STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 11 - 13.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer pump 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 engine:
 Connect all hoses.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 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 engine:
 Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
 Move the choke lever to the ON (COLD START) position.
NOTE: If the engine is warm, leave the choke lever in the
ON (COLD START) position. Allow the engine to run for 5
seconds, and then push the choke to the RUN position.
 Put the engine switch in the ON position.
 Pull the recoil starter grip until the engine runs (a maximum
of 6 times).
NOTE: Do not allow the grip to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
NOTICE:
If the engine does not start after each pull of the starter
grip and rope, squeeze the trigger to relieve water
pressure before attempting to start the engine again.
 Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke lever to the RUN position.
OPERATION
To stop the engine:
 Put the engine switch in the OFF position.
 Pull trigger to release water pressure.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of
clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and exhaust
gases could be hot enough to cause serious burns
and/or ignite combustible objects.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See Figure 14.
For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the trigger
handle at all times.
 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.
To use the spray wand, start with the nozzle 1-2 ft. away
from the cleaning surface. 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 15.
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 change nozzles without locking the lock out on
the trigger handle and NEVER point the wand at your
face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains
small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force.
Failure to heed this warning could cause personal injury.
