Setting-Up the Machine
Pre-Operation Checklist
;
1.) Position the machine for easy access to all controls, power, and water
supply.
;
2.) Position the machine outdoors on a solid level surface.
;
3.) Fill gas tank with gasoline.
;
4.) Check engine oil. Use SAE 30 motor oil.
;
5.) Check the pump oil. Make sure it is to the full mark on the dipstick. Use a
NON-DETERGENT SAE 30W oil (Item# 4043).
;
6.) Check for worn or damaged equipment. Replace if necessary.
;
7.) Check and clean the nozzle orifice.
;
8.) Check and clean the water inlet screen and filter.
Water Supply Checklist
;
1.) Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can cause excess pump
wear and reduce performance.
;
2.) An insufficient water supply will damage your pump. Make sure the water
supply is steady and is more than 3 gpm. If you can fill a 1 gallon bucket
in less than 20 seconds, you have a sufficient water supply.
;
3.) The water supply garden hose must have an inside diameter of at least
5/8”. If the hose is more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least
3/4”.
;
4.) Never use a reservoir tank as a water source. This pressure washer is
designed for a pressurized water source such as a city water faucet.
Sucking water out of a tank may cause pump cavitation and damage to
your pump.
;
5.) Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water supply. Do not use rigid
piping.
Read and understand the entire manual
before operating the pressure washer.
Follow the checklists below every time
you use the pressure washer.
