Operation
•
Make sure the water supply hose is not kinked. A
kinked hose will provide insufficient water supply to
the pump and reduce its life. Make sure the hose
remains unkinked after moving the pressure washer.
Start the Engine to Power the Pump
1. Make sure water supply is connected and primed.
2. To prevent accidental spraying, engage the safety
latch on spray gun trigger by rotating it to the
locked position.
3. Follow the instructions in the Engine Owner’s
Manual for starting the engine.
- If the engine doesn't start on the first try,
pressure may build up in the pump. Relieve
pressure by squeezing the spray gun trigger
before attempting to start engine again. This
will make starting easier.
DANGER
Engine Exhaust
Do not inhale engine exhaust. It contains
dangerous carbon monoxide that can kill you.
Begin High Pressure Spray
WARNING
High - Pressure Spraying
Safety
•
Keep spray away from people. Never direct
discharge stream at or near any person. Do not
allow any part of the body to come in contact with
the fluid stream. High-pressure spray can cause
serious skin, eye, or falling injuries. Injection injury
will occur if high-pressure spray pierces the skin,
injecting liquid under the skin. Injection injury can
result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue
damage leading to infection, gangrene and possibly
amputation. Seek medical attention.
•
Do not secure trigger open. To reduce risk of
injury, do not attempt to secure the spray gun open
by blocking or tying the spray gun in the open
position.
•
Prevent slips / loss of balance . High-pressure
spray could cause you to lose balance from
kickback forces, and wet surfaces can be slippery
.
-
Keep good footing and balance at all times. Do
not overreach.
-
Do not stand on unstable support when spraying.
-
If spraying from an elevated surface, use fall
protection because spray gun kickback can
propel you off the elevated surface. When
spraying from a ladder or scaffolding, ensure it is
firmly anchored from sway or tip-over.
-
Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces.
Ensure there is adequate drainage to prevent
pooling of water.
• Prevent surface damage & flying debris.
Surfaces being sprayed must be strong enough to
withstand high-pressure spray or damage may
result. In addition, high-pressure spray will
dislodge unsecured objects as well as surface
chips and debris, resulting in hazardous flying
objects that can cause personal injury or property
damage. Do not spray brittle surfaces or
breakable, fragile, or unsecured objects such as:
o
stucco or laminar flagstone
o some painted surfaces
o windows or glass doors, or mailboxes they
may break)
o
light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxes
o
unsecured, lightweight objects
CAUTION: Water Pressure
Never operate the pressure washer with the tank
drain ball valve open. Operating the pressure
washer with the drain ball valve open will cause
poor pump inlet conditions and will damage the
pump.
Start-Up Procedures
CAUTION
Warranty Void
Running the pump dry will cause damage and void
the warranty.
