SET-UP PROCEDURES
These machines are designed for indoor use. Ma-
chine must be stored indoors when not in use.
1. Attach a 5/8" garden hose to inlet connector. Mini-
mum flow should be 6 gpm.
2. Attach high pressure hose to discharge nipple using
quick coupler. Lock coupler securely into place by
pulling back coupler collar and inserting it onto dis-
charge nipple, then pushing collar forward to lock in
place.
3. Attach wand to spray gun using teflon tape on threads
to prevent leakage.
4. Attach swivel connector on discharge hose to spray
gun using teflon tape on threads.
5. Remove red oil plug on top of pressure washer pump
and replace with oil dipstick supplied.
6. Check oil level on sight glass on side of pressure
washer pump. Oil should be visible one-half way up
sight glass. (Use 30 wt. non-detergent oil only.)
7. On 230V and 460V machines, attach appropriate
plug end (not included) to power cord.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With power switch in OFF position, plug power cord
into a grounded type of receptacle of proper voltage
and amperage reading. Then push GFCI reset but-
ton at end of power cord if required.
2. Turn on water at faucet and pull trigger on spray gun
allowing water to flow until all air has discharged from
system. Check for water leaks; tighten as needed.
3. Pull wand coupler collar back and insert pressure
nozzle into coupler then secure by pushing collar
forward.
4. With spray gun off, push green start switch/toggle
switch to ON position and check for leaks.
5. With spray nozzle pointed away from you or any-
body else, press trigger on spray gun to obtain pres-
surized spray.
GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES
1. Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from the
surface being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get un-
der the material and lift it off.
2. When washing large objects, use detergent injector
to apply detergent (see section “How to use the De-
tergent Injector”). Start washing from the bottom and
work up. Better detergent economy and faster re-
sults will be obtained by allowing the detergent to
set 5-10 minutes. After washing, rinse from the top
down.
3. Cleaning heavy dirt or material away with a hard
stream of clear water is recommended before using
a cleaning agent.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
1. Rinse all lines (and injector) with clean water, to re-
move any soap residue.
2. Turn motor off.
3. Push red stop switch/toggle switch to OFF position.
4. Open spray gun to relieve remaining pressure.
5. Remove water supply hose.
6. In freezing conditions, disconnect water supply and
open spray gun to allow water to drain, then turn off
motor.
CAUTION: Do not allow pump to run longer than 5
minutes without water. Disconnect all hoses to al-
low water to drain.
CAUTION: With machine off, open spray gun to re-
lease pressure before removing discharge hose.
