STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER
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:
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch
plug with wet hands.
With the on/off switch 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 14.
Put the on/off switch in the ON position to start the motor.
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 pressure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may cause property damage.
To stop the motor:
Put the on/off switch in the OFF position.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
NOTE: The pressure washer may be on and the system may have pressure even when the pump and/or
motor cannot be heard running. Always use caution around the pressure washer.
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect the trigger handle to move when
the trigger is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of control and
injury to yourself and others.
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. Start with the
nozzle 1–2 ft. away from the cleaning surface and 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.
