WARNING:
Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without
the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to
the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal
relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the
internal temperature. The valve will then close.
Thermal Relief Valve (P, Fig. 3):
When the temperature inside the
3
P
pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of
water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The
valve will then close.
Detergent Injection System:
Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents
with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.
Water Supply:
All pressure washers must have a source of water.
The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 5 Gallons Per Minute.
If your water source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 30 ft. (9 m) max.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect
against backflow when connected to a potable water system.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. 4)
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum pres sure and
cleaning. If you need to lower the pres sure, it can be accomplished by these meth-
ods.
1.
Back away from the sur face to be cleaned.
The further away you are, the
less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
2.
Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white).
This nozzle delivers a less powerful stream
of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to
How To Use Spray Wand
.
3.
This pressure washer’s high pressure pump is equipped with an additional
feature that allows the pressure setting to be adjusted.
To lower the pressure, turn the pressure control knob on the pump counter-
clockwise to the desired pressure.
To return the pump pressure to the factory setting, turn the pressure control
knob on the pump clockwise until it stops.

NOTICE:
DO NOT overtighten the pressure control knob, if overtightened the knob
COULD break and result in immediate loss of water pressure and costly repairs to
the unit.
HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND
The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly.
Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following
chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.
