OR’S MANU

AL  

IMPORTANT: The trigger gun provided with this 
pressure washer is equipped with a manual trigger 
lock to prevent accidental operation of the trigger 
gun. Refer to Figure 4. The trigger lock should be used 
whenever the trigger gun is not in use.

To Start

IMPORTANT: The water must be turned on before 
starting. Running the pump dry will cause damage 
and void warranty. 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the machine to run in 
bypass for more than 10 minutes at any one time or 
damage to pump may occur.

1.  Turn water ON.

2.  Hold gun fi rmly, squeeze trigger of trigger gun and turn 

pump switch ON. Allow air to purge from system.

3.  If HOT water is desired, turn burner switch ON. 

Adjust thermostat to desired temperature. The burner 
will fi re immediately with a small puff of smoke. If 
smoke continues refer to the 

Oil Burner

 section in 

this manual. When the trigger gun is closed the burner 
will turn off.

To Clean

1.  Insert the detergent inlet line into the container of  

mixed detergent. The detergent metering valve can 
be opened gradually to meter the desired amount 
of detergent. The fl ow may be observed through the 
clear detergent line. Allow detergent to reach the end 
of the wand before proceeding.

2.  Select the width of your nozzle spray pattern by 

turning the black knob on the nozzle. See 

Figure 5.

 

Pattern can be from 0° through 80° fan spray. Release 
the trigger of the trigger gun prior to making any spray 
pattern adjustments.

3.  Wash from the bottom to the top, using side to side 

motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows the 
detergent to soak as you work toward the top.

4.  Do not wash at a 90

o

 angle to the work (straight at 

it). This will allow water to splash back at you and 
reduces your cleaning power. Wash at a 30

o

 to 60

o

 

angle to the work. This will allow the water to splash 
away from you and the water will wash the dirt away 
faster and easier.

in the OFF position prior to plugging in. 

CAUTION: This pressure washer is equipped with a 
UL approved ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) 
power cord. Use UL grounded type receptacles 
of proper voltage and amperage ratings. Where a 
properly grounded receptacle is not available, it is 
the personal responsibility of the owner to have one 
installed. Always disconnect power before servicing 
your pressure washer.

Connect electrical cord and test the GFCI using the reset 
and test procedures conveniently located on the GFCI 
device. The GFCI must be reset and tested with every use. 
Do not use machine if the GFCI device fails test.
