WARNING
RISK OF FIRE.
DO NOT USE WITH
FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS.

6. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun and allow air and pres-
sure to purge from system.
WASHING PROCEDURES
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
allows 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
surfaces, the pressure may damage surface if nozzle
is too close.
5. Small parts should be washed in a basket and larger,
lightweight parts should be clamped down so the
pressure does not push them away.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
1. Move throttle lever to idle position.
2. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
IMPORTANT: Do not use choke lever to stop engine
as damage to engine may occur.
3. Turn fuel shutoff valve to OFF position (if so
equipped).
4. Turn water supply OFF.
5. Squeeze trigger of trigger gun to relieve system pres-
sure.
STORAGE
DANGER: Do not store flammable
liquids (gasoline, diesel fuel, sol-
vents, 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 automotive engine anti-
freeze or windshield washer
solvent to antifreeze). To flush
the system with antifreeze, attach a short length of
hose to the garden hose connector located on the
pump. Place the other end of the hose into a con-
tainer 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 ex-
tended length of time, it is recommended that the
system be flushed with antifreeze for rust protec-
tion. Refer to provided
gasoline engine manual for
engine storage information.
