HOW TO SIPHON CHEMICALS AND CLEANING SOLVENTS

Siphoning chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation. NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use. Do not use bleach.

To siphon chemicals:

1.Press chemical hose onto barbed fitting located near high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.

2.Place other end of chemical hose with filter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning solution. NOTE: The chemical/water ratio is 7:1, for every 7 gallons of water pumped one gallon of chemical/cleaning solution will be used.

3.Install low pressure (black) nozzle into quick connect fitting of wand, see How To Use Wand paragraph in this section.

Barbed Fitting

4.After use of chemical, siphon clean water through chemical hose to rinse it and pump clean. Chemicals which remain in pump can damage it. Damage to pump due to chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: Chemicals and soap will not siphon when wand is in the high pressure setting.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin,

eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.

Your washer operates at fluid pressures 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!

Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

Never pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.

Never turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to pump will result.

DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions please call 1-888-559-8550 to speak to a service representative for further instructions.
