use of 4 hours per day, 5 days per week.
Owner/User Responsibility:
The owner and/or user must have an understanding of
the manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings
before using this Landa pressure washer.Warning infor-
mation should be emphasized and understood. If the op-
erator is not fluent in English, the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and warnings shall be read to and discussed with
the operator in the operator’s native language by the pur-
chaser/owner, making sure that the operator compre-
hends its contents.
Owner and/or user must study and maintain for future
reference the manufacturers’instructions.
This manual should be considered a permanent
part of the machine and should remain with it if
machine is resold.
When ordering parts, please specify model and
serial number.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTION
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
injury, read operating instruc-
tions carefully before using.
1. Read the owner's manual thor-
oughly.Failure to follow instruc-
tions could cause malfunction
of the machine and result in
death, serious bodily injury and/
or property damage.
2. Know how to stop the machine and bleed pressures
quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
3. Stay alert — watch what you are doing.
4. All installations must comply with local codes. Con-
tact your electrician, plumber, utility company or the
selling distributor for specific details.To comply with
the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and provide
additional protection from risk of electric shock, single
phase pressure washers are equipped with a UL ap-
proved ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) power
cord.Three phase machines must be connected to
a GFCI circuit breaker.
WARNING: Flammable liquids
can create fumes which can ignite
causing property damage or se-
vere injury.
WARNING: Risk of explosion —
do not spray flammable liquids.
5. Risk of explosion - do not spray
flammable liquids or operate in
an area where flammable or ex-
plosive materials are used or
stored.
WARNING: Keep water spray
away from electric wiring or fatal
electric shock may result.
6. To protect the operator from
electrical shock, the machine
must be electrically grounded.
It is the responsibility of the
owner to connect this machine
to a UL grounded receptacle of
proper voltage and amperage ratings.
Do not spray water on or near electrical components.
Do not touch machine with wet hands or while stand-
ing in water. Always disconnect power before ser-
vicing.
7. Grip cleaning wand securely with both hands before
starting the cleaner. Failure to do this could result in
injury from a whipping wand.
WARNING: High pressure stream
of fluid that this equipment can
produce can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to se-
rious injury and possible ampu-
tation.
8. High pressure developed by
these machines will cause per-
sonal injury or equipment dam-
age. Use caution when operating. Do not direct dis-
charge stream at people, or severe injury or death
will result.

