Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in beginning of Maintenance section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See Clean Debris.

Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.

After Each Use

Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time. Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:

1.Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.

WARNING

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.

•Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.

•ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.

2.Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, spray gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.

3.Place the spray gun, nozzle extension, ProjectPro® nozzles and high pressure hose in the accessory tray.

4.Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil handle about six times. This should remove most liquid in pump.

5.Store unit in a clean, dry area.

6.If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term Storage on next page.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
