STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figure 8.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the motor:
 Connect the garden hose.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Turn on the garden hose then pull the trigger to relieve air
pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream of water
appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the motor:
 With the on/off switch in the off position (O), connect the
pressure washer to the power supply.
NOTE: If using an extension cord, make sure to arrange
a drip loop as described on page 2.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections
dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
 Press the reset button on the pressure washer's plug to
make sure the unit is ready for operation.
 Put the on/off switch in the on position (I) to start the
motor.
OPERATION
To stop the motor:
 Put the on/off switch in the off position (O).
 Pull trigger to release water pressure.
NOTE: The pressure washer may be on and the system
may have pressure even when the pump and/or motor
cannot be heard running. Always use caution around the
pressure washer.
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 9.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due
to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of
control and injury to yourself and others.
 Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
 Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
 Push the lock out down and into its original position.
Start with the nozzle 1–2 ft. away from the cleaning surface
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can
damage the cleaning surface.
SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 10.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the
job. Refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more information
about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the motor,
disconnecting the power supply, relieving the water
pressure in the trigger handle, and locking the lock out
on the trigger handle. NEVER point the nozzle at your
face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains
small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in an eye
injury or other serious personal injury.
