Operation
1. Surface Preparation
The following cleaning procedure will help you organize your cleaning task and ensures that you will achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.. Remember to use the spraying / cleaning techniques mentioned in the following section..
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning job, prepare the surface you intend to clean.. Clear furniture from the area and make sure that all windows and doors are closed tightly.. Also, protect all plants and trees near the cleaning area with a drop cloth.. A covering ensures that your plants won’t be sprayed by the detergents..
2. Start Up
ALWAYS use the following start up procedure to ensure that the unit is started safely and properly..
If water has frozen in the
pressure washer, thaw the pressure washer in a warm room before starting. DO NOT pour hot water on or into the pump; internal parts will be damaged.
1..Check engine oil levels.. Add oil as necessary..
2..Check fuel level.. Add unleaded gasoline (rated 86 octane or higher) as required..
do NOT refuel a hot engine.
Refueling a hot engine could cause a fire. Use only fresh, clean regular or unleaded gasoline. Close the fuel shutoff valve during refueling.
3..Attach a garden hose to the inlet side of the pump and connect it to the water supply. Use a hose with an internal diameter (I..D..) of 5/8 in.. (1..58 cm) and a length of 50 ft.. (15 m) or less..
some local plumbing codes
require backflow prevention when connecting to a fresh water supply. Install a backflow preventer upstream from the pump if necessary.
a..If inlet water pressure is over 100 psi, install a regulating water valve at the garden hose connection..
b.Do not exceed 100˚ F (38˚ C) inlet water temperature..
NOTE: The inlet water supply must have a minimum flow rate of 5 gpm (19 lpm)..
4.. Turn the water supply ON..
never run the unit dry. Be sure
the water supply is completely turned on before operating the unit.
5..Trigger the gun until water sprays from the tip indicating that all air is purged from the system.. Set the trigger safety latch..
6.Open the fuel shutoff valve by turning the lever to the right/“ON” position.. Close the choke (if the engine is cold) by moving the choke lever fully to the left.. Move the throttle fully to the left to the “Run” or “Rabbit” position.. Turn the ON/ OFF swirch to the “ON” position..

7.Start the engine: Unlock the trigger safety latch on the gun.. Grasp the starter rope and brace one foot on the chassis.. While squeezing the trigger on the gun, pull the starter rope rapidly and firmly.. Continue holding the rope as it returns.. Repeat these steps until the engine starts..
when pulling the starter rope, make
sure to keep your hand and arm clear of the engine and cart components.
