WARNING
FUEL HAZARD
The fuel used in this equipment is flammable. When spilled on a hot surface it can ignite and cause a
fire. Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot.
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause an extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
DFluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medi-
cal attention.
DDo not point gun at anyone or any part of the body.
DDo not put hand or fingers over the spray tip, and do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand,
body, glove or rag.
DDo not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
DAlways have tip guard and trigger guard on gun when spraying.
DEngage trigger safety whenever you stop spraying.
DFollow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5 when you are instructed to relieve pressure;
stop spraying; check, clean, or service any system equipment; or install or change spray tips.
DTighten all fluid connections before each use.
DCheck the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Perma-
nently coupled hoses cannot be repaired.
DHandle and route hoses and tubes carefully. Keep hoses and tubes away from moving parts and
hot surfaces. Do not use the hoses to pull equipment. Do not expose ASM hoses to temperatures
above 150_F (65_C) or below –40_F (–40_C).
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the
skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
To help prevent injury or death from toxic fluids
DKnow specific hazards of fluid you are using; store hazardous fluid in approved tub; dispose of
hazardous fluid according to all local, state, and national guidelines.
DAlways wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and respirator as recommended by fluid and
solvent manufacturer.
FLUID SPLASHBACK HAZARD
To avoid splashback of fluid while spraying, make sure the spray gun is assembled with the correct
gasket for the fluid being sprayed.
EXHAUST HAZARD
The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide which is colorless and odorless. Do not operate
this equipment in a closed building.

Shipping Damage
Check the Zip Clean for shipping damage. Notify the carrier immediately if there is any damage.
Setup
Connect High–Pressure Hose and Gun
Connect the high–pressure hose between the pump outlet and gun
inlet. Both of these connections are made with quick couplers.
Install Spray Tip
Install the spray tip on the wand. Installing and Changing Spray Tips, page 10).
Up to 100 ft (30 m) of 3/8”high–pressure hose
may be used. Longer hoses could affect Zip
Clean and chemical injector performance
balance.
CAUTION
Connect to Water Supply
Connect hose with at least a 3/4–in (19 mm) ID from the water
supply to the 3/4–in garden hose inlet on the Zip Clean. The
supply hose should not be more than 50 ft (15 m) long.
CAUTION
Before you connect garden hose to Zip Clean. Check
your local plumbing code regarding
cross–connection to water supply. If required, install a
backflow preventer.
If inlet water pressure is over 60 psi (4.1 bar), a regu-
lating water valve must be installed at the garden
hose connection.
Do not exceed 160_F (70_C) inlet water temperature.
NOTE: The water source must have a minimum flow rate equal to that of Zip Clean.

Pressure Relief
Follow these instructions whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure,
stop spraying for more than 10 minutes, check or service the equipment,
or install or clean the spray nozzle.
1. Engage trigger safety latch.
2. Turn Zip Clean off and remove ignition cable from
spark plug.
3. Shut off water supply. Disconnect from water.
4. Remove trigger safety latch and trigger gun to
relieve pressure. Then engage the safety latch.
Note: If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved after
following this procedure, disengage trigger safety latch and trigger gun again.

1. Check engine oil level.
Startup
Always use this startup procedure to ensure the Zip Clean is started safely and properly.
DAlways engage gun trigger safety latch when you stop spraying. This reduces the risk of fluid
injection or splashing in eyes or on the skin if the gun is bumped or triggered accidentally.
DObserve all CAUTIONS in this section to avoid costly damage to Zip Clean.
.
Operation
NOTE: All Zip Clean powered with Honda engines are equipped with an engine low-oil sensor that shuts the
engine off if oil level falls below a certain level. If engine stops unexpectedly, check oil and fuel levels. Check oil
level each time you add fuel.
2. Check fuel level.

3. Check oil level in pump. It should be half way up the sight
glass. Add pump oil as necessary. The system is
equipped with a thermal overload to help prevent severe
damage.
NOTE: It is important to drain and refill the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation.

4. Turn on water supply.
5. Trigger the gun until a constant stream of water sprays from the tip
indicating the air is purged from the system.
6. Open fuel shutoff valve. Be sure the spark plug ignition
cable is pushed firmly onto the spark plug.
7. Put the switch in the ON position and the throttle at HALF
throttle.
Be sure water supply is completely turned on
before running Zip Clean. Running Zip Clean
without water will damage the pump.
CAUTION
Do not allow Zip Clean to idle for more than 10
minutes. This causes recirculating water to
overheat and serious damage to pump. Turn off Zip
Clean if it will not be spraying at least every 10
minutes. If heated water is used, reduce this time.
Do not operate Zip Clean with inlet water screen
removed. This screen helps keep abrasive
sediment out of pump, which could clog pump or
damage cylinders. Keep screen clean.
Do not pump caustic materials, such materials could
corrode pump components.
CAUTION

8. Pull starter rope quickly to start engine. Pull and
return rope until engine starts.
HINT: Placing one foot on Zip Clean as a brace
provides better leverage.
NOTE: For easier starting, have one person start Zip Clean while another triggers gun.
DIf engine is cold, start engine with choke completely closed. In cool weather, you might have to let engine
run with choke closed for first 10–30 seconds. In warm weather, open choke completely as soon as en-
gine starts.
DIf engine is warm, start engine with choke completely open or partially closed. When engine starts open
choke completely.

Trigger Safety Latch
Always engage safety latch when you stop spraying
even for a moment. The engaged, safety latch pre-
vents gun from being triggered accidentally by hand or
when dropped or bumped. Be sure the latch is pushed
fully down, or it will not prevent the gun from being
triggered.

1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 5.
Chemical Injector Operation
2. Insert chemical filter (attached with clear tubing to
chemical injector) into container of chemical. Insert
brass coupler into chemical injector.
3. Install the black, large–orifice, chemical tip. (Installing
and Changing Spray Tips, page 10).
NOTE: The large orifice of chemical tip causes a drop in
pressure that actuates chemical injector. Changing back to
a small orifice spray tip deactivates the chemical injector and
produces high pressure for rinsing. The chemical filter can
be left in the chemical container during high–pressure use.
To regulate flow rate of chemical, turn chemical adjustment
knob on the injector.

Spray tips have 4–or 5–digit numbers on them.
The first two digits are the spray angle. Tip
holding holes are provided on the chassis
including one extra hole for future tip placement.
1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure, page 5.
2. Point the gun and wand away from you and anyone else.
3. Without holding your hand over spray tip (A), pull back quick
coupler ring (B). Remove the current tip, install a different
one. Then push the ring back on.

operate Zip Clean without a tip securely mounted
in quick coupler.
