CAUTION! There MUST be at least ten feet
of unrestricted garden hose between the
pressure washer inlet and any flow shut off device,
such as a ‘Y’ shut-off connector or other con-
venience-type water shut-off valve. Damage to
equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction
will void warranty.
7. Turn ON water and squeeze trigger on spray gun
to purge pump system of air and impurities.
!
5. Adding on extension to the supply hose will
reduce water flow rates. Check for adequate
water flow rate each time an extension is added.
Water flow rates can be increased by using the
largest possible internal diameter supply hose.
IMPORTANT: Inlet water temperature must not be
more than 40°C or damage to the pump may result.

Inlet Water Supply
Requirements
1. Inlet water supply must be a minimum of 20
PSI (1.4 bar). Attempting to operate the washer
with less than adequate water supply will cause
rapid wear of packings, valves and bearings that
will dramatically shorten pump life. Symptoms of
inadequate water supply are pump shuddering and
flattening of the supply hose.
2. Inlet water flow must be at least 125% of pump
rated flow (see the following table). Check volume
by timing how long it takes to fill a 20 litre container.
For example, a flow rate of 10 L /min would fill a
20 litre container in 2 minutes.
3. Water supply hose should be a good grade of
garden hose with a minimum inner diameter of
12mm, and no longer than 15.24m. If a longer
supply hose must be used, check to be certain
flow is at least equal to the ‘L/min Supply Required’
value for your washer (See the following table).
4. If a non-pressurised (static draw) water supply
is used, check to be certain flow is at least 125%
of pump rated flow (see the following table).
In static draw situations, water flow rate (L/min)
can be increased by elevating the water supply
tank or changing to a larger inside diameter water
supply hose.
Operating Checklist
IMPORTANT: Before starting the engine review the
unit’s assembly to confirm you have performed all of
the following:
1. Make sure handle is in place and secure.
2. Check that oil has been added to proper level in
engine crankcase and the pump.
3. Add proper fuel to fuel tank.
4. Check for properly attached hose connections.
5. Check to make sure there are no kinks, cuts, or
damage to high pressure hose.
6. Provide a proper water supply (not to exceed 40°C)
at an adequate flow.
7. Be sure to read all safety rules and how to use
your pressure washer in the following sections
before use.
If you have any problems operating your machine,
please call the Technical Helpline on 0800 387 678.
