PRESSURE WASHER
High Pressure Pump (located
inside the shroud): Increases the
pressure of the water supply.
Engine: Drives the high pressure
pump.
High Pressure Hose: Carries the
pressurized water from the pump to
the gun and wand.
Spray Gun: Connects with wand to
control water flow rate, direction, and
pressure.
Multi-Reg Wand: Has a spray nozzle
which adjust from a pencil stream (0°)
to a wide angle fan spray (40°). The
spray can be adjusted by twisting the
nozzle clockwise and/or
counterclockwise. Also, the high and
low pressure settings can be con-
trolled by moving the nozzle in and
out. See Operation section.

TO ADJUST PRESSURE
The pressure setting is preset at the
factory to achieve optimum pressure
and cleaning. If you need to lower the
pressure, 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. Reduce the speed of the
gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the
engine down and the water
pressure will go down with it.
DO NOT attempt to
increase pump
pressure. A higher pressure
setting than the factory set
pressure may damage pump.
HOW TO USE
IMPORTANT: Read and understand
how to use the pressure washer
before operating.
TO USE WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with a multi-reg wand with both high
and low pressure settings. The high
pressure setting is for cleaning and
rinsing, the low pressure setting is for
applying chemicals or cleaning
solutions to surfaces.
Risk of injection or
injury to person. Do
not direct discharge stream toward
persons, unprotected skin, eyes, or
towards any pets or animals.
Serious injury can occur.
For high pressure operation, pull back
the nozzle of the multi-reg wand as
shown.
PRESSURE WASHER
TERMINOLOGY
NOTE: Become familiar with this
terminology before operating.
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
through the pressure washer.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied
by PSI.
Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the
pump is recirculating water because
the trigger of the spray gun is not
pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode
for more than two (2) minutes, the
water temperature will rise to a
dangerous level and damage internal
components of the pump.Any
damage to pump due to these causes
will not be covered under warranty.
DO NOT allow your
unit to operate in
bypass mode for more than two
minutes at any time. Overheating
of pump can cause damage to
pump.
Thermal Relief Valve: In an effort to
prevent damage, pumps are equipped
with a thermal relief valve. This valve
will open when the temperature inside
the pump rises too high. This valve
will then release a gush of water in an
effort to lower the temperature inside
the pump. Immediately after this
occurs, the valve will close.The
thermal relief valve is part of the
pump and is not visible to the user.
Chemical Injection: Feeds cleaning
agents into the pump to mix with the
pressurized water and help in
cleaning.
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.

12- ENG
D25852
The nozzle at the end of the multi-reg
wand can be rotated to change the
high pressure spray pattern from a
narrow jet to a 40º fan shape, as
shown. Markings have been placed
on the nozzle to help you select the
spray pattern.
For low pressure operation, extend
the nozzle of the multi-reg wand as
shown.

hours of operation or once each year,
whichever comes first. This will help
your engine to start easier and run
better.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, hose or tank
during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
Engine Preparation
• First add a fuel stabilizer to the
fuel tank.
• Run pressure washer for a full 5
minutes to allow fuel stabilizer to
enter the fuel system.
While preparing the
engine make sure
water supply is turned on and
flowing to the unit. NEVER run unit
without water supply running
through pump. Failure to do so will
cause pump damage.
• Next shut off engine and
disconnect the water supply.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire
and remove the spark plug.
• Add one teaspoon of oil through
the spark plug hole.
• Place rag over spark plug hole
and pull the recoil a few times to
lubricate the combustion
chamber.
• Replace the spark plug, but do
not connect the spark plug wire.
PUMP
It is recommended that you follow
these steps to protect the internal
seals of the pressure washer when
storing the unit for an extended
period and WHEN FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
NOTE: If storing the unit for more
than 30 days RV antifreeze or
windshield washer fluid needs to be
run through the pump. This helps
prevent damage within the pump
head. RV antifreeze or windshield
washer fluid is not only added for
winterizing, but for proper lubrica-
tion regardless of temperature or
environment. Storing the pump less
than 30 days does not require the
RV antifreeze or windshield washer
fluid.
1. Obtain a funnel, six ounces of RV
antifreeze or windshield washer
fluid, and approximately 12 inches
of garden hose with a male hose
connector attached to one end.
Use only RV
antifreeze. Any
other antifreeze is corrosive and can
damage pump.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Disconnect high pressure hose
from pump and from spray gun.
4. Connect 12 inch length of hose to
water inlet of pump.
5. Add RV antifreeze or windshield
washer fluid to hose as shown.
STORAGE

6. Pull engine starter rope slowly
several times until antifreeze or
windshield washer fluid comes
out of high pressure hose con-
nection of pump.
7. Remove short hose from water
inlet of pump.
8. Install spark plug into spark plug
hole and tighten securely, then
reconnect spark plug wire.
9. Drain all water from high pressure
hose, coil it, and store it in cradle
of the pressure washer handle.
10. Drain all water from spray gun
and wand by holding spray gun in
a vertical position with nozzle end
pointing down and squeezing
trigger. Store in gun/hose holder.
11. Store chemical hose, high
pressure hose, spray gun, and
wand so they are protected from
damage, such as being run over.
