OPERATION
STARTING AND STOPPING ThE PRESSURE
wAShER
See Figures 14 - 16.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water
supply connected and turned on, as this may dam-
age 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.
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 an engine that is cold or has run dry:
Close the fuel valve.
Fill the fuel tank (if necessary).
Connect the garden hose to the pump and turn on the
water supply.
Open the fuel valve.
Place the engine switch in the ON ( l ) position.
Push the choke lever to the closed position.
NOTE: If the engine is cold, close the choke fully. If the
engine is warm, open the choke lever half-way or keep it
opened fully.
Give the recoil starter short, brisk pulls to start the
engine.
If the engine fires, or begins to sputter and/or cough
without catching, move the choke lever to the half-way
position.
NOTE: Never pull the recoil starter more than four or five
times with the choke closed as this causes flooding.
With the choke in the half-way position, pull the recoil
starter again. The engine should now start.
NOTE: If the choke remains in the closed position, the
engine will continue to sputter and/or cough but will not
start.
Return the recoil starter gently to the engine housing. Do
not allow the rope to snap back.
As the engine warms up, move the choke lever slowly to
the opened position.
Let the engine warm up a few minutes before using.
To stop the engine using the engine switch:
Turn the engine switch to OFF ( O ) position.
Close the fuel valve.
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 17.
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:
Pull 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.
