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
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.
This pressure washer requires a water source that
flows at least 2.5 gallons per minute. Do not attempt
to siphon water from a non-pressurized container.
Place the pressure washer close enough to an
outside water source so that no more than 50' of
garden hose is needed.
Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
ASSEMBLY section for illustrations.
Connect the garden hose to water inlet on the
pressure washer pump and turn the water valve on
all the way.
IMPORTANT: Do not run pump without the water
supply connected and turned on. You must follow this
caution or the pump will be damaged.
Place the Run/Stop switch to Run.
Press the primer bulb 3 times, waiting 2 seconds
between each push
Note: For a warm engine, do not prime.
Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to relieve air
pressure caused by turning on the water. Water will
spew out the gun in a thin stream. Continue to hold
trigger until you have a steady stream of water and
no air remains.This will make it easier to pull start
the engine. Release the trigger.
Apply the safety latch to the spray gun trigger
(Figure 11).
Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until you feel
some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to
overcome compression, prevent kickback and start
the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly.
If after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, disengage the
spray gun safety latch, squeeze the trigger to relieve
water pressure, re-engage the spray gun safety latch
and pull the recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3
pulls).
How to Stop Your Pressure
Washer
Move the Run/Stop switch to Stop.
Simply shutting off the engine will not release
pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.
Note: A small amount of water will squirt out when
you release the pressure.
