! WARNING

Operation (Continued)

sliding down and streaking. Wait a couple of minutes for the detergent to break down the dirt and grime. Use a brush to lightly scrub heavily soiled areas. Never allow the detergent to dry on the cleaning surface.

2a. To rinse or to return the nozzle to high pressure, release the trigger and slide the nozzle to the high pressure setting.

2b. For units with quick connect tips: replace black 65o tip with another color tip.

Never make the NOTICE nozzle pressure

adjustment when the gun is triggered. Adjusting the high-low nozzle when the gun is triggered can result in damage to the seals in the nozzle.

Never replace quick

! WARNING connect tip when gun is triggered.

3. After using detergents, flush the suction system by placing the detergent suction tube into a bucket of clean water.

5. Cleaning Power

You can control the cleaning power of your pressure washer in two ways:

1.Adjust the spray pattern at the noz- zle. Choose the widest pattern possi- ble for spraying when starting the job and adjust the pattern to a nar- rower angle until you find a suitable pattern.

2.The easiest way to regulate the cleaning power of your pressure washer is by changing the distance from the surface you are cleaning. Begin spraying with a wide fan pat- tern while standing several feet from the surface. Slowly move closer to the object you are cleaning, adjusting the spray pattern as necessary, until you find the most effective cleaning tech- nique.

NOTE: Some units also may have a regulator knob on the pump that can adjust the pressure (if so equipped).

6. Final Rinse

The final rinse should start at the bottom and work upward. Make sure that you thoroughly rinse the surface and that you remove all detergent.

7. Shutdown

1.Be sure all detergent is flushed from system.

2.Turn the engine OFF.

3 Turn the water supply OFF.

4.After the engine and water supply are turned off, trigger the gun to depres- surize the system.

NEVER turn the

NOTICE water supply off before turning the engine/motor off. Serious damage could occur to the pump and/or engine/motor.

NEVER disconnect ! CAUTION the high pressure

discharge hose from the machine while the system is pressurized. To depressurize, turn engine/motor off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3 times.

5.After each use, wipe all surfaces of the pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.

•Do not store the pressure washer out- doors.

•Do not store the pressure washer where it might freeze unless it has been properly winterized (See page 9, third column).

8. Storage

LONG TERM STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS (MORE THAN 30 DAYS IN STORAGE)

1.Remove fuel from the tank and run the pressure washer in a normal operating mode until the engine stops from a lack of fuel. Normal operating mode means actually spraying water from the gun while the engine is running.

Alternate method – Add fuel stabiliz- er to gas in the tank and run in nor- mal operating mode for at least five minutes.

2.Stop the engine, turn off the water supply, and trigger the gun to release pressure in the high-pressure hose.

PRESSURE RELIEF

PROCEDURE

To reduce the risk of bodily injury or property damage, always follow this procedure whenever spraying is stopped, when work is completed, and before checking or repairing any part of the system.

1.Engage the trigger safety latch.

2.Turn the unit off.

3.Remove the ignition cable from the spark plug.

4.Shut off the water supply.

5.Disengage the trigger safety latch and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

6.Re-engage the trigger safety latch.

7.Before overnight storage, long term storage, or transporting unit, disconnect the water supply and turn off the fuel supply valve.

3.Disconnect the water supply and high pressure hose from the pump.

4.Allow the engine to cool.

5.Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.

6.Pour 1/2 oz. of engine oil into the spark plug hole.

Never pull the starter rope on the

engine when the spark plug is removed unless the spark plug hole is covered. Fuel vapor from the hole can ignite by a spark.

7.Place a rag over the spark plug hole and slowly pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil.

WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Follow and complete the Long Term Storage Instructions on Page 9.

2.Disconnect the spark plug wire.

3.Disconnect the high pressure hose from the pump.

4.Insert a 12” to 14” piece of garden hose into the pump inlet.

5.Place a funnel in the other end of the garden hose.
