• 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!
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.
• Breathing ex h aust fumes will cause se r i o us injury or death! En g ine exhaust
contains carbon mon ox ide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid en c losed areas
such as ga rages, base ments, etc.
• Never op e r a te unit in or near a lo c a t ion occupied by humans or animals.
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. 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.
• 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.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Never pull water supply hose to move pres s ure
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. If pump is left in bypass
mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be
damaged.

Prior to starting, refer to your engine manual for proper starting 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 Owner's Manual for correct
procedure.
NOTICE: Use of fuels with greater than 10% ethanol are
not approved for use in this product per EPA regulations
and will damage the unit and void the warranty.
2.
Check engine oil level. Refer to Engine Owner's 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 (M) is in water inlet of pump. NOTE: Convex side faces
out.

5.
Connect water source (N) to pump inlet (J). NOTE: Water source must provide
a minimum of 5 gallons per minute at 20 PSI.
6.
Connect high pressure hose (C) to pump outlet (I).
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect
against backflow when connected to a potable water system.
7.
Choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed. See how To Use spray
Wand instructions in this section. NOTE: If applying a chemical or cleaning
solution, see how To Apply Chemicals/Cleaning Solvents instructions in this
section.
8.
Turn water source on.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
pump.
9.
Remove all air from the pump and high pressure hose by depressing trigger
until a steady stream of water is present.
10. Start engine. See Engine Owner's Manual for correct procedure.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. If engine does not start after two
pulls, squeeze trigger of gun to relieve pump pressure. Pull starter cord slowly
until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent
hand or arm injury.
NOTE: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start. If the engine does
not start, check the oil level and add oil as needed.
11. Depress trigger on gun to start water flow.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Stand on a stable surface and
grip gun/spray wand firmly with both hands. Expect the gun to kick when
triggered.
12. Release trigger to stop water flow.
WARNING: Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without
the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to
the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal
relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the
internal temperature. The valve will then close.
WARNING: Risk of injury from spray. Always engage
the trigger lock (O) when gun is not in use. Failure to do so
could cause accidental spraying.
