WARNING: Risk of bursting. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
OPERATION
Pressure Adjustments
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum pressure and cleaning. To lower the pres sure, follow these instructions.
1. Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to
Spray Wand Nozzles.
Spray Wand Nozzles (Fig. 1)

WARNING: Flying object could cause risk of serious injury. Ensure nozzle is completely inserted in quick-connect socket and quickconnect snap ring is fully engaged (forward) before squeezing gun trigger.
Chemicals and Cleaning 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.
TO APPLY CHEMICALS AND SOLVENTS
1. Press chemical hose (S) onto barbed
S fitting located near high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.
2. Place the other end of chemical hose with filter on it into the container holding chemical/cleaning solution.
NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped 1 gallon of chemical/cleaning solution will be used.
3. Install low-pressure (black) nozzle into quick connect fitting of spray wand, refer Spray Wand Nozzles.
4. After use of chemicals, place chemical 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 chemicals will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon when spray wand is in the high-pressure setting.
Starting
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 fluid injection and laceration. When using the highpressure 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 fluid pressures and velocities 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 result in injection injuries.
DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!
11
WARNING: Risk of fire, asphyxiation and burning. NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
• NEVER fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" (12.7 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.
areas. En gine exhaust con tains carbon mon ox ide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
CAUTION: NEVER pull water supply hose to move pres sure washer.
This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
• DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
• NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to pump will result.
• DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed.
When the temperature inside the pump rises
T too high the thermal relief valve (T) will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The thermal relief valve will then close. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.
START-UP PROCEDURE
1. In a well-ventilated outdoor area, add fresh, high-quality, unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Do not overfill.
Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine. Refer to engine instruction manual for correct procedure.
2. Check engine oil level. Refer to the engine instruction manual for correct procedure.
3. Connect the water hose to the water source. Turn the water source on to remove all air from the hose. When a steady stream of water is present, turn the water source off.
4. Verify the filter screen (U) is in water inlet of pump.
The cone side faces out.
5. Connect the cold water source (V) to pump inlet.
NOTE: Water source must provide a minimum of

Pump
The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winterizer, such as DP80 when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are expected. DP80 is availabe at the store where the pressure washer was purchased. If a pump protector/ winterizer is not available, RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid needs to be run through the pump as outlined in the steps below.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/ winterizer, RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid is to provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regardless of temperature or environment.
1. Obtain a funnel, 6 oz. of RV antifreeze or windshield washer fluid, and 16–36" of garden hose with a male hose connector attached to one end.
14
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Use only RV antifreeze. Any other an ti freeze is corrosive and can damage pump.
