OPERATION

SENSING LOW PRESSURE

If the system senses tow oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has stopped rotating, this light will go OFF. See Fig. 21 for schematic.

RESTARTING

		If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it
		shuts down, the engine may NOT start. The system needs
FULL		5 to 10 seconds to reset,
		if you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and
	RUN	have not corrected the low oil pressure, the engine
		runs for about 10 seconds as described above and then
		stops,

-Once engine has started, place Safety Latch in OFF position.

•Press trigger on gun and wand assembly. Water should spray out the nozzle.

•Adjust nozzle for correct pressure and spray angle. You can also turn the pressure control knob to your desired pressure setting.

•Your pressure washer is ready to use.

IMPORTANT: AN INTERNAL THERMAL RELIEF VALVE HAS A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SETTING 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 psi. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fue! tank has enough gasoline, check engine oil level.

TIAL STARTUP

delay built in the shutdown system allows oil pressure to _ldduring starting. The delay allows the engine to run for out 10 seconds before sensing oil pressure.

SIPHONING

We recommend that you DO NOT siphon your water sup- ply. Connect only 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.

oFor most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle be- tween 8 to 24 inches of cleaning surface.

•Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing.

•For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed

and work upward, using long, even overlapping strokes.

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

@Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or

wax.

oIf you get the spray nozzte 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.
