Operation
SURFACE PREPARATION
The following cleaning procedure will help you organize your cleaning task and
ensures that you will achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.
Remember to use the spraying / cleaning techniques mentioned in the following
section.
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning job, prepare the surface you intend to clean.
Clear furniture from the area and make sure that all windows and doors are closed
tightly. Also, protect all plants and trees near the cleaning area with a drop cloth. A
covering ensures that your plants won't be sprayed by the detergents.
START UP
ALWAYS use this start up procedure to ensure that the unit is started safely and
properly.
If water has frozen in the pressure washer, thaw the pressure washer in a
warm room before starting. DO NOT pour hot water on or into the pump;
internal parts will be damaged.
1. Check engine oil levels. Add oil as necessary.
2. Check fuel level. Add unleaded gasoline (rated 86 octane or higher) as required.
DO NOT refuel a hot engine. Refueling a hot engine could cause a fi re.
Use only fresh, clean regular or unleaded gasoline. Close the fuel shutoff
valve during refueling.
3. Attach a garden hose to the inlet side of the pump and connect it to the water
supply. Use a hose with an internal diameter (I.D.) of 5/8 in. (1.58 cm) and a length
of 50 ft. (15 m) or less.
