OPERATINGTIPS

BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR MACHINE

1.Before beginning work, set aside enough time to familiarize yourself with this machine’s cleaning rate and capacity along with all instructions and precautions contained in this section, along with the Operating Instruction and Operating Controls sections.

2.This unit is intended for various light to moderate cleaning applications. If deeper cleaning is desired, it can be attained at times, however this is done at the expense of speed. This unit is not intended for paint stripping or deep concrete cleaning applications.

3.Clean a test area to satisfaction before proceeding with the entire area, as stated in Cleaning Recommendations on the next page. Use this area to approximate the amount of time required for the project. Be certain to factor in time for touch-ups and cleanup after the general cleaning is finished.

4.This unit has several settings and adjustments that effect the speed of cleaning and the water force applied to cleaning. Good guidelines to keep in mind are:

WIDE STREAM =

QUICKER COVERAGE BUT

LIGHTER CLEANING.

NARROW STREAM =

DEEPER CLEANING BUT SLOWER COVERAGE.

USE PROPER PRESSURE WASHER OPERATION TECHNIQUES

The machine may suddenly stop and require a rest period from time to time; this is normal and does not indicate a problem (see Troubleshooting, page 22). However, certain use techniques may help reduce or even prevent the need for such rest periods, increasing efficiency:

a.SHUT OFF THE MACHINE IF THE UNIT IS TO SIT IDLE FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES. Heat will build up within the unit as it draws current while recirculating the water. If left for long enough, it will overload the circuit it is powered by and trip the circuit breaker.

b.Do not release the trigger between sweeps. Release the trigger as few times as possible during use. Interrupted or sporadic spraying will cause the unit to heat up quickly and will increase the need for rest periods.

c.Make sure that all obstacles have been moved and the entire area is ready before starting.

d.For small jobs, try to finish an entire portion of the job before taking a break.
