Location
IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equipment will assure more satisfactory performance, longer service life, and lower maintenance cost.
IMPORTANT: The use of a back flow preventer (Part #222815 call
Place the pressure washer on a solid level surface in a protected area where it is not readily influenced by outside forces such as strong winds, freezing temperatures, rain, etc. Locate the pressure washer for easy access for filling fluids, adjustments, controls, and maintenance. Position the machine so that ambient lighting is sufficient for the surface you are cleaning to be seen with ease. Use artificial light if needed.
Make a partition between the wash area and the pressure washer to prevent direct nozzle spray from coming in contact with the pressure washer. Moisture reaching the equipment will reduce the pressure washer’s service life.
Attaching a Water Feed Tank (157594 only)
Caution: Make sure to follow these instructions. Inadequate plumbing between a feed tank and the pressure washer can cause damage to the pump from cavitation.
Cavitation will not occur if you select large fittings and hose to connect the feed tank to the pressure washer. Also, place the pressure washer right next to the feed tank so the connection hose will be as short as possible.

1.) Use ¾” connection hose no longer than 6ft long.
2.) Make sure the connection hose does not kink.
3.) Make sure all fittings are ¾” or larger.
4.) Do not use 90 elbow fittings unless absolutely necessary.
5.) Make sure bottom of the tank is level or higher than the bottom of the skid frame.
6.) Do not pump flammable liquids or liquids containing incompatible chemicals or solvents.
7.) Reroute the easy start valve so it discharges back to the feed tank. This will aid pump priming on initial start up. The easy start valve is located below the unloader. See Machine Component Identification for location of unloader.
