OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRESSURE WASHER
TERMINOLOGY
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of
measure for water pressure. Also used
for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.
GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of
measure for the flow rate of water.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by
PSI. GPM x PSI = CU

10- ENG
Bypass Mode: Allows water to
re-circulate within pump when the gun
trigger is not pulled.
NOTICE: Allowing the unit to run for
more than two minutes without the
gun trigger pulled could cause over-
heating and damage to the pump.
Thermal Relief Valve:
When the temperature
inside the pump rises
too high the valve will
open and release a
gush of water in an
effort to lower the tem-
perature inside the pump. The valve will
then close.
Chemical Injection System: Mixes
cleaners or cleaning solvents with the
water to improve cleaning effectiveness.
Water Supply: All pressure washers must
have a source of water. The minimum
requirements for a water supply are 20 psi
and 5 gallons per minute.

OPERATING FEATURES
Pressure Adjustments
The pressure setting is preset at the fac-
tory to achieve optimum pressure and
cleaning. If you need to lower the pres-
sure, it can be accomplished by these
methods.
1. Back away from the surface to be
cleaned. The further away you are,
the less the pressure will be on the
surface to be cleaned.
2. Change to the 40º nozzle - (white)
this nozzle delivers a less powerful
stream of water and a wider spray
pattern.
NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase
pump pressure. A higher pressure
setting than the factory set pressure
may damage pump.
Spray Wand Nozzles
The nozzles for the spray wand are
stored in the nozzle holder on the panel
assembly. Colors on the panel identify
nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer
to the following chart to choose the cor-
rect nozzle for the job to be performed.
