OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figure 12.
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 all hoses.
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 start button in the OFF position, 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.
 Push the start button to the ON position to start the motor.
NOTE: The light should be off until the start button is
pressed in the ON position. The light will stay illuminated
until the start button is pressed again to turn the unit off.
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
motor during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or motor seals, stop using the pres-
sure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may
cause property damage.
