5* ENG D25803

The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing

damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping

and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to

be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the

spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strong surfaces like

concrete and steel.

Operating without flow of water will result in equipment damage. Operating the pressure wash-

er with water supply shutoff will void your warranty. You should never run this pressure washer

for more than 2 minutes without pulling the trigger to allow cool water to enter the pump and

the heated (recirculated) water to exit.

Know Your Pressure Washer

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING

YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with

the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future

reference. Quick Spray

PRESSURE WASHER

High Pressure Pump: Increases the pressure of the water supply.

Engine: Drives the high pressure pump.

High Pressure Hose: Carries the pressurized water from the pump to the gun

and wand.

Spray Gun: Connects with wand to control water flow rate, direction, and

pressure.

Quick Connect Wand: Wand is equipped with a female quick connect coupler on

the end. This allows the user to quickly change out high-pressure nozzles for

different spray patterns and change to the soap nozzle for low pressure and

chemical/soap applications. See Operation section.

Chemical Hose: Allows cleaners or cleaning solvents to be mixed with the

pressurized water stream. See How To Siphon Chemicals/Cleaning Solvents in

Operation section of this manual.

D25803 8_ENG

BASIC ELEMENTS OF ENGINE

Refer to the engine manual for location and operation of engine controls.

Choke Control: Opens and closes carburetor choke valve

Throttle Control Lever: Controls engine speed.

Starter Grip: Pulling starter grip operates recoil starter to crank engine.

Fuel Valve Lever: Opens /closes connection between fuel tank and carburetor.

PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY

NOTE: Become familiar with this terminology before operating.

PSh Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also

used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.

GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water through

the pressure washer.

CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI.

Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the pump is recirculating water because the

trigger of the spray gun is not pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode for more than

two (2) minutes, the water temperature can rise to a dangerous level and may

damage internal components of the pump. Any damage to pump due to these

causes will not be covered under warranty.

DO NOT allow your unit to operate in bypass mode for more

than two minutes at any time. Overheating of pump can

cause damage to pump.

Thermal Relief Valve: In an effort to prevent damage, pumps are ThermalRelief

equipped with a thermal relief valve. This valve will open when Valve

the temperature inside the pump rises too high. This valve will

then release agush of water in an effort to lower the temperature

inside the pump. Immediately after this occurs, the valve will

close.

Chemical Injection: Feeds cleaning agents into the pump to mix with the

pressurized water and help in cleaning.

Water Supply: All pressure washers must have asource of water. The

minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 5 gallons per minute.

HOW TO USE

IMPORTANT: Read and understand how to use the pressure washer before

operating.

TO ADJUST PRESSURE

The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and

cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these

methods.

1. Back away from the surface to be cleaned. The further away you are, the

less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.

DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure

setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

2. Change to a wider spray pattern nozzle. See How to Use Wand

paragraph in this section.

3. Reduce the speed of the gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the engine down

and the water pressure will go down with it.

9-ENG D25803

TO USE WAND

Your pressure washer is equipped with five spray nozzles. Each nozzle is color

coded and delivers a specific spray pattern for aparticular cleaning purpose.

The size of the nozzle determines the size of the fan spray and the pressure out

of the nozzle. The 0°, 15° , 25°, and 40° nozzles are high pressure nozzles. The

chemical nozzle is a low pressure nozzle.

The nozzles are housed in receptacles on the panel of the pressure washer

handle. Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern.

Risk of injection or injury to person. De not direct discharge

stream toward persons, unprotected skin, eyes, or any pets

or animals. Serious injury can occur.

Changing Nozzles

DO NOT attempt to change nozzles

while pressure washer is running.

Turn engine off before changing nozzles.

1. Pull quick connect coupler back and insert nozzle.

2. Release quick connect coupler and twist nozzle to

make sure it is secure in coupler.

Risk Of Injury. Ensure nozzle is

completely inserted in QC socket, and

QC snap ring is fully engaged (forward) before squeezing gun trigger.

0° nozzle - Red. This nozzle delivers apinpoint

stream and is extremely powerful. It covers a very

small area of cleaning. This nozzle should only be

used on surfaces that can withstand this high

pressure such as metal or concrete. Do not use on

wood.

15° nozzle - Yellow. This nozzle delivers a powerful

15 degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of small

areas. This nozzle should only be used on areas that

can withstand the high pressure from this nozzle.

25°nozzle - Green. This nozzle delivers a 25

degree spray pattern for intense cleaning of larger

areas. This nozzle should only be used on areas

that can withstand the pressure from this nozzle.

40° nozzle -White. This nozzle delivers a 40 degree

spray pattern and a less powerful stream of water. It

covers a wide area of cleaning. This nozzle should

be used for most general cleaning jobs.

Chemical nozzle - Black. This nozzle is used to

apply chemicals or cleaning solutions. It has the

least powerful stream.
