OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Start-up

Refer to the “Safety Precautions” pgs. 3-5 before start- ing the unit.

Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.

Never look directly into the nozzle. High pressure water creates a risk of severe injury.

1.With the gun locked in the “OFF” position, point the trigger gun away from yourself or anyone else. Ensure the water supply is completely turned on.

2.Disengage the safety lock-off on the gun and squeeze the trigger. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the nozzle.

3.Be certain the trigger gun remains in an open position while starting the engine. Brace yourself as the gun will kickback from the high pressure created by the pump once the engine has started.

4.Steady the unit during engine start-up. (Refer to the engine manual accompanying this pressure washer for the correct procedures needed to start the engine.)

5.Once the engine has started, perform the following procedures with the gun open:

Inspect for system oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is found, turn unit off immediately. See “Fire & Ventila- tion Precautions” pg. 4. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Graco Customer Service.

Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or leak is found, do not touch hose at leak. Turn unit off immediately. Replace hose before restarting the unit. See “Miscellaneous Safety Precautions” pg. 5. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Graco Customer Service.

6.Trigger the gun several times. Be certain to lock the trigger gun in the “OFF” position whenever changing the quick connect nozzles.

NOTICE

Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple rule can cause premature failure of pump packing seals, resulting in costly pump repair.

Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray and a variety of spray patterns, there are many cleaning jobs that can be done without the use of de- tergents. If a cleaning agent is required, see “Cleaning With Detergents” pg. 13 for the correct procedures.

NOTICE

Do not allow spray pattern to remain on a fixed area for an extended period of time. Possible damage may occur to the area.
