• DO NOT use caustic liquid with pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. Followallmanufacturers’ instructions.
The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal injury hazard. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, orCAUTION) is
used with the alert symbol to designate a degree or level of hazardseriousness. A safety symbol may be used to represent the
type of hazard. The signal word NOTE is used to address practices not related to personalinjury.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if notavoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTE address practices not related topersonal injury.
WARNING The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the Stateof California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING This product contains lead and lead compounds, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or
other reproductiveharm. Wash your hands after handling thisproduct.
WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD
Engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT smell it, see it,or
taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxidegas. Some chemicals or
detergents could be harmfulif inhaled or ingested, resulting in death, serious injury, nausea, fainting orpoisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being drawn towards occupiedspaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
accordingto themanufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide
can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.
You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled when using chemicals.
Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will provide the necessary protection against
inhalingharmfulvapors whenusingchemicals.
WARNING Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) will pull hand andarm toward engine faster than you can let go which could
cause broken bones,fractures, bruises, or sprains resulting in serious injury.
• NEVERpull starter cord without first relieving spray gun pressure.
• When starting engine, pullcord 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, press red button and squeeze
spray gun trigger to release high pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.

ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY CONTINUED
LUBRICATE O-RINGS
LUBRICATING O-RINGS
Lubrication of o-rings is extremely important for installation and operation. The use of a lubricant (petroleum or synthetic grease)
during assembly helps seat o-rings properly and provides an improved seal. It also helps protect the o-ring from damage by
abrasion, pinching or cutting and extends the life of the o-ring.
NOTE: ALWAYS apply a small amount of lubricant on o-rings prior to assembling the garden hose to the pump inlet (A),
high pressure hose to pump outlet (B), high pressure hose (C), spray gun (D), and nozzle extension (E).
Lubricate all connections shown below (Fig. 5), following these instructions:
1. Inspect and clean connecting surfaces priorto lubrication andassembly.
2. Use lubricants sparingly during assembly; a light film is all that isrequired.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to applygrease directly to o-rings where they are not accessible (QC fitting, M22 fitting).
1. Verifyoil dipstick(A) hasbeen installedintopump. (See Fig. 1)
2. Place handle (B) onto handle supports (C) connected to main unit. Make
sure holes in handle align with holes on handlesupports. (See Fig. 2)
3. Insert handle carriage bolts (D) through holesfrom inside of unit and attach a
plastic knob (E) from outside of unit. Tighten byhand. (See Fig. 3 next page)
4. Add oil to enginecrankcase.
5. Add fuel to fuel tank.
6. Connect high pressure hose to spray gunand pump (See Lubricating O-
Rings Section).
7. Connect water supply to pump.
8. Attach nozzle extension to spray gun (See Lubricating O-Rings Section).
9. Select/attach quick connect spray tip tonozzle extension.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump
NOTE:Using a One Way Valve (vacuum breaker or check valve) at pump inlet could cause pump or inlet connector
damage.
NOTE: DO NOT siphon standing water for thewater supply. Use ONLY cold water (less than 100°F(38°C)).
• There MUST be at least 10 ft. (3 m) of unrestricted garden hose between the pressure washer inlet and any
device, such as a vacuum breaker or check valve.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction willvoid warranty.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces could cut through skin and its underlying tissues,
resulting in serious injury and possible amputation.
NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle extension.
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.
Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are correctly attached
Fig. 5
NOTE: DO NOT run the pump without thewater supply connected and turned on. Damage to
equipment resulting from failure to followthis instructionwill voidwarranty.
1. Uncoil high pressure hose and attach quick connect end of hose to base of spray gun. Pull
down on collar of quick connect, slide onto spray gun and let go of collar. Tug on hose to
be sure of tight connection.
2. Similarly, attach other end of high pressure hose to high pressure outlet (B) on pump (See
Fig. 5). Pull down on collar of quick connect, slide onto pump and let go of collar. Pull on
hose to be sure of tight connection.
3. Before connecting garden hose to water inlet, inspect inlet screen (A) (See Fig. 5). Clean
screen if itcontains debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if
inlet screen is damaged.
4. Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to clean out any debris.
5. Connect the garden hose (not to exceed 50 ft. (15 m) in length) to the water inlet. Tighten
by hand.
6. Turn ON the water, press red button (C) onthe gun and squeeze the trigger to purge the
pump systemofairandimpurities. (See Fig. 7)

OPERATION
CONTROLS
Automatic Cool Down System (Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for 3‑5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water in
the pump can reach temperatures above 125°-155°F (51°-68°C). The system engages to cool the pump by discharging the
warm water onto the ground.
A - Spray Gun —Controls the application of water onto cleaning
surface with trigger device.Includes trigger lock.
B - High Pressure Hose —Connect one end to water pump and
the other end to spraygun.
C - Spray Tips —Detergent, 0°, 15°, 25° and 40°: for various
high pressure cleaningapplications.
