Initial Start-Up Procedures - Powerwerx POWERPLAY HOTROD 2500 Mode D'emploi

ASSEMBLY & START-UP PROCEDURES
Initial Start-Up
1. Put on the recommended safety equipment.
2. Place your pressure washer outside and fill with fuel and engine oil. Remember to use
fuel stabilizer if you do not plan on using your fuel completely within the next 30 days. It is
recommended by POWERWERX™ to use fuel stabilizer in every tank of fuel used.
3. Verify that the position of the exhaust will not cause any safety hazards and allow for enough
space to pull the recoil avoiding risk of injury.
4. Attach the garden hose connection to the pump inlet. Ensure your hose is laid out properly to
prevent any accidents, such as tripping. Turn on the water supply. Squeeze the trigger of the
gun in order to prevent cavitation by purging any air, until you achieve a steady flow of water.
Without a steady flow of water prior to starting the engine pump damage may occur which will
not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
5. Review your engine Owner's Manual to familiarize yourself with the engine controls.
6. Set the engine stop switch to "run /on" or adjust the throttle to the position outlined in the
engine Owner's Manual.
7. Set the choke as required. Cold conditions will most likely require full choke. Restarts or warm
conditions will only require 1/2 choke or no choke. (Certain engines come with automatic
choke).
8. Pull the recoil gently until you feel compression, then pull the recoil in one brisk motion to start.
9. Allow the engine to warm up and adjust the choke accordingly until it is not required to keep
the engine running anymore. If your engine will not run properly with the choke completely off,
it may be low on fuel or it may need servicing. Please contact your nearest POWERWERX™
service dealer immediately to prevent damage to the engine.
10. Point the gun at the object you intend to clean. Pull the trigger and wash the area you require.
If the engine stops, go back to and repeat steps 5 through 9 and allow the unit to warm up
longer. Newer engines take a little longer to warm up due to emission control devices and
break-in periods.
