Check for properly tightened hose connections (high pressure and water supply) and that there are no kinks, cuts, or damage to the high pressure hose.

Provide a proper water supply at an adequate flow.

Be sure to read "Safety Rules" and "How To Use Your Pressure Washer" before using the pressure washer.

HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

If you have any problems operating your pressure washer, please contact the local Snapper service center.

How to Start Your Pressure Washer

To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions step-by-step.This starting information also applies if you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day.

Place the pressure washer in an area close enough to an outside water source capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than 2.8 gallons per minute.

Check that the high pressure hose is tightly connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See “Preparing Pressure Washer for Use” for illustrations.

Make sure unit is in a level position.

Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer pump. Turn ON the water.

CAUTION! Do Not run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on.You must follow this caution or the pump will be damaged.

Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun until you have a steady stream of water.This purges the pump of air and impurities.

Position the nozzle in the low pressure mode (see “How to Use the Adjustable Nozzle”) and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to relieve the air pressure caused by turning ON the water.Water will flow out of the spray gun in a thin stream. Continue to hold trigger until there is a steady stream of water and no air remains in the system.This will make it easier to pull start the engine. Release the trigger.

Engage the safety latch to the spray gun trigger (Figure 7).
