IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not operate this unit until you have read and understand this

Operators Manual and the Engine Owners Manual for Safety,

Operation, and Maintenance Instructions.

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Spilled gasoline and it’s vapors can

become ignited from cigarette sparks,

electrical arcing, exhaust gases, and hot

engine components such as the mufﬂer.

• Shut off engine and allow it to cool before

adding fuel to the tank.

• Use care in ﬁlling tank to avoid spilling fuel.

Move pressure washer away from fueling

area before starting engine.

• Heat will expand fuel in the tank which

could result in spillage and possible ﬁre

explosion.

• Keep maximum fuel level ½" below top of

tank to allow for expansion.

• Operating the pressure washer in an ex-

plosive environment could result in a ﬁre. • Operate and fuel equipment in well venti-

lated areas free from obstructions. Equip

areas with ﬁre extinguisher suitable for

gasoline ﬁres.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product may not be equipped with a spark arresting mufﬂer.

If the product is not equipped and will be used around ﬂammable

materials, or on land covered with materials such as agricultural crops, forest, brush,

grass, or other similar items, then an approved spark arrester must be installed and

is legally required in the state of California. It is a violation of California statutes

section 130050 and/or sections 4442 and 4443 of the California Public Resources

Code, unless the engine is equipped with a spark arrester, as deﬁned in section 4442,

and maintained in effective working order. Spark arresters are also required on some

U.S. Forest Service land and may also be legally required under other statutes and

ordinances.

Engine exhaust contains chemicals known, in certain quantities, to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

RISK TO BREATHING

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE (continued)

HAZARD

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Your washer operates at ﬂuid pressures

and velocities high enough to penetrate

human and animal ﬂesh, which could

result in amputation or other serious injury.

Leaks caused by loose ﬁttings or worn

or damaged hoses can result in injection

injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION

AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician

immediately!

• Never place hands in front of nozzle.

• Direct spray away from self and others.

• Make sure hose and ﬁttings are tightened

and in good condition. Never hold onto the

hose or ﬁttings during operation.

• Do not allow hose to contact mufﬂer.

• Never attach or remove wand or hose

ﬁttings while system is pressurized.

RISK TO FLUID INJECTION

HAZARD

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Injuries can result if system pressure is not

reduced before attempting maintenance or

disassembly.

• To relieve system pressure, shut off

engine, turn off water supply, and pull gun

trigger until water stops ﬂowing.

• Use only hoses and accessories rated

for pressure higher than your pressure

washer's PSI.

HAZARD

4- ENG

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high

pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes,

or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.

Your washer operates at ﬂuid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate

human and animal ﬂesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury.

Leaks caused by loose ﬁttings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection

injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician

immediately!

NEVER ﬁll fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not

smoke when ﬁlling fuel tank.

NEVER ﬁll fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of ﬁller neck

to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and

equipment before starting engine.

NEVER run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust

contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine mufﬂer during or

immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with

hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

NEVER pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This

could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.

NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to

pump will result.

DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates

in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass

mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be

damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions, please call 1-800-888-2468 to

speak to a service representative for further instructions.

PRESSURE WASHER

OPERATING FEATURES

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS

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. Change to the 40º nozzle -

(white) this nozzle delivers a less

powerful stream of water and a

wider spray pattern.

DO NOT attempt

to increase pump

pressure. A higher pressure setting

than the factory set pressure may

damage pump.

CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by

PSI. GPM x PSI = CU

Bypass Mode: Allows water to

re-circulate within pump when the gun

trigger is not pulled.

Allowing the unit to

run for more than

two minutes without the gun trigger

pulled could cause overheating and

damage to the pump.

Chemical Injection System: Mixes

cleaners or cleaning solvents with

the water to improve cleaning

effectiveness.

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.

10- ENG

A12496

Risk of Flying

Object could cause

risk of serious injury. Ensure nozzle

is completely inserted in QC socket,

and QC snap ring is fully engaged

(forward) before squeezing gun

trigger.

Risk of injection or

injury to person.

Do not direct discharge stream

toward persons, unprotected

skin, eyes, or any pets or animals.

Serious injury can occur.

The high pressure spray from your pressure washer is

capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood,

glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as

ﬂowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure

yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray.

TO USE SPRAY WAND

The nozzles for the spray wand are

stored in nozzle holder on the panel

assembly. Colors on the panel identify

nozzle location and spray pattern. See

chart to choose the correct nozzle for

the job to be performed.

CHANGING NOZZLES ON SPRAY

WAND

Risk of Flying

Object could

cause risk of serious injury. DO

NOT attempt to change nozzles

while pressure washer is running.

Turn engine off before changing

nozzles.

1. Pull quick connect coupler back

and insert nozzle.

2. Release quick connect coupler

and twist nozzle to make sure it

is secure in coupler.
