How do I start my pressure washer?
1. Make sure you have gas and oil in the engine
2. Turn the water on, then trigger the gun to make sure the water will flow smoothly out of the nozzle
3. Put the engine throttle control in the “Fast/Start” position. Set shut off switch to “ON”
4. Push the engine primer bulb three times (if applicable) or set choke to “ON”
5. Pull the trigger (to relieve any back pressure in the pump) while pulling starter cord
6. If the engine does not start after three tries, repeat steps 4 and 5
What type of oil do I use?
The pressure washer pump uses a 30 weight non-detergent oil. See maintenance schedule (Assembly Instructions Manual) for oil
change intervals. The engine oil should be changed according to the instructions in the included engine owner’s manual (using a 30
weight detergent oil)
Why don’t I have any water pressure?
• Is the water turned on? (It is a silly question- but I have to ask)
• Check for any kinks, leaks or blockage in hoses, fittings or nozzle
• Is the adjustable nozzle in the low psi position? If so, move it into the high psi position, (See page 6)
How do I get high pressure?
• For high pressure, engage the nozzle into the high psi position (See page 6)
How do I get the soap suction to work?
1. Connect clear plastic chemical suction tube to pump
2. Drop filter end of tube into detergent bottle. Make sure the filter is completely submerged in the detergent
3. Move the nozzle into the low psi position (See page 6)
Why doesn’t the pressure washer apply detergents with high pressure?
The reason you don’t apply detergents with high pressure is because the detergents “bounce” off the cleaning surface as fast as you
apply them. Detergent is only effective when you allow it time to work on the surface of whatever you are cleaning. For best results:
apply detergent at low pressure, wait 1-3 minutes to allow it to work, rinse the surface with high pressure
What maintenance do I need to perform on my pressure washer?
1. After turning off the pressure washer and the water, depressurize the hose by triggering the gun
2. Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose from the pump
3. Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge water from the pump. This will help protect the pump from damage
4. Do not store your pressure washer in an area where the temperature will drop below 32˚ F
