Operation
4. Trigger gun until water sprays from tip indicating
that air is purged from system.
5. Open fuel shutoff valve. Be sure spark plug ignition
cable is pushed firmly onto spark plug. Put switch
in ON position and put throttle in RUN position.
CAUTION
Do not allow pressure washer to idle more than 10
minutes. Doing so may cause recirculating water to
overheat and seriously damage pump. Turn off
pressure washer if not spraying or cleaning at least
every 10 minutes. If heated inlet water is used,
reduce time further. Do not operate pressure
washer with inlet water screen removed. Keep
screen clean. Screen keeps abrasive sediment out
of pump, Abrasive sediment can clog pump or
damage cylinders. Do not pump caustic materials;
such materials may corrode pump components.
CAUTION
Do not allow starter rope to snap back against
engine. Return carefully to prevent damage to
recoil.
6. Start engine.
If engine is cold, completely close engine choke.
Grasp starter rope, brace one foot on pressure
washer chassis and pull rope rapidly and firmly.
Continue holding rope as it returns. Pull and return
rope until engine starts. In cool weather, choke
may have to be kept closed for 10 to 30 seconds
before opening it to keep engine running. Other-
wise, open choke as soon as engine starts.
If engine is warm, leave choke open, or partly
open. Start engine as described in preceding para-
graph. When it starts, open choke completely.
Operate engine at reduced rpm to assist priming.
When water flows from return hoses pump is
primed. Raise engine to full rpm for normal pres-
sure washer operation.
7. Always engage gun’s trigger safety latch when
spraying is stopped, even for a moment. This
reduces risk of fluid injection or splashing in eyes
or on skin if gun is bumped or triggered acciden-
tally.
8. Always observe preceding CAUTIONS to avoid
damage to pressure washer.
9. See sandblaster kit manual for detailed cleaning
information if this accessory is used.