9. Never make adjustments on machine while in op-
eration.
WARNING: High pressure spray
can cause paint chips or other
particles to become airborne and
fly at high speeds.
10. Eye safety devices, foot protec-
tion and protective clothing
must be worn when using this
equipment.
11. Do not operate with the trigger
in the off position for extensive periods of time as
this may cause damage to the pump.
12. The best insurance against an accident is precau-
tion and knowledge of the machine.
13. Landa will not be liable for any changes made to our
standard machines, or any components not pur-
chased from Landa.
14. Be certain all quick coupler fittings are secured be-
fore using pressure washer.
15. Never run pump dry or leave spray gun closed longer
than 5 minutes.
16. Inlet water supply must be cold and clean fresh wa-
ter.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is nec-
essary when a machine is used near children. Do
not allow children to operate the pressure washer.
This machine must be attended during opera-
tion.
18. Protect from freezing.
19. When the machine is working, do not cover or place
in a closed space where ventilation is insufficient.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
❑Pump oil (SAE 30W non-detergent oil)
❑Clean, fresh, cold water supply (5 gpm • 5/8" • 20 psi)
❑Hose, wand, nozzle (nozzle size per serial plate)
❑Water filter (intact, non restrictive)
❑Proper electrical supply, receptacle and circuit breaker.
SET-UP PROCEDURES
These machines are designed for indoor use.
Machine must be stored indoors when not in use.
1. Attach a 5/8" garden hose to inlet connector. Mini-
mum flow should be 5 gpm.
2. Attach high pressure hose to discharge nipple using
quick coupler. Lock coupler securely into place by
pulling back coupler collar and inserting it onto dis-
charge nipple, then pushing collar forward to lock in
place.
3. Attach wand to spray gun using teflon tape on threads
to prevent leakage.
4. Attach connector on discharge hose to spray gun
using teflon tape on threads.
5. Remove oil plug on top of pressure washer pump
and replace with dipstick supplied. (This may be
installed from the factory.)
6. Check oil level on oil dipstick on top of pump. Oil
should be visible one half way up sight glass (30W
non-detergent).
7. For operator safety and to comply with electrical stan-
dards, the PDE2-15021D comes with a 120V 20 amp
plug end that will fit only into a 20 amp receptacle.
8. On 230V machines, attach appropriate plug end (not
included) to power cord.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With power switch in OFF position, plug power cord
into a grounded type of receptacle of proper voltage
and amperage reading. Then push GFCI reset but-
ton at end of power cord if required.
2. Turn on water at faucet and pull trigger on spray gun
allowing water to flow until all air has discharged
from system. Check for water leaks; tighten as
needed.
3. Pull wand coupler collar back and insert pressure
nozzle into coupler then secure by pushing collar
forward.
4. With spray gun off, turn power switch to ON position
and check for leaks.
5. With spray nozzle pointed away from you or any-
body else, press trigger on spray gun to obtain pres-
surized spray.
GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES
1. Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from the
surface being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get un-
der the material and lift it off.
2. When washing large objects, use detergent injector
to apply detergent (see section “How to Use the De-
tergent Injector”). Start washing from the bottom and
work up. Better detergent economy and faster re-
sults will be obtained by allowing the detergent to
set 5-10 minutes. After washing, rinse from the top
down.
3. Cleaning heavy dirt or material away with a hard
stream of clear water is recommended before using
a cleaning agent.
WARNING
PROTECTIVE
EYEWEAR AND
CLOTHING MUST
BE WORN.

SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
1. Rinse all lines (and injector) with clean water, to re-
move any soap residue.
2. Turn power switch to OFF position.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. Open spray gun to relieve remaining pressure.
5. Remove water supply hose.
6. In freezing conditions, disconnect water supply and
open spray gun to allow water to drain, then turn off
motor.
CAUTION: Do not allow pump to run longer than 5
minutes without water. Disconnect all hoses to al-
low water to drain.
CAUTION: With machine off, open spray gun to re-
lease pressure before removing discharge hose.

HOW TO USE THE
DETERGENT INJECTOR
WARNING: Some detergents may
be harmful if inhaled or ingested
causing severe nausea, fainting
or poisoning. The harmful ele-
ments may cause property dam-
age or severe injury.
The machine can siphon and mix de-
tergents with the use of Landa's de-
tergent injector kit.
1. Pull injector quick coupler collar back and secure on
discharge nipple. Injector valve body arrow should
point in direction of flow.
2. Connect high pressure hose to injector nipple se-
curing quick coupler.
3. Start machine as outlined in Operating Instructions.
4. Place detergent pick-up tube into container of deter-
gent solution.
5. Install the brass soap nozzle provided with the in-
jector into the quick coupler of the wand.
6. Open spray gun. Water detergent ratio is approxi-
mately 15 to 1.
7. When you finish washing, rinse by simply releasing
the spray gun, removing the soap nozzle, and re-
placing the pressure nozzle back into quick coupler.
NOTE: The detergent injector will not siphon with
the high pressure nozzle at the end of the wand.
8. If your machine has a variable pressure wand, turn
the pressure control handle counterclockwise to
lower the pressure by directing the water flow through
the soap nozzle which allows the detergent injector
to siphon soap. To rinse with high pressure water,
simply turn the control handle clockwise.
9. For clean up, place detergent pick-up tube into con-
tainer of clear water and follow steps 5 and 8 to pre-
vent detergent deposits from damaging the injector.
