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.

 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 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.

 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 10).

 Move the Throttle Control Lever to the Fast

position.

 Set Choke Lever to Choke position.

Note: This is a multiposition choke.

Note: For a warm engine, be sure the Throttle Control

Lever is in the Fast position and the Choke Lever is

in the Run position.

 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.

Note: Always keep the Throttle Control Lever in the

Fast position when operating the pressure washer.

 When the engine starts, gradually move the Choke

Lever from one position to the next until it is in the

Run position.

If after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, disengage the

spray gun safety latch, squeeze the trigger to relive

water pressure, reengage the spray gun safety latch,

move the Choke Lever to the Run position and pull

the recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3 pulls).

How to Stop Your Pressure

Washer

 Move the Throttle Control Lever to the Slow position.

 Wait for the engine to idle down.

 Move the Throttle Lever Lever to the Stop position.

 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.

Figure 10  Squeeze trigger to relieve water pressure,

release trigger and turn the safety latch

ON.
