OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FLUSHING THE SYSTEM:

This unit has a steel coil which, after setting, will cause the water remaining in
the coil from the previous usage to turn brown or black. This water must be
flushed from the system before start-up. This procedure should be performed
WITHOUT the high pressure hose, gun and lance assembly installed.
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Start the engine following the start-up procedures given in the Engine Manual
accompanying this unit.
3. Adjust the engine to a low speed until you see water exiting the water
outlet. (This may take 3-5 minutes) Adjust the engine throttle back to full
RPM.
4. Once the system is flushed, stop the engine and connect the high pressure
discharge hose to the water outlet of the unit.
5. Connect the dual lance to the trigger gun assembly.

START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION:

1. Refer to the "Safety Warnings" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Ensure that the burner switch is in the OFF position.
4. Pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze
the trigger. Hold the trigger gun open while starting the engine according
to the manufacturer's instructions in the engine manual accompanying this
unit. Brace yourself for possible gun kickback when the pump starts.
5. Once the engine has started, ensure the engine throttle is adjusted to full
RPM and perform the following procedures with the gun open:
a. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is
found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See "Risk of Explosion or Fire"
warnings, pg. 4. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that
the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If
you require service, contact Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or
leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT LEAK! TURN UNIT OFF
IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose before starting the unit. See "Risk of
Injection" warnings, pg. 5. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced
and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of
the unit. If you require service, contact Customer Service.
6. At this point, the unit is operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger
the gun several times. NEVER place hand or fingers in front of the nozzle
or look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe
injury!
7. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple
rule can cause premature failure of pump packings, resulting in costly pump
repair.
8. Your pressure washer can deliver high pressure spray and a variety of spray
patterns using cold water. If you wish to use the Hot Water application or
Cleaning with Detergents, see pg. 15 for the correct procedures.
