How to Start Your Pressure Washer
PW2700 / PW3100B
To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions
step-by-step. This starting information also applies if you have let the
pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.
1. Place pressure washer near an outside water source capable of
supplying water at a flow rate greater than 3.8 gallons per minute and
no less than 20 PSI at pressure washer end of garden hose. DO NOT
siphon supply water.
2. Make sure unit is in a level position.
3. Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer
pump and ensure the filter screen is in place. Turn ON the water.
4. Squeeze the trigger on the gun until you have a steady stream of
water. This purges the pump of air and impurities. Attach wand
extension to spray gun. Tighten by hand.
5. Choose desired spray tip, pull back nozzle extension collar, insert spray
tip and release collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in
place. It is important to make sure the tip is securely in place prior to
using the unit. If the tip is not secure, it may become dislodged
possibly causing injury or damage to objects nearby.” See
Spray Tips.
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump without the water supply connected and
turned on.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction
will void warranty.
