not store flammable liquids (gasoline,
diesel fuel, solvents, etc.) near pressure washer, or
in non-ventilated areas.
1. Protect from freezing by storing in a heated area, or
by flushing the system with antifreeze (use an auto-
motive engine antifreeze or windshield washer
solvent to antifreeze). To flush the system with anti-
freeze, attach a short length of hose to the garden
hose connector located on the pump. Place the
other end of the hose into a container of antifreeze.
Start machine and allow to run until antifreeze flows
from the end of the wand. Squeeze and release the
trigger of the trigger gun several times to antifreeze
the unloader system. If the pressure washer is not to
be used for an extended length of time, it is recom-
mended that the system be flushed with antifreeze
for rust protection. Refer to provided
gasoline engine
manual
for engine storage information.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Unauthorized machine modification or use
of non-approved replacement parts may cause per-
sonal injury and/or property damage and will void the
manufacturer warranty.
Pump
Lubrication:
To lubricate pump, use 30W non-detergent
oil for pump crankcase. Crankcase must be filled to the
full mark on the dipstick or to the center of sight glass
window found on the rear or side of the pump, refer to
Figure 5.
During the break-in period, make sure the oil is
changed after the first 25 hours of operation. After that,
replace oil every 3 months or 300 hours of operation,
whichever comes first.
