HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

-Turn on the water.

IMPORTANT: Do not run pump without the water sup- ply connected and turned on. You must follow this cau- tion or the pump wilt be damaged.

Move the Throttle Control Lever to the 'Fast' position

®Push primer bulb 3 times. Wait about two 2 seconds between each push. In cold weather, (55°F/13°C or

below) push 5 times.

Note: Do not use primer to restart a warm engine after a short shut down.

Positionthe nozzle in the low pressure mode (nozzle slid forward) and squeeze the triggeron the spray gun to relieve the air pressure caused by turning ON the water. Water will spew out the gun in a thin stream. Continue to hold trigger until you have a steady stream of water and no air remains in the sys- tem. This will make it easier to pull start the engine. Release the trigger.

=Engage the safety latch on the gun.

-Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until you feet some resistance. Then pull cord rapidlyto overcome com- pression, prevent kickback and start the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly ................

Note: Always keep the Throttle Control Lever in the 'Fast'position when operating the pressure washer.

Note: if after 3 pulls the engine fails to start, prime the engine again, purge the gun and pull the recoil starter handle rapidly (Max. 3 pulls).

HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

- Move the Throttle Control Lever to the 'Slow'posi- tion.

Wait for the engine to idle down.

. Move the Throttle Control Lever to the 'Stop'position,

Simply shutting off the engine will not release pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.

Note: A small amount of water wilt squirt out from the spray gun when you release the pressure.

SIPHONING

We recommend that you DO NOT siphon standing water for your water supply. Contaminated, brackish or dirty water can damage the pump. Connect only to household water supply.

TIPS

,Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon detergent or wax .......

If you have the spray nozzle too far away, the clean- ing will not be as effective.
