the product. If you have any questions regarding the product, please contact our customer service
department at 1-866-393-3968.
Your pressure washer operates
at fluid pressures and veloci-
ties high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which
could result in amputation or
other serious injury. Leaks
caused by loose fittings or
worn or damaged hoses can
fesult in injection injuries. DO
NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION
AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a phy-
sician immediately!
Inspect the high-pressure hose regular-
ly. Replace the hose immediately if it is
damaged, worn, has melted from con-
tacting the engine, or shows signs of
cracks, bubbles, pinholes, or other
leakage. Never grasp a high-pressure
hose that is leaking or damaged.
Never touch, grasp, or attempt to cover
a pinhole or similar water leak on the
high pressure hose. The stream of
water IS under high pressure and WILL
penetrate skin.

Direct spray away from self and others.
Make sure hose and fittings are tight-
ened and in good condition. Never
hold onto the hose or fittings during
operation.
Do not allow the hose to contact muffler.
Never attach or remove wand or hose
fittings while system is pressurized.
Injuries can result if system
pressure is not reduced before
attempting maintenance or
disassembly.
To relieve system pressure, shut off
engine, turn off water supply and pull
gun trigger until water stops flowing.
Use only hoses and accessories rated
for pressure higher than your pressure
washer’s psi.

PRESSURE WASHER 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. Rotate the nozzle at the end of
the multi-adjustable spray wand
to widen the fan spray.
The wider fan spray will minimize
the pressure on the surface to
be cleaned.
PRESSURE WASHER
TERMINOLOGY
psi: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit
of measure for water pressure. Also
used for air pressure, hydraulic pres-
sure, 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
Bypass Mode: Allows water to
re-circulate within pump when the gun
trigger is not pulled.
Allowing the unit to
run for more than
two minutes without the gun trigger
pulled could cause overheating and
damage to the pump.
Thermal Relief Valve (not shown)
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 temperature
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 min-
imum requirements for a water supply
are 20 psi and 5 gallons per minute.
19

Risk of fluid
injection. Do not
direct discharge stream toward
persons, unprotected skin, eyes or
any pets or animals. Serious injury
will occur.
For high pressure operation, pull back
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
The nozzle at the end of the multi-
adjustable spray wand can be rotated
to change the high pressure spray
pattern from a 0º pencil stream to a
40º fan spray, 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-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
The powerful
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 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.
HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with a multi-adjustable spray 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.
How to Apply Chemicals/Cleaning
