DAMAGE WHEN TRANSPORTING
OR STORING
The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of caus-
ing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto
striping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers 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. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream
except for very strong surfaces like concrete and steel.
Operating without flow of water will result in equipment damage. Operating the pres-
sure washer with water supply shutoff will void your warranty. You should never run

PRESSURE WASHER
High Pressure Pump: 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.
Quick Connect Wand: Wand is
equipped with a female quick connect
coupler on the end. This allows the
user to quickly change out high-pres-
sure nozzles for different spray pat-
terns and change to the soap nozzle
for low pressure and chemical/soap
applications. See Operation section.
ENGINE
Refer to the engine manual for loca-
tion and operation of engine controls.
Chemical Hose: Allows cleaners or
cleaning solvents to be mixed with
the pressurized water stream. See
How To Siphon Chemicals/Cleaning

TERMINOLOGY
NOTE: Become familiar with this ter-
minology before operating.
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The
unit of measure for water pressure.
Also used for air pressure, hydraulic
pressure, etc.

11- ENG D25115
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 gaso-
line engine (RPM). Slow the
engine down and the water pres-
sure will go down with it.
3. Adjust the
pressure reg-
ulator on the
pump. Turn
the pressure
regulator
knob coun-
terclockwise
to lower
pressure.
Once you have finished using your
pressure washer, return the pressure
regulator to its original position by
turning it clockwise.
DO NOT try to turn
pressure regulator
knob past the built-in stop or dam-
age to pump will result.
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 dan-
gerous level and can damage internal
components of the pump.Any dam-
age 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 ther-
mal 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.
Chemical Injection: Feeds cleaning
agents into the pump to mix with the
pressurized water and help in clean-
ing.
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.
HOW TO USE
IMPORTANT: Read and understand
how to use the pressure washer
before operating.
TO USE WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with up to five spray nozzles. Each
nozzle is color coded and delivers a
specific spray pattern for a particular
cleaning purpose. The size of the
nozzle determines the size of the fan
spray and the pressure out of the
nozzle. The 0º, 15º , 25º, and 40º
nozzles are high pressure nozzles.
The chemical nozzle is a low pressure
nozzle.

The nozzles are
housed in receptacles
on the panel of the
pressure washer han-
dle. Colors on the
panel identify nozzle
location and spray
pattern.
Risk of injection or
injury to person. Do
not direct discharge stream toward
persons, unprotected skin, eyes, or
any pets or animals. Serious injury
can occur.
0º nozzle - Red. This nozzle delivers
a pinpoint stream and is extremely
powerful. It covers a very small area
of cleaning. This nozzle should only
be used on surfaces that can with-
stand this high pressure such as
metal or concrete. Do not use on
wood.
15º nozzle - Yellow. This nozzle
delivers a powerful 15 degree spray
pattern for intense cleaning of small
areas. This nozzle should only be
used on areas that can withstand the
high pressure from this nozzle.
25º nozzle - Green. This nozzle
delivers a 25 degree spray pattern for
intense cleaning of larger areas. This
nozzle should only be used on areas
that can withstand the pressure from
this nozzle.
40º nozzle - White. This nozzle
delivers a 40 degree spray pattern
and a less powerful stream of water.
It covers a wide area of cleaning.
This nozzle should be used for most
general cleaning jobs.
Chemical nozzle - Black. This noz-
zle is used to apply chemicals or
cleaning solutions. It has the least
powerful stream.
Changing Nozzles
DO NOT attempt
to change nozzles
while pressure washer is running.
Turn engine off before changing
nozzles.
1. Pull quick connect coupler back
and insert nozzle.
2. Release quick connect coupler
and twist nozzle to make sure it
is secure in coupler
