operation
1. Refer to the “Safety Precautions” pgs. 7-12 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Ensure that the burner switch is in the “OFF” position.
4. Pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and
squeeze the trigger. Hold the trigger gun open while starting the en-
gine according to the manufacturer’s instructions in the engine manual
accompanying the machine. Brace yourself for possible gun kickback
when the engine starts.
5. Once the unit has started, perform the following procedures with the
gun open:
a. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak
is found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See “Risk of Explosion or
Fire”, pg. 8. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the
mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you
require service, contact Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or
leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF
IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose before starting the unit. See “Risk of In-
jection or Severe Cutting Injury” pg. 9. Be sure that all damaged parts
are replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to
operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Customer Service.
6. The unit is now operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger the
gun several times. Rotate adjustable grip on the dual lance for high
and low pressure application. NEVER place hand or fingers in front of
the nozzle or look directly into the nozzle!
7. Do not allow the machine to operate in the bypass mode (with the
trigger gun closed) for more than three minutes without triggering the
gun. Failure to follow this simple rule can cause premature failure of
the pump packings.
