HOW TO USE YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,
please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-800-270-1408.
How to Start Your Engine
To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these
instructions step-by-step. This starting information also applies
if you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.
• Place the pressure washer in an area close to an outside
water source capable of supplying water at a flow rate
greater than 2.2 gallons per minute.
• Check that the high pressure hose is tightly connected to
the spray gun and to the pump. See “Preparing Pressure
Washer for Use” on page 5.
• Make sure unit is in a level position.
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer pump. Turn ON the water.
CAUTION! Do Not run the pump without the water
supply connected and turned on. You must follow this
caution or the pump will be damaged.
• Squeeze trigger on gun until you have a steady stream of
water. This purges the pump of air and impurities.
• Attach nozzle extension to spray gun (Figure 8). Tighten
by hand.
• Position the nozzle in the low pressure mode (slide
nozzle forward) and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun
to relieve pressure caused by turning ON the water.
Water will flow out of the gun in a thin stream. Continue
to hold trigger until there is a steady stream of water
and no air remains in the system. Release the trigger.
• Engage the safety latch to the spray gun trigger
(Figure 9).
• Move the choke lever to the “Choke” position (Figure 10).
NOTE: For a warm engine, be sure the choke lever is in
the “Run” position.
• Move throttle lever to the “Fast” position, shown in
Figure 10 as a rabbit. Always keep the throttle in the
“Fast” position while pressure washing.
• Place your left foot on the lower frame and grasp the
handle as shown (Figure 11). Your unit may appear
slightly different from that shown here.
• Pull the starter grip handle lightly with your right hand
until you feel some resistance, then pull briskly.
