TO ADJUST PRESSURE
The pressure setting is preset at the
factory to achieve optimum pressure
and cleaning. If you need to lower the
pressure, it can be accomplished by
these methods.
1.
Back away from the surface to be
cleaned. The further away you
are, the less the pressure will be
on the surface to be cleaned.
HOW TO USE
IMPORTANT: Read and understand
how to use the pressure washer
before operating.
PRESSURE WASHER
TERMINOLOGY
PSI:
Pounds per Square Inch. The
unit of measure for water pressure.
Also used for air pressure, hydraulic
pressure, etc.
GPM:
Gallons Per Minute. The unit of
measure for the flow rate of water.
CU:
Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied
by PSI. GPM x PSI = CU
Bypass Mode:
Allows water to
re-circulate within pump when the
gun trigger is not pulled.
Allowing the unit to
run for more than
two minutes without the gun
trigger pulled could cause
overheating and damage to the
pump.
Chemical Injection System:
Mixes
cleaners or cleaning solvents with the
water to improve cleaning
effectiveness.
Water Supply:
All pressure washers
must have a source of water. The
minimum requirements for a water
supply are 20 PSI and 5 gallons per
minute.
2.
Reduce the speed of the
gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the
engine down and the water
pressure will go down with it.
DO NOT attempt to
increase pump
pressure. A higher pressure
setting than the factory set
pressure may damage pump.
HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with a multi-adjustable spray wand
with both high and low pressure
settings. The high pressure setting is
for cleaning and rinsing, the low
pressure setting is for applying
chemicals or cleaning solutions to
surfaces.
When using the
high pressure
setting, DO NOT allow the jet-like
spray to come in contact with
unprotected skin, eyes, or with any
pets or animals. Serious injury can
occur.
Risk of injection or
injury to person. DO
NOT direct discharge stream
toward persons.
For high pressure operation, pull back
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
The nozzle at the end of the multi-
adjustable spray wand can be rotated
to change the high pressure spray
pattern from a 0º pencil stream to a
40º fan spray, as shown. Markings
have been placed on the nozzle to
help you select the spray pattern.
