How to Start Your Engine
The best way to start your pressure washer for the first
time is to follow these instructions step-by-step. You may
also refer to your engine owner’s manual. This information
also applies after you have let the pressure washer sit idle
for at least a day.
CAUTION: Before starting the pressure washer,
be sure you are wearing adequate eye protection.
• Place the pressure washer in an area close enough to an
outside water source capable of supplying water at a
flow rate greater than 3.3 gallons per minute.
• Check that the high pressure hose is connected to the
spray gun and to the pump. See “Preparing Pressure
Washer for Use” for illustrations.
• 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. Failure to do so will cause
damage the pump that is not warrantied.
• Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun until you have a
steady stream of water. This purges the pump of air and
impurities.
• Attach the nozzle extension to the spray gun. Tighten by
hand.
• Choose the nozzle you want to use and insert it into the
nozzle extension. See “How to Use the Nozzles” on
page 10.
• Engage the safety latch to the spray gun trigger
(Figure 11).
• Rotate the fuel shut-off valve to the “On” position (fully
counter-clockwise).
