The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc. Sometimes noted as “Bar”, another unit of measure. GPM: Gallons per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water. CU: Cleaning Units. GPM 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. NOTICE: 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 (P): When the temperature inside the pump 5 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 P 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 20 psi and 5 Gallons Per Minute. If your water source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 30 ft. (9 m) max. WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect against backflow when connected to a potable water system. Pressure Washer Operating Features 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 meth­ ods. 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. Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to How To Use Spray Wand. NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump. How To Use Spray Wand The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly. Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed. Changing Nozzles on Spray Wand DANGER: Risk of fluid injection. Do not direct discharge stream toward persons, unprotected 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 nozzles while pressure washer is running. Turn engine off before changing nozzles. 12- ENG­ 1.

Frequently asked questions
The MSV 2623 has a maximum pressure output of 2600 PSI, while the MSV 3025 has a maximum pressure output of 3000 PSI.
To change nozzles, simply pull the quick-connect coupler back and insert the desired nozzle. Then, release the quick-connect coupler and twist the nozzle to ensure it is securely in place.
The MSV 2623 has a detergent siphon hose that you can use to mix cleaning agents with water. Simply place the other end of the detergent siphon hose into a container of your desired cleaning solution and press the siphon hose onto the barbed fitting near the high-pressure hose connection of the pump. The MSV3025 comes with an on-board detergent tank that you can fill with your desired pre-mixed solution. Make sure the valve for the tank is in the open position and then use the black soap nozzle for low-pressure spray.
First, fill the fuel tank and check the engine oil level. Connect the water hose to the water source and turn the water source on to remove all air from the hose. Connect the high-pressure hose to the pump outlet and the water source to the pump inlet. Choose your desired nozzle, turn the water source on, pull the trigger on the gun to remove air from the pump and hose, and then start the engine. Finally, depress the trigger on the gun to start the water flow.
Shut down the engine, turn off the water source, pull the trigger on the gun to relieve any water pressure in the hose and gun, and then store the pressure washer according to the instructions in the manual.
If your nozzle becomes clogged, shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply. Pull the trigger on the gun to relieve pressure, remove the nozzle from the wand, and clean it with the included nozzle cleaning tool. Reassemble the nozzle and reconnect the wand to the gun. Finally, turn on the water supply and start the pressure washer.
You should check and clean the water inlet filter periodically. To clean it, remove the filter, flush it with water on both sides, and re-insert it into the pump. Make sure the cone side of the filter faces out.
Drain all water from the high-pressure hose, the gun, and the wand. Store the detergent siphon hose (if equipped) in a protected area. To properly winterize the pump, use a pump protector/winterizer or RV antifreeze. See the manual for more details.
