PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used
for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.
GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI equals CU.
Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within the pump when the gun trigger is
not pulled. This feature allows the operator to release the trigger gun and reposition
themselves without having to turn the engine off in between cleaning actions.
WARNING: Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without
the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to
the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal
relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the
internal temperature. The valve will then close.
Thermal Relief Valve (Q, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the
pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of
water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The
valve will then close.
Detergent Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents
with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.
Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water.
The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 5 Gallons Per Minute.
If your water source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 30 ft. (9 m) max.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect
against backflow when connected to a potable water system.
PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum pres sure and
cleaning. If you need to lower the pres sure, it can be accomplished by these
methods.
Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The further away you are, the
1.
less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
2.
Use the Dial-N-Wash to increase and decrease the pressure. Refer to the
Dial-N-Wash Adjustment paragraph.
3.
This pressure washer's high pressure pump is equipped with an adjustable
unloader feature that allows the pressure setting to be adjusted.
To lower the pressure, turn the pressure control knob on the pump counter-
clockwise to the desired pressure.
To return the pump pressure to the factory setting, turn the pressure control
knob on the pump clockwise until it stops.
