KNOW YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 1.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual
as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempt-
ing. Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
CRANE LIFTING HOOK
The crane lifting hook in the center of the unit makes lifting
the machine for transportation and/or relocation easy.
DETERGENT METERING VALVE
This detergent metering valve allows the user to add more
or less detergent into the low pressure stream for the
correct amount of detergent for every project.
E-Z START VALVE
This feature allows easy start of the engine eliminating the
need to prime the spray wand (press the trigger).
FUEL TANK
This fuel tank has a maximum 3.5 gallon capacity.
FUEL VALVE LEVER
The fuel valve lever opens and closes to allow fuel to pass
between the fuel tank and the carburetor. The lever must
be open to start the engine and should always be closed
before storing the machine.
HONDA GX390 ENGINE
This industrial strength Honda engine enables the
pressure washer to achieve 3,750 PSI (pounds per square
inch) at a rate of 4.0 GPM (gallons per minute). Please
read the engine manual included with this product.
NOTE: This engine comes equipped with an Oil Alertâ„¢
system that automatically stops the engine when the oil
level drops below a safe limit. This system is designed
to prevent engine damage caused by not having enough
oil in the crankcase.
HOSE STORAGE BAG
A hose storage bag, located on the back of the machine,
provides easy storage and retrieval of hoses.
ON / OFF SWITCH
The on/off switch must be in the ON position (down) for
the engine to run. When the switch is in the OFF position
(up), the engine will stop running.
PRESSURE/FLOW ADJUSTMENT HANDLE
Use the pressure/flow adjustment handle to change the
pressure/flow levels of the cleaning stream for acceptable
pressure/flow for every project.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The pressure relief valve prevents unsafe pressure levels
from building up in the pressure washer. It is not uncom-
mon to notice occasional drips from the valve.
RECOIL STARTER
The recoil starter is pulled to start the machine.
SPARK ARRESTOR
This engine is not factory equipped with a spark arrestor.
In some areas it is illegal to operate an engine without a
spark arrestor. A spark arrestor is available from autho-
rized Honda servicing dealers. Please refer to the engine
manual included with this product for more information.
SPRAY WAND
The sp ray wand has a grooved gripping surface that
provides added control of the wand and helps reduce
fatigue.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
To prevent water temperature from reaching harmful
levels in the pump, the thermal relief valve will release
a small amount of water from a rubber hose. Once the
water has reached safe temperature levels, the thermal
relief valve will reset itself.
TRIGGER WITH LOCK OFF
Pulling the trigger releases a stream of water for high
pressure cleaning. The lock off provides protection against
unauthorized use or unintentional use.
WAND STORAGE HOLSTER
Store the spray wand and extension in the conve-
nient wand storage holster provided on the side of the
machine.
WATER INLET FILTER
This filter helps keep solid impurities in the water from
flowing through the machine.
