START-UP AND OPERATION INTRODUCTION
1.Verify that the RED vented plug is installed in pressure washer pump as shown in Fig 1.
2.Before first use, check engine and pump oil levels.
Note: For shipping purposes, engine oil has not been added. Before each use, check engine oil level by unscrewing the oil dipstick. Add motor oil (consult Honda manual for correct oil grade) as required to bring to proper level, approximately
3.Check water supply volume. To operate correctly, the unit requires a water supply 25% greater than the units output.
( i.e. Model 3000 = 5 GPM, 2700 = 3 GPM,
2500 = 4.5 GPM, 2000 = 3.75 GPM of water flow ).
To test water supply output;
a)Turn water flow to full maximum output.
b)Place a 5 gallon pail or container under water flow for exactly 1 minute
| ( 60 seconds). |
