BEFORE STARTING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
Follow this procedure before using the washer and each time thereafter to maintain the unit in good condition:
1. Replace the shipping oil cap with the oil breather cap. The oil breather cap is included with the pump (#38) in a
small plastic bag. The oil breather cap must be installed immediately before use.
2. Check the pump oil level:
a. Pump oil level must be at the center of the sight glass. Do not over fill or under fill as it could damage
the pump.
b. Replace oil after the first 50 hours of use. Replace oil every 500 hours of operation thereafter.
c. Only use non-detergent, SAE 20-30 weight oil designed for pressure washer pumps.
3. Ensure the pressure washer is sitting level on firm ground.
4. Check for loose hardware. Tighten if necessary.
5. Check for water leaks at fittings. Tighten loose fittings or apply thread tape. Replace any damaged or
worn components.
6. Ensure that the plastic screen inside inlet port is in the water inlet swivel ring with the tip pointing up.
STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER
When using the pressure washer for the first time or after a long storage period, follow this procedure to ensure that the
pump primes:
1. Prepare unit and worksite. Turn on the supply water.
2. Hold the trigger for at least one minute until the spray leaves the nozzle in a steady stream (no sputtering).
3. Turn the motor switch to the ON position.
STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER
1. If it is necessary to stop washing, release the spray gun trigger and flip the safety latch into position under
the trigger.
2. Lay the spray gun down.
NOTE: The pump goes into bypass when the gun trigger is released and the motor is still running. Exit bypass
by pressing the gun trigger to spray water. Do not let the pump remain in bypass for longer than 1-2 minutes.
Prolonged bypass will damage the pump.
3. If you need to stop for more than 2 minutes:
a. Turn the motor switch to the OFF position.
b. Turn off the water supply.
c. Continue to squeeze the spray gun trigger until the water stops flowing to relieve the internal pressure.
d. Unplug the pressure washer from the power source.
e. If the unit will see freezing temperatures during its shutdown or storage period, refer to the Winterizing Your
Pressure Washer section.
