Surface Preparation
Before starting any cleaning project, it is important to inspect the area for objects that could create a haz-
ard. Remove any objects from the work area that could be tripped over, such as toys or outdoor furniture.
Ensure that all doors and windows are closed tightly.
Water Supply (Cold Water Only)
Only draw water through the unit. For use with cold water supply only. Garden hose must be at least a 1/2”
(13 mm) in diameter. Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2 GPM (gallons per minute). Flow rate
can be determined by running the water for one minute into an empty 5-gallon container. The water supply
temperature must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
CAUTION
• Never use the pressure washer to draw in water contaminated with solvents (e.g. paint thin-
ners, gasoline, oil, etc.).
• Dirt in the water inlet will damage the unit. To avoid this risk, we recommend checking the wa-
ter filter (located inside the water inlet. To clean it out, see Maintenance section).
• Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit by using a clean water source and an
additional accessory water filter if required.
• To prolong the life of the unit, rest the unit for 5 minutes after every 30 minutes of use.
MACHINE ASSEMBLY
Your Yard Force pressure washer will need to be assembled before operation (tools not required):
1. Install the wheels. (Fig. 2)
The short axle (A) is first passed through the wheel (W) and then attach to the shaft under the frame of the
machine. Then insert a cotter pin (P) through the hole in the shaft to secure. Repeat that for the second
wheel.
