OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRIMING THE PUMP:

. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water
supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.
2. Lay the high pressure hose out to remove any loops. Water flow will constrict
the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.
NOTE: The nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly
at this time. see "Nozzle Connection" pg. 13.
3. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, turn the water supply
completely on. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun
and squeeze the trigger.
4. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly. This
allows the unit to prime and purge any air from the system. The unit is
primed when water flow is uninterrupted by air.
5. Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the "OFF"
position. Securely connect the nozzle assembly. (See "Nozzle Connection"
pg. .)

START-UP:

. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Perform the following engine start-up procedures.
a. Point the trigger gun in a safe direction, disengage the safety lock on
the gun and squeeze the trigger.
b. Brace yourself for kickback from the high pressure created by the pump
once the engine has started.
c. Hold the trigger gun open while starting the engine according to the
manufacturer's instructions in the engine manual accompanying this
unit.
4. Once the engine has started, perform the following procedures with the gun
open:
a. Inspect for system oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is found, TURN
UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See "Risk of Explosion or Fire, pg. 4. Be sure
that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems
are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact
Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or
leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF
IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose before restarting the unit. See "Risk of
Injection", pg. 5. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that
the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If
you require service, contact Customer Service.
5. Trigger the gun several times. be certain to LOCK the trigger gun in the
"OFF" position whenever changing the quick connect nozzles. NEVER
place hands or fingers in front of the nozzle or look directly into the nozzle!
High pressure water creates a risk of severe injury!
6. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple
rule can cause premature failure of pump packings, resulting in costly pump
repair.
7. Your pressure washer can deliver high pressure spray and a variety of spray
patterns using cold water. If you wish to clean with detergents, see page
7 for the correct procedures.
