operating instructions

  

priming tHe pump:

 

.  It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water 

supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.

2.  Lay the high pressure discharge hose out to remove any loops.  Water flow 

will constrict the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.

NOTE: 

The nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly 
at this time.  See “Nozzle Connection” pg. 11.

3.  with  the  trigger  gun  locked  in  the  “OFF”  position,  turn  the  water  supply 

completely on.  Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun 
and squeeze the trigger.

4.  Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly.  This 

allows  the  unit  to  prime  and  purge  any  air  from  the  system.   The  unit  is 

primed when water flow is uninterrupted by air.

5.  Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the “OFF” 

position.  Securely connect the nozzle assembly.  (See “Nozzle Connection” 
pg. .)

CAUTION

risK of damage.

 

do not allow spray pattern 
to  remain  on a  fiXed area 
for an eXtended period of 
time.  possible  damage may 
occur to tHe area.

DANGER

risK  of  injection  causing 
severe injury!

-Keep clear of nozzle!  never 

place  Hand  or  fingers  in 
front of nozzle!

-do  not  direct  discHarge 

stream at people or pets!

-be  certain  tHe  nozzle 

is  securely  connected 
to  tHe  wand  to  prevent 
accidental discHarge!

start-up: 

.  Refer to the “Safety Precautions” pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit. 

2.  Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.

3.  with the gun locked in the “OFF” position,   Point the trigger gun away from 

yourself  or  anyone  else.    Ensure  the  water  supply  is  completely  turned 
on.

4.  Disengage  the  safety  lock-off  on  the  gun  and  squeeze  the  trigger.    Low 

pressure water will begin flowing from the nozzle.

5. 

BE cERTAiN the trigger gun remains in an open position while starting 

the engine.  

Brace yourself as the gun will kickback from the high pressure 

created by the pump once the engine has started.

6.  Steady  the  unit  during  engine  start-up.    (Refer  to  the  engine  manual 

accompanying this pressure washer for the correct procedures needed to 
start the engine.)

7.  Once the engine has started, perform the following procedures with the gun 

open:

a.  Inspect for system oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is found, TURN 

UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See “Fire & Ventilation Precautions”, #2 and 

#4, pg. 4. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the 

mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you 
require service, contact Customer Service.

b.  Inspect  high  pressure  hoses  for  kinking,  cuts  and  leaks.  If  a  cut 

or  leak  is  found,  DO  NOT  TOUCH  HOSE AT  LEAK!!!  TURN  UNIT 
OFF  IMMEDIATELY!    Replace  hose  before  restarting  the  unit.    See 

“Miscellaneous Safety Precautions” #6, pg. 6.  Be sure that all damaged 

parts  are  replaced  and  that  the  mechanical  problems  are  corrected 
prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Customer 
Service.

8.  Trigger the gun several times.  

Be certain

 to LOCK the trigger gun in the 

“OFF”  position  whenever  changing  the  quick  connect  nozzles.    NEVER 
look directly into the nozzle!  High pressure water creates a risk of severe 
injury!

9.  Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more 

than three minutes without triggering the gun.  Failure to follow this simple 
rule can cause premature failure of pump packing seals, resulting in costly 
pump repair.

10. Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray and a variety 

of spray patterns, there are many cleaning jobs that can be done without 
the use of detergents.  If a cleaning agent is required, see “Cleaning with 
Detergents” pg. 5 for the correct procedures.
