PRODUCT FEATURES AND PRECAUTIONS
NOTICE: Prior to using the pressure washer for the first time, it is IMPORTANT that it has been determined that there is an adequate water supply. The Pressure Washer needs TWICE the volume of the stated water output (1.7 GPM). This Pressure Washer will need 3.4 GPM to oper- ate correctly and efficiently. If the water is supplied by a well, make certain that the well produces enough water to keep up with the Pres- sure Washer’s water demand. FLOW RATE OF THE WATER SUPPLY MUST NEVER FALL BELOW 3 GPM. Flow rate can be determined by running the water at full pressure (valve com- pletely open) for one minute into an empty 5 gallon container, then measuring the amount of water in the container.
CAUTION! If the pump is run without an adequate water supply, the Pres- sure Washer will cavitate. Cavitation causes the pump to vibrate and operate loudly, and will damage the pump.
1.IMPORTANT! Prior to turning on the Pressure Washer connect the unit to the water supply. Turn on the water and squeeze the Trigger (23A) until water flows out of the Wash Gun. This removes air from the system and allows the unit to properly perform. Failure to follow this Step will damage the Pump.
2.The Pressure Washer features an automatic ON/OFF Micro Switch (27). The Motor (33) of the Pressure Washer does not run continuously, but only when the Trigger (23A) is squeezed. When spraying water through the unit stops, the Motor will automatically shut off.
3.The Pressure Washer features a
