How to Start Your Pressure Washer
To start your pressure washer for the rst time,

source capable of supplying water at a ow rate
greater than 5.0 gallons (18.9 liters) per minute
and no less than 20 PSI (1.4 BAR) at pressure
washer end of garden hose. DO NOT siphon
supply water.
2. Check that high pressure hose is tightly
connected to spray gun and pump. See Assembly
section.
3. Make sure unit is in a level position.
4. Connect garden hose to water inlet on pressure
washer pump.
NOTICE DO NOT run the pump without the water
supply connected and turned on.
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
5. Turn ON the water, press red button on spray gun
and squeeze the trigger to purge the pump system
of air and impurities.

hand.

WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or
taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you
could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
Operate this product ONLY outside far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in
carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
DO NOT run this
product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours,
even after this product has shut o.
ALWAYS place this
product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You
may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a re, resulting in death or serious
injury.
Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) clearance on all sides of
pressure washer including overhead.
