CHECKLIST BEFORE
STARTING ENGINE
When you have reached this point, look back over the
assembly to see if you have performed all of the
following.
Check for properly tightened hose connections (high
pressure and water supply). Also, check to make
sure that there are no kinks, cuts, or damage to the
high pressure hose.
Check that oil has been added to the proper level in
engine crankcase before trying to start the pressure
washer.
Add proper gasoline to fuel tank.
Provide proper water supply (not to exceed 140°F).
Be sure to read Safety Rules and How To Use Your
Pressure Washer sections before using the pressure
washer.
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
You have assembled your high pressure washer and
have prepared the engine for starting. You are now
ready to clean your car, boat or the outside of a
building or whatever you plan to clean.
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.
Place the pressure washer in an area close enough
to an outside water source that can flow at a rate of
4.4 gallons per minute. Connect a garden hose to a
water spout.
Make sure the unit is in a level position.
Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
Preparing the Pressure Washer for Use.
(Pages 6-8)
Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on
pressure washer pump and turn on the water.
Note: Make sure the valve is opened completely.
WARNING! 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 the trigger on the spray gun (make sure the
nozzle is in low pressure mode) to relieve the air
pressure caused by turning ON the water. Water will
spew out of the gun in a thin stream. Hold the trigger
until a steady stream of water appears. This will
make it easier to pull start the engine. Release the
trigger.
Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger
(Figure 10).
Move the fuel valve to the ON position (Figure 11).
