Owners Manual
PW2530-AC
1.Verify that the vented YELLOW dip stick is installed in the
pressure washer pump.
Remove the RED shipping plug (if
present) from top of the pump and replace it with the
YELLOW oil level dipstick provided. Fig. 1
Pump oil should
be visible half way up sight glass. Use 30W non-detergent
hydraulic oil.
2.Before first use, check engine and pump oil levels.
For shipping purposes, engine oil has not been added.
Before each use, check engine oil level by unscrewing the oil
dipstick. Add motor oil (consult Honda manual for correct grade)
as required to bring to proper level, approximately mid-way on
dipstick.
3.Check water supply volume. To operate correctly, the unit
requires a water supply 25% greater than the units output. (i.e.
Model APS2500 = 4 GPM (gallons per minute), of water flow).
Damage to the pump will occur if there is not enough volume.
To check the water supply volume, obtain a empty 5 gallon
container and record the time it takes to fill the container. It
should be within the required GPM, if it is not then you should
find another water supply.
4.Connect a minimum 5/8” diameter garden hose to the water
inlet or bottom connection on the pump head (Female hose
connector). Fig. 4
5.Connect the high pressure hose to the water “Outlet”or upper
connection on the pump head. (Male quick connect nipple) as
shown in Fig. 5.
6.Turn the unloader knob on top of the pump head counter
clockwise to reduce the pressure prior to starting the engine.
7.Remove high pressure nozzle from quick coupler & open gun.
This will allow pump to be fully primed before starting engine.
8.Turn on the water supply and make sure that there is no leaks
in water supply hose.
9.Trigger the spray gun to purge all air from the system,
PRIOR
to starting engine.
10.Start the engine by following this procedure:
a) - Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON.
b) - Turn the GAS to ON.
c) - Turn the CHOKE to FULL.
d) - Push the THROTTLE lever to the ON position.
e) - Pull the STARTING cord. Gun should be held open ,with
water flowing freely while pulling starting cord.
f) - Once the engine has started, reduce the CHOKE until it is
OFF, and open the THROTTLE to full ON. It is now safe to
release trigger to the off position.
Use these instructions in
conjunction with instructions provided in the Honda manual.
