SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand.
This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these symbols.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury .
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury .
NOTICE: Indicates a practice not related to personal injury which, if not avoided, may result in property damage .
IMpORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill you in minutes. Engine exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if you do not smell engine exhaust.
• NEVER use an engine inside homes, garages, crawlspaces or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
• ONLY use outdoors and far away from open windows, doors and vents. These openings can pull in engine exhaust.
• Even when the engine is used correctly, CO may leak into your home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery backup CO alarm in your house. Read and follow all directions for CO alarm before using.
If you feel sick, dizzy or weak at anytime, move to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual and the engine instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.
If you have any questions regarding the product, please contact our customer service department at www.simpsoncleaning.com.
DANGER: Risk of injection or severe injury. Keep clear of nozzle. Do not direct discharge stream at persons or live animals. This product is to be used only by trained operators.
WARNING: This product and its exhaust contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, some cleaning products and dust contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

OPERATION
PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.
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. Tum off the engine and relieve the pressure in the gun during
these
extended situations.
Thermal Relief Valve {P, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the ~ pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of water · in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. then close.
The valve will •
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 methods.
1.
2.
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.
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.

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:
1. Ensure detergent siphon hose (F, Figure 7) is attached to barbed fitting location near high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.
2. Place other end of detergent siphon hose with filter on it into container holding chemicaVcleaning solution.
NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped 1 gallon of chemicaVcleaning solution will be used.
3. Install low pressure (black) nozzle into quick connect fitting of spray wand, see
How To Use
Spray
Wand paragraph in this section.
4. After use of chemicals, place detergent siphon 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 chemical residue will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if the black soap nozzle is not installed on the spray wand.

DANGER: Risk of fluid injection and laceration. When using the high pressure 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 wom or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. fXJ NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!

WARNING: Risk of Fire, Asphyxiation and Burn. Never fill fuel tank when engine
is
running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
• Never fill fuel tank completely. Rll tank to 112" (12.7 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wi,oe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.
• fXJ 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.
14- ENG
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Never pull water supply hose to move pressure
washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
• 00 NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
• Never tum 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. If pump is left in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.
If you do not understand these precautions, please contact our customer service department at www.simpsoncleaning.com
