OPERATION
STARTING PRESSURE WASHER
(Fig. 11 & 12)
1. Place pressure washer on a level surface. Turn on water.
2. Purge the system’s pump of air by releasing the safety and squeez-
ing the trigger of the spray gun. Attach wand/lance to spray gun.
3. Turn fuel valve to the ON position.
4. Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position.
5. Turn the engine OFF/ON switch to the “ON” position.
6. Holding the machine with your hand, pull the recoil handle (starter
cord) slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly. Squeeze the Gun
trigger and release the pressure after every failed attempt to start the
pressure washer in order to reduce back pressure.
7. Let the engine run for several seconds. Then gradually slide the
choke lever to the RUN position as the engine warms up until the
choke is fully slid to the RUN position.

WARNING:
Pulling the pull cord of the recoil starter rapidly can pull your arm towards the engine faster
than you can let go which could result in injury.
Always relieve pressure from spray gun before pulling starter cord, including every failed attempt to start engine.
To avoid recoil, pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
STOPPING PRESSURE WASHER
(Fig. 13)
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
3. Turn off water and squeeze the trigger handle to release all water
pressure.

PRESSURE WASHER RELEASE VALVE
If pressure within the tank exceeds the recommended PSI, excess water will begin to spray out of the pressure re-
lease valve located next to the water inlet. This is perfectly normal and acts as a corrective measure to ensure that
the right amount of pressure is being used.
However, if water seems to always be leaking, its time for your pressure release valve to be replaced. Please call
our customer service phone line to order parts and learn about the replacement process.
