To Start Your Pressure Washer

To start your engine-powered pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions step-by-step. This starting information also applies whenever you start the engine after you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.

1.Place pressure washer near an outside water source capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than 3.0 gallons per minute and no less than 20 PSI at pressure washer end of garden hose.

2.Check that high pressure hose is tightly connected

to spray gun and pump. See "Assembling Your Pressure Washer _ for illustrations.

. Make sure unit is in a level position.

4.Connect garden hose to water inlet on pressure washer pump. Turn ON water.
