Attention: Read through the complete
manual prior to the initial use of your
pressure washer.
NTOCTION
sing the Operators manual
The operating manual is an important part of your pressure washer. It should
be read thoroughly before initial use, and referred to often to make sure
adequate safety and service concerns are being addressed.
Reading the owners manual thoroughly will help avoid any personal inury or
damage to your machine. By knowing how best to operate this machine, you
will be better positioned to show others who may also operate the unit.
This manual was written to take you from the safety requirements to the
operating functions of your machine. ou can refer back to the manual at any
machine at all times.

mportant arnings
Failure to observe warnings will void warranty andor cause inury.
1. Do not let the pressure washer overheat. Ecess heat will cause severe dam-
age (see below for details).
2. Never run the unit without water. Running the pump dry will cause it to quickly
fail (NOT COVERED B WARRANT).
3. Do not let the unit freeze. Frozen water in the pump will cause serious damage.
4. Always wear eye protection when operating the unit.
5. High pressure spray can cause serious bodily inury of damage soft material.
Use with caution.
6. Never adust unloader to eceed the preset pressure. remature wear, equip-
ment failure, or inury may occur.

Motors are air cooled. It is important to ensure that machine is operated in a well-
ventilated area where it can draw a steady supply of fresh air. The arrows below show
an eample of locations for air intake on an engine.
Most pumps are protected by a thermal ale. The thermal valve releases water if a
pump starts to run too hot. It will prevent catastrophic heat failure. However, the pump
may have suffered damage and need maintenance, repair, or replacement. If it does
not reset and continues to leak water, the thermal valve may need to be replaced.

This product can epose you to chemicals
including lead, which is known to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
•Turn pressure cleaner OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing
fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
•Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors and in accordance with the LOCAL
GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES.
•DO NOT overfill tank. Always allow space for fuel epansion.
•If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
•eep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition

ANING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily inury.
ickback will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can
let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.
•
•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull
rapidly to avoid kickback.
•After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point spray gun
in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release pressure.
•Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to
avoid inury when spray gun kicks back.
ANIN
A running engine gives off carbon monoide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoide can cause headache, fatigue, dizzi-
ness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or death.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled or ingest-
ed, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
•Operate pressure cleaner ONL outdoors.
•

•DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if windows and
are open.
•Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled.
•Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will provide the neces-
sary protection against harmful vapors.

including overhead.
ANIN
Use of pressure cleaner can create puddles
and slippery surfaces.
ickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
•Operate pressure cleaner from a stable surface.
•The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to reduce the
pos-sibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.
•Be etremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder,
scaffolding, or any other similar location.
•Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to
avoid inury when spray gun kicks back.
ANIN
Risk of eye inury.
Spray can splash back or propel obects.
•Always wear safety goggles when using this equipment or in vicinity of
where equipment is in use.
•Before starting the pressure cleaner, be sure you are wearing adequate
safety goggles.
•NEVER substitute safety glasses for safety goggles.

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces
can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious
inury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped
and water is disconnected, which can cause inury.
•DO NOT allow children to operate the pressure cleaner.
•NEVER repair the high pressure hose. Replace it.
•NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any kind. Replace o-ring or seal.
•NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle etension.
•eep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pres-
surized.
•ALWAS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
high pressure every time you stop engine.
•NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals, or plants.
•DO NOT leave spray gun unattended while machine is running.
•NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or trigger guard in place
and in working order.
