1.
Check the water supply. Prior to using the Pressure Washer for the first time, it
is ESSENTIAL to verify that the water supply is adequate. The Pressure Washer
needs TWICE the water supply (or volume) than the stated water output (1.4
GPM). This Pressure Washer will require approximately 3 GPM to operate
correctly and efficiently. If the water is being supplied by a well/pump, make
certain the well/pump produces enough water to keep up with the Pressure
Washer’s water demands. Water supply hoses should be heavy duty to with
stand the forces involved. Water hoses up to 25 feet long must be 5/8” ID. Wa-
ter hoses up to 50 feet long must be 3/4” ID. Do not use hoses longer than 50
feet. The more minerals in the water (the harder the water) you use, the more
often mineral buildup will need to be cleaned out from the Nozzle of the Exten-
sion Wand (25).
Flow rate of the water supply must never be allowed to fall below 3 GPM.
To determine the water supply’s flow rate: Run the water at full for one minute
into a 5 gallon container, and measure the amount of water in the container.
CAUTION! If the Pressure Washer is run with an inadequate water supply, the
pump will cavitate. Cavitation causes the pump to operate loudly and will dam-
age it.
2.
Arrange for a proper electrical supply. This unit uses a large amount of cur-
rent, especially during start-up. Connect this unit only to a dedicated household
circuit capable of providing amply current to it. A dedicated circuit has no addi-
tional loads (running devices) connected to it. Shut off any appliances or lights
that dim or slow down while the Pressure Washer is running. For best results,
connect the GFCI Power Plug (13) to that circuit’s outlet that is nearest to the
circuit breaker panel.
