GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water through the pressure washer.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI.
Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the pump is recirculating water because the trigger of the spray gun is not pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode for more than two (2) minutes, the water temperature will rise to a dan- gerous level and can damage internal components of the pump.Any dam- age to pump due to these causes will not be covered under warranty.
DO NOT allow your unit to operate in
bypass mode for more than two minutes at any time. Overheating of pump can cause damage to pump.
Thermal Relief Valve:
In an effort to prevent damage, pumps are equipped with a ther- mal relief valve. This
valve will open when
the temperature inside the pump rises too high. This valve will then release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. Immediately after this occurs, the valve will close.
Chemical Injection: Feeds cleaning agents into the pump to mix with the pressurized water and help in clean- ing.
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.
HOW TO USE
IMPORTANT: Read and understand how to use the pressure washer before operating.
TO ADJUST PRESSURE
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. Reduce the speed of the gaso- line engine (RPM). Slow the engine down and the water pres- sure will go down with it.
3. Adjust the |

Once you have finished using your pressure washer, return the pressure regulator to its original position by turning it clockwise.
DO NOT try to turn pressure regulator knob past the
age to pump will result.
TO USE WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped with up to five spray nozzles. Each nozzle is color coded and delivers a specific spray pattern for a particular cleaning purpose. The size of the nozzle determines the size of the fan spray and the pressure out of the nozzle. The 0º, 15º , 25º, and 40º nozzles are high pressure nozzles. The chemical nozzle is a low pressure nozzle.
