PRESSURE WASHER
TERMINOLOGY (cont'd)
Bypass Mode: Allows water to
Allowing the unit to run for more than
two minutes without the gun trigger pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump.
Chemical Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.
Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 5 gallons per minute.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these methods.
1.Back away from the surface to be cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
2.Rotate the nozzle at the end of the
DO NOT attempt to increase pump
pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.
3.Reduce the speed of the gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the engine down and the water pressure will go down with it.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT
When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes, or with
any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT
FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.
NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust con- tains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
NEVER pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to pump will result.
DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.
