How to Start Your Pressure Washer

To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions step-by-step.This starting information also applies if 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.

Pressure Washer Location DANGER

Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death.

Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.

Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

DO NOT operate pressure washer inside any building or enclosure.

The pressure washer must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm) from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around pressure washer including overhead, for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.

Place pressure washer in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place pressure washer where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 7). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning pressure washer.
