PREPARING PRESSURE

WASHER FOR USE

If you have any problems with the assembly of your

pressure washer or if parts are missing or damaged,

call the Pressure Washer Helpline at -800-270- 408.

To prepare your pressure washer for operation you

will need to perform these tasks:

 emove shipping cap from your pump and install oil

dipstick.

 Attach the handle and attach the wire form that

holds high pressure hose and spray gun.

 Connect high pressure hose to the spray gun and

the pump and connect water supply to the pump.

 Add oil to engine crankcase.

 Add fuel to fuel tank.

Remove Shipping Cap / Install Oil

Dipstick

To prevent oil from leaking from the pump, a shipping

cap has been installed on the oil breather of the

pump.

You must remove the shipping cap and the install oil

dipstick for your pressure washer to operate properly

(Figure 1).

unning unit with the shipping cap installed will

damage the pump and void your warranty.

Attach the Handle

 Place the handle onto the bottom of the handle

supports already connected to the main unit. Make

sure the holes in the handle align with the holes in

the handle supports (Figure 2).

Note: It may be necessary to move the handle

supports from side to side in order to align the handle

so it will slide over the handle supports.

 Insert the carriage bolts from the outside through

the holes on the handle and attach the plastic

knobs on the inside. Tighten the knobs by hand

(Figure 3).

 Insert the wire support with the longer arm

positioned on the left. From this view (from rear of

unit), the hook resembles a J (Figure 4).

Add Engine Oil

WARNING! Any attempt to crank or start the

engine before being properly serviced with the

recommended oil will result in an engine

failure.

Note: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use

only high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SF,SG, SH or SH/CD rated SAE 30

weight.

Select the oils viscosity grade according to your

expected operating temperature:

Do Not Use SAE 0W40 Oil.

Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity

oils will result in increased oil consumption when used

above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more

frequently to avoid possible damage from running low

on oil.

To fill unit with oil:

 Place pressure washer on a level surface.

 Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap

(Figure 5).

HOW TO USE YOUR

PRESSURE WASHER

If you have any problems operating your pressure

washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at

-800-270- 408.

How to Start Your Engine

The best way to start your engine-powered pressure

washer for the first time is to follow these instructions

step-by-step. This starting information also applies

whenever you start the engine after you have let the

pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.

 This pressure washer requires a water source that

flows at least 3.0 gallons per minute. Do not attempt

to siphon water from a non-pressurized container.

Place the pressure washer close enough to an

outside water source so that no more than 50' of

garden hose is needed.

 Check that the high pressure hose is tightly

connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See

ASSEMBLY section for illustrations.

 Connect the garden hose to water inlet on the

pressure washer pump and turn the water valve on

all the way.

WARNING! Do not run pump without the

water supply connected and turned on. You

must follow this caution or the pump will be

damaged.

 emove dual lance from the spay gun.

 Squeeze trigger on spray gun until a steady

stream of water appears.

 Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger

(Figure 10).

 Place the un/Stop switch to Run.

 Press the primer bulb 3 times, waiting 2 seconds

between each push

Note: For a warm engine, do not prime.

 Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until you feel

some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to

overcome compression, prevent kickback and start

the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly.

If after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, disengage the

spray gun safety latch, squeeze the trigger to relieve

water pressure, re-engage the spray gun safety latch

and pull the recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3

pulls).

How to Stop Your Pressure Washer

 Move the un/Stop switch to Stop.

 Simply shutting off the engine will not release

pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the

spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.

Note: A small amount of water will spray out when

you release the pressure.

How to Use the Spray Gun and Dual

Lance

You now should know how to START your pressure

washer and how to STOP it. The information in this

section will tell you how to adjust pressure and apply

chemicals using the spray gun and dual lance.

DANGER! Never put hands in front of nozzle.

 For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle

between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.

 If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using

high pressure, you may damage the cleaning

surface.

 Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning

automobile tires.
