light comes ON

However,

once the engine has stopped

rotating, this light will go OFF, See Fig, 22 for schematic,

,,Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until you feel resistance_ Then pull rapidly one time.

oWhen engine starts, move choke lever to "RUN" posi- tion. If engine fails to start, move choke lever to "RUN" position and pull starter rope (maximum 2 pulls)_

o If engine fails to start, repeat the previous two steps.

oOnce engine has started, place the Safety Latch on spray gun to the OFF position.

,,Press trigger on gun andwand assembly_Water should spray out the nozzle.

oAdjust nozzle for correct pressure, spray angle. You can also rum the pressure control knob to the desired pressure setting.

o Your pressure washer is ready to use.

IMPORTANT: AN INTERNAL THERMAL RELIEF VALVE HAS A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SEFrING OF 140°F

(60°C). IF YOU RUN THE PUMP FOR 5 MINUTES WITH-

OUT PRESSING THE TRIGGER ON THE SPRAY GUN, 1/2 TO 1 OUNCE OF WATER IS RELEASED THROUGH THE VALVE TO COOL THE UNIT. THE SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WILL DRIP OUT THE BOTTOM OF PUMP_

LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that

shuts down the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below 6 psL If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check engine oil level

INITIAL START'UP

A delay built in the shutdown system allows oil pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil pressure.

FIG. 22

RESTARTING

If you try to restart the engine within 5 seconds after it shuts down, the engine may NOT startr The system needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.

If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and

have not corrected the low oil pressure, the engine runs for about 10 seconds as described above and then

stops.

SIPHONING

We recommend that you DO NOT siphon your water supply from sources other than from connecting to household water supply.

TIPS

,,Initially clean an area and then check the surface for damage, If no damage is found, you can assume it is okay to continue cleaning Detergents work best when applied to dry surface,

=For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle be- tween 8 to 24 inches of cleaning surface°

oAllow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes before washing and dnsing

oFor cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed

and work upward, using long, even overlapping strokes.

-For rinsing, push nozzle sleeve to high pressure and wait for detergent to clean Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same action as for cleaning.

oNever use garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or wax.

oIf you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using

high pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning surface.

oIf you have the spray nozzle too far away, the cleaning will not be as effective_

oDo not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning automo- bile tires.
