BASIC ELEMENTS OF AN ENGINE

Refer to the engine manual for location and operation of engine controls.

Choke Control: Opens and closes carburetor choke valve.

Starter Grip: Pulling starter grip operates recoil starter to crank engine.

Engine Switch: Enables and disables ignition system.

PRESSURE WASHER

TERMINOLOGY

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.

GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water.

CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI. GPM x PSI = CU

Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within pump when the gun trigger is not pulled.

Allowing the unit to run for more than

two minutes without the gun trigger pulled could cause overheating and damage to the pump.

Thermal Relief Valve: When the temperature inside the pump rises too high the valve will open

Thermal

and release a gush of Relief water in an effort to lower Valve the temperature inside

the pump. The valve will then close.

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.Change to the 40º nozzle - (white) this nozzle delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern.

3.Adjust the

SPRAY WAND NOZZLES

The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly. Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.

Risk of fluid injection. Do not

direct discharge stream toward persons, unprotected skin, eyes or any pets or animals. Serious injury will occur.
