mended for high-pressure washers. Follow

manufacturers recommendations. Do not use

chlorine bleach or any other corrosive com-

pound.

••

RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

Your pressure washer operates at ﬂuid pres-

sures and velocities high enough to penetrate

human and animal ﬂesh, which could result

in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks

caused by loose ﬁttings or worn or damaged

hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT

TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE

CUT! See a physician immediately.

Inspect the high-pressure hose regularly. Re-

place the hose immediately if it is damaged,

worn, has melted from contacting the engine,

or shows any signs of cracks, bubbles, pin-

holes, or other leakage. Never grasp a high-

pressure hose that is leaking or damaged.

Never touch, grasp, or attempt to cover a

pinhole or similar water leak on the high pres-

sure hose. The stream of water IS under high

pressure and WILL penetrate skin.

Never place hands in front of nozzle.

Direct spray away from self and others.

Make sure hose and ﬁttings are tightened and

in good condition. Never hold onto the hose or

ﬁttings during operation.

Do not allow the high pressure hose to contact

the mufﬂer.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF A PRESSURE WASHER

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

Engine: Drives the high pressure pump. Refer to the engine manual for location and operation of

engine controls

High Pressure Hose: Carries the pressurized water from the pump to the gun and spray wand.

Spray Gun: Connects the spray wand to control water ﬂow rate, direction, and pressure.

Quick Connect Spray Wand: Allows the user to quickly change the spray pattern. See next sections

for more details on your speciﬁc Spray Wand included with your machine.

Chemical Hose: Feeds cleaning agents into the pump to mix with the water. See How to Apply

Chemicals / Cleaning Solvents instructions.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF AN ENGINE

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

Choke Control: Opens and closes carburetor choke valve.

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

Engine Switch: Enables and disables ignition system.

PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure,

hydraulic pressure, etc. Sometimes noted as “Bar”, another unit of measure.

GPM: Gallons per Minute. The unit of measure for the ﬂow rate of water. Sometimes noted as L/min

(Liters per Minute).

CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI equals CU.

Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within the pump when the gun trigger is not pulled. This

feature allows the operator to release the trigger gun and reposition themselves without having to turn

the engine off in between cleaning actions.

Allowing the unit to run for more than two minutes without the gun trigger being pulled

could cause overheating and damage to the pump. Do not let the pressure washer run for more than

two minutes in Bypass Mode. Turn off the engine and relieve the pressure in the gun during these

extended situations.

Thermal Relief Valve (not shown): When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, this valve

will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve

will then close.

Chemical Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve clean-

ing effectiveness. Depending on your machine, this could either be a Detergent Siphon Tube (which

is inserted into a container of detergent), or a Detergent Tank (which is ﬁlled with detergent and is an

integral part of the pressure washer frame).

Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum requirements for a

water supply are 20 PSI and 5 Gallons Per Minute.

PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES - SPRAY WAND

Spray Wand: There are two types of spray wands that can be included with your pressure washer.

Check Carton Contents section of this manual to see which Wand your pressure washer uses.

1) Variable Spray Wand. This wand includes both high and low pressure settings. The high pres-

sure setting is for cleaning and rinsing, and the low pressure setting is for applying chemicals or

cleaning solutions to surfaces.

For high pressure opera-

tion, pull back the nozzle

of the multi-adjustable

spray wand as shown.

For low pressure opera-

tion and detergent appli-

cation, extend the nozzle

of the variable spray

wand as shown.

The nozzle at the end of the variable

spray wand can be rotated to change

from the high pressure spray pattern

from a 0º pencil stream to a 40º fan

spray, as shown. Markings have been

placed on the nozzle to help you select

the spray pattern.

Risk of ﬂuid injection. Do not direct discharge stream toward persons, unpro-

tected skin, eyes, or any pets or animals. Serious injury will occur.
