to warm up. Release the trigger soon after the engine
starts.
7. With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze the
wash wand trigger. If applicable; turn the unloader
valve while monitoring the pressure gauge to adjust
the pressure as desired. Do not exceed the machine
pressure rating. Release the wash wand trigger.
Pressure Washer operation
1. When using as a pressure washer use both hands to
grip and direct the wash wand for greater control.
Never direct the wash wand at people. High pressure
fluid can inject under skin resulting in serious injury.
Never direct wash wand at electrical equipment or
wiring to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
2. Control the flow of water with the trigger. Use care
when using the pressure washer. Holding the nozzle
too close to a surface can damage it. Test a small,
inconspicuous area to confirm the settings work as
desired.
3. Do not allow the jetter to run for extended period of
time with the trigger OFF. When the trigger is OFF,
water recirculates and it causes the water to heat
up.
4. Once pressure washing is complete, release the trig-
ger and turn OFF the engine as directed in the engine
manual. Squeeze the trigger and ensure all water
control valves are also in open position to release sys-
tem pressure. Never leave the system pressurized.
Hose Reel Brake Adjustment
The reels are equipped with an adjustable brake to prevent
the hose from playing off the reel under its own weight.
Tightening wingnut increases the drag on the reel, loos-
ening decreases the drag. Adjust as desired. The brake
only works in one direction (to resist hose moving off
reel)

3. Coil hoses and secure equipment appropriately. All
loose material must be removed. Transport remote reel
separate from jetter.
4. Jetter is equipped with wheels to allow transport over
smooth level surfaces.
5. Jetter weighs 195 kg. Use appropriate equipment
and methods to load and transport. Use all four points

when lifting. Use rigging with current certifications
per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Before performing any maintenance, engine switch
battery isolation switch should be in oFF position
and spark plug wires should be disconnected to pre-
vent inadvertent operation. open water control
valve to release any fluid pressure in system.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when per-
forming any maintenance to help protect against
drain chemicals and bacteria.
Cleaning
