MBR2528HCOA.1
Owner’s Manual
Pressure Washer: Machine that cleans dirty surfaces with
high pressure water.
Instructions for Installation/Set-up, Operation, Maintenance, & Storage
This pressure washer produces cold water high pressure spray. Cleaning chemicals may be incorporated into the
spray if desired. The pressure pump for this equipment is powered by a gasoline internal combustion engine.
WARNING: SPECIAL HAZARDS
CO Poisoning: Exhaust from engine contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning and possible death if inhaled. ONLY run pressure washer OUTDOORS and at least 20 feet from the home, away
from windows, vents and air intakes, to allow proper ventilation. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the
pressure washer, shut off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY.
Injection Injury: High-pressure spray can pierce skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. Such an injection injury can result in blood poisoning and/or severe tissue damage.
Flying Debris: High-pressure spray can cause flying debris and possible surface damage.
Electric shock: Operating equipment in wet conditions or near water can cause electric shock.
Chemical Exposure: Cleaning chemical vapors or contact with skin may be hazardous.
Fire/Explosion: Engine sparking can ignite fuel or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity. Hot exhaust from engine
can ignite combustible materials.
Burns: Pressure Washer pump and engine are hot surfaces that can cause burn injuries.
Detailed safety information about these hazards appears throughout this manual.
Equipment Protection Quick Facts
Inspect Upon Delivery: FIRST! Inspect for missing or damaged components. See “Initial Set-Up section for where
to report missing or damaged parts.
Add Engine Oil: Engine is shipped without oil. See engine manual for instructions on capacity and viscosity
recommendations.
Pump: Pump is shipped with oil: Check pump oil level before starting.
- Remove shipping tape and black vent plug (if present) from pump oil fill cap (CAT Pumps).
- Remove shipping plug and install vented fill cap (Comet Pumps).
Water Flow Requirements: Make sure your supply water flow rate is 20% higher than the pressure washer's flow
rate (see "Operations", section for detail), and that your water is clean and particle free.
Chemical Spraying: Use only approved pressure washer chemicals designed for high-pressure use.
Storage: Do not allow water to freeze in the pump, hose, or spray gun(s). See “Storage” for more information.

    Why won't my Brave Pressure Washer engine start?
    • T
      Teresa ReyesAug 1, 2025
      Your Brave Pressure Washer engine might not start due to several reasons: a low oil shutdown (fill the engine with the adequate amount of oil), a cold engine (choke the engine to start), no fuel (add gas to the fuel tank and make sure the fuel shutoff valve is open), pressure build-up from initial use (trigger spray gun to relieve pressure), the engine not being turned ON (place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position), or the spark plug wire not being attached (attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug).

    What to do if my Brave Pressure Washer has low or surging pressure?
    • B
      Beth YoungAug 10, 2025
      If your Brave Pressure Washer has low or surging pressure, it could be due to: * Insufficient water supply: Increase water flow and check for kinked or pinched hose. * Plugged inlet screen: Pull out and clean the screen carefully. * Incorrect nozzle: Change to the green, yellow, white, or red nozzle. * Plugged nozzle: Remove the nozzle and check for blockage. * Worn nozzle: Replace the nozzle. * Leak in the high-pressure line: Fix any leaks.

    How to fix no chemical injection in Brave MBR2528HCOA.1?
    • P
      Patrick SmithAug 21, 2025
      If your Brave Pressure Washer isn't injecting chemicals, the issue might be: the wrong nozzle is in use (change to the black nozzle), back pressure from an extra-long hose (try a shorter high-pressure hose), a leak in the clear chemical hose (replace the hose and use hose clamps if necessary), or the chemical strainer not being submerged (make sure the strainer is completely submerged in the solution).
