The unit will not START.
Check gasoline supply. Check spark plug. Check
engine oil. See engine Manual
How can I safely fill the fuel tank?
Only add gasoline to a cool engine. If the unit has been in
operation, it should be allowed to sufficiently cool and
assure the unit is outdoors with adequate ventilation.
AM I not getting enough pressure?
Water supply must provide a minimum of 5 gallons per
minute at 40 p.s.i. Check all hoses for kinks or leaks.
The spray nozzle could be blocked or partially obstructed;
see page 10. Check the filter at the pump inlet for
debris. Always clean the filter or replace. This filter
protects the pump.
Operating the unit with the water supply turned off will
result in equipment damage. Never allow the unit to run
more than one (1) minute without pulling the trigger for
water to flow through the pump and eject heated water
from the pump
.
What should I do if spray penetrates my skin?
Do not treat it as a simple cut. Amputation, blindness or
other serious injury could result. Consult a physician
immediately. Be sure to inform the physician if soap or a
chemical solution was used. Take the label on the
chemical solution to the physician if possible to aid in
proper diagnosis.
What soaps or chemicals can I use?
Only products designed for pressure washer use.
Do not use caustic liquids!
.
BEFORE EACH USE
Check the engine oil level and the gasoline supply. Check
all hose connections before attempting to start the engine.
Do not run the engine on low oil.

Engine and pressure washer parts may be
hot even if the unit is not running.
Assure the pressure washer has a continuous flow
of water at all times. The garden hose must be a
minimum diameter of 5/8” and a maximum length of
50 feet.
Relieve trapped pressure from the system by squeezing
the trigger prior to performing any adjustments or
maintenance to the unit.
Fuel tank should never be filled indoors. Avoid
spilling fuel on hot engine and allow engine to cool
completely before fueling. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or when hot. Do not light a
cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
Gasoline vapors are highly explosive.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas is odorless, colorless and
is lethal. It is emitted by all internal combustion
engines. NEVER operate this unit inside a building,
garage or near windows and doors.
The trigger gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped. Relieve trapped water
pressure in the pump, hose and trigger gun by
squeezing the trigger AFTER the engine has
completely stopped.
