oPeratinG instructions
PriMinG tHe PuMP:
. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water
supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.
2. Lay the high pressure hose out to remove any loops. (Water flow will tighten
the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.)
3. Securely connect the gun assembly to the high pressure hose.
NOTE:
The quick-connect nozzle should NOT be connected to the gun
assembly at this time. See "Nozzle Connection," pg. 11.
4. With the trigger gun locked in the
off
position, turn the water supply
completely on. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun
and squeeze the trigger.
5. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly. This
allows the unit to prime and purge any air from the system. The unit is
primed when water flow is uninterrupted by air.
6. Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the
off
position. Securely connect the desired quick-connect nozzle. (See "Nozzle
Connection" pg. )

start-uP:
. Refer to the "Safety Warnings" on pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. With the gun locked in the
off
position, point the trigger gun away from
yourself or anyone else.
4. Disengage the safety lock-off on the gun and squeeze the trigger. Low
pressure water will begin flowing from the nozzle.
5.
be certain the trigger gun remains in an open position while starting
the engine.
Brace yourself as the gun will kickback from the high pressure
created by the pump once the engine has started.
6. Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this pressure washer for the
correct procedures needed to start the engine.
7. Once the engine has started, perform the following procedures with the gun
open:
a. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak
is found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See "Risk of Explosion or
Fire," pg. 4. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the
mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you
require service, contact your Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or
leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF
IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose before restarting the unit. See "Risk of
Injection," warnings, pg. 5. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced
and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of
the unit. If you require service, contact your Customer Service.
8.
be certain
to LOCK the trigger gun in the
off
position whenever changing
the quick-connect nozzles. NEVER look directly into the nozzle! High
pressure water creates a risk of severe injury!
9. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple
rule can cause premature failure of pump packing seals, resulting in costly
pump repair.
0. Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray and a variety
of spray patterns, there are many cleaning jobs that can be done without
the use of detergents. If a cleaning agent is required, see "Cleaning With
Detergents" pg. 5 for the correct procedures.
