FLUSHING THE SYSTEM:

This unit has a steel coil which, after setting, will cause the water remaining in
the coil from the previous usage to turn brown or black. This water must be
flushed from the system before start-up. This procedure should be performed
without the high pressure hose, gun and dual lance assembly installed.
DIRECT FEED MODELS:
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the water outlet. This allows
the unit to flush any particles from the system. The unit is flushed when
the water is clear.
3. Once the system is flushed, turn off the water supply and connect the high
pressure hose to the water outlet of the unit.
4. Connect the trigger gun and dual lance assembly to the high
pressure hose.
5. Turn on the water supply.
FLOAT TANK MODELS:
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Move the switch to the "Pump" position. Low pressure water will begin
flowing from the water outlet. This allows the unit to flush any particles from
the system. The unit is flushed when the water is clear.
3. Once the system is flushed, move the switch to the "OFF" position and
connect the high pressure hose to the water outlet of the unit.
4. Connect the trigger gun and dual lance assembly to the high
pressure hose.

START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION:

1. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Ensure that the switch is in the "OFF" position.
4. Pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and
squeeze the trigger. Brace yourself for possible gun kickback when the
pump starts.

5. Move the switch to the "Pump" position.
6. Once the unit has started, perform the following procedures with the gun
open:
a. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is
found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY!
Fire", pg. 5. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the
mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you
require service, contact Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or
leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF
IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose before starting the unit. See "Risk of
Injection or Severe Cutting Injury" pg. 6. Be sure that all damaged
parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected
prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Customer
Service.
7. At this point, the unit is operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger
the gun several times and try adjusting the water pressure by rotating the
grip on the dual lance. NEVER place hand or fingers in front of the nozzle
or look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe
injury!
8. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple
rule can cause premature failure of pump packings.
NOTE: If this unit is equipped with an Auto Start/Stop feature, the pressure
washer will shutdown if the gun is not triggered after a designated amount
of time. The pressure washer will start again once the gun is triggered. The
Auto Start/Stop feature is preset at the factory for shutdown at 90 seconds.
It can be adjusted by an Authorized Service Technician to shutdown from no
usage after a minimum of 3 seconds to a maximum of 5 minutes.
9. Your pressure washer can deliver high pressure spray and a variety of spray
patterns using cold water. If you wish to use the Hot Water, Steam application
or Cleaning with Detergents, see page 19 for the correct procedures.
