DeWalt N000589 instruction manual Start-up Procedure, Refer to Chemicals and Cleaning Solvents

English

WARNING: Risk of fire, asphyxiation and burning. 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" (12.7 mm) 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 con­tains 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.

CAUTION: 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 U mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high the thermal relief valve (U) will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower

the temperature inside the pump. The thermal

relief valve will then close. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.

Start-up Procedure

1.In a well-ventilated outdoor area, add fresh, high-quality, unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine. Refer to engine instruction manual for correct procedure.

2.Check engine oil level. Refer to the engine instruction manual for correct procedure.

3.Connect the water hose to the water source. Turn the water source on to remove all air from the hose. When a steady stream of water is present, turn the water source off.

4.Verify the filter screen (V) is in water inlet of

	pump. The cone side faces out.
5.	Connect the cold water source (X) to pump
	inlet.
	NOTE: Water source must provide a minimum
	of 5 gallons per minute at 20 pSI (138 kPa).	V
Warning: To reduce the possibility of con-
tamination always protect against backflow when
connected to a potable water system.
6.	Connect high-pressure hose (P) to pump
	outlet.
7.	If applying a chemical or cleaning solution, P
	refer to Chemicals and Cleaning
	Solvents.
8.	Turn the water source on.
Caution: Risk of property damage. Failure		X
to do so could cause damage to the pump.

9.Remove all air from the pump and high pressure hose by depress- ing trigger until a steady stream of water is present.

10.Start engine. Refer to the engine instruction manual for correct procedure.

Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. If engine does not start after two pulls, squeeze trigger of gun to relieve pump pressure. Pull starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
