Assembly instructions
1. Locate and remove all loose parts from the
carton.
2. Cut four corners of the carton from top to bottom
and lay the panels at.
3. Slide the handle assembly (G) onto the frame (H)
and secure with saddle bolts and knobs.
NOTE: Risk of personal injury. Avoid placing hands
between handle and frame when assembling to
prevent pinching.
4. Remove colored quick connect nozzles (K) from
plastic bag and insert them into nozzle holder (L).
NOTE: Nozzles are color coded to match colored
nozzles on panel.
5. Connect wand (E) to gun (D). Tighten securely.
6. Attach high pressure hose (C) to gun (D). Tighten
securely.
NOTE: The engine is shipped without oil. Before
starting engine, add the correct amount of oil recom-
mendedoil(SAE30).Damagetotheenginewill
occur if the engine is run without oil, this damage will
not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Thehigh-pressurepumpwaslledwithoilat
the factory. Always check oil level before using (refer
to Maintenance for more information).
Pressure Washer Terminology
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch): The unit of meas-
ure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure,
hydraulic pressure, etc.
LPM (Litres Per Minute): The unit of measure
for the ow rate of water.
CU (Cleaning Units): LPM multiplied by psi
equals CU.
Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within
the pump when the gun trigger is not pulled. This
feature allows the operator to release the trigger gun
and reposition themselves without having to turn the
engine off in between cleaning actions.
NOTE: Allowing the unit to run for more than two
minutes without the gun trigger being pulled could
causeoverheatinganddamagetothepump.Do
not let the pressure washer run for more than two
minutes in Bypass Mode. Turn off the engine and
relieve the pressure in the gun during these
extended situations.
Thermal Relief Valve (Q): When
the temperature inside the pump
rises too high, this valve will open
and release a gush of water in an
effort to lower the temperature
inside the pump. The valve will
then close.
Detergent 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 20psi and 20 litres per minute.
If your water source is a well, the garden hose length
can only be 30ft. (9m) max.
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of
contamination always protect against
backowwhenconnectedtoapotablewater
system.

Pressure Adjustments
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. Use the Dial-N-Wash to increase and decrease
the pressure. Refer to the Dial-N-Wash Adjust-
ment paragraph.
NOTE: DONOTattempttoincreasepumppressure.
A higher pressure setting than the factory set
pressure may damage pump.
How to use the Spray Wand
The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the
nozzle holder on the panel assembly. Colors on the
panel identify nozzle spray pattern.
Refer to the following chart to choose the correc
nozzle for the job to be performed.
Operating the Power Washer
NOTE: The high pressure spray from your pressure
washer is capable of causing damage to surfaces
such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping
andtrim,anddelicateobjectssuchasowers
and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be
cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to
resist damage from the force of the spray.

Changing Nozzles on Spray Wand
The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the
nozzle holder on the panel assembly. Colors on the
panel identify nozzle spray pattern.
DANGER! Riskofuidinjection.Donotdirect
discharge stream toward persons, unprotect-
ed skin, eyes or any pets or animals. Serious
injury will occur.
WARNING! Flying objects could cause risk of
seriousinjury.Donotattempttochangenoz-
zles while pressure washer is running. Turn
engine off before changing nozzles.
1. Pull quick-connect
coupler (E) back and
insert nozzle (K).
2. Release quick-connect
coupler and twist nozzle
to make sure it is secure
in coupler.
WARNING! Flying object could cause risk of
serious injury. Ensure nozzle is completely
insertedinquickconnectsocketandquick-
connect collar is fully engaged (forward)
before squeezing gun trigger.
Applying Chemicals & Solvents
Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low
pressure operation.
NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals designed for
pressurewasheruse.Donotusebleach.
1. Ensure detergent siphon hose (F) is attached to
barbed tting location near high pressure hose
connection of pump
as shown.
2. Place other end of siphon
hose (with lter on) into
container holding
chemical / cleaning
solution.
NOTE: For every 7 litres of water pumped
1 litre of chemical/cleaning solution will be used.
3. Install the black low pressure nozzle into the
quick connect tting of the spray wand and rotate
the Dial-N-Wash (M) to the MAX pressure setting
as shown in ‘How To Use Spray Wand’ on the
previous page.
NOTE: To apply chemicals the black low pressure
nozzlemustbeinstalledandtheDial-N-Washmust
be in the MAX pressure setting as shown in ‘How To
UseSprayWand’onthepreviouspage.
4. After use of chemicals, place detergent siphon
hose into container of clean water and draw clean
water through chemical injection system to rinse
system thoroughly. If chemicals remain in the
pump, it could be damaged. Pumps damaged
due to chemical residue will not be covered under
warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if the
black soap nozzle is not installed on the spray wand.
Starting the Pressure Washer
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, read
the pressure washer instruction manual and
the engine instruction manual before starting
pressure washer.
DANGER! Riskofuidinjectionandlacera-
tion.Whenusingthehighpressuresetting,
DONOTallowthehighpressuresprayto
come in contact with unprotected skin, eyes,
or with any pets or animals. Serious injury will
occur.
Your washer operates at uid pressures and veloci-
ties high enough to penetrate human and animal
esh, which could result in amputation or other
serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose ttings or worn or dam-
aged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT
