HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure
washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at
1-800-222-3136.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
To start your engine-powered pressure washer for the
first time, follow these instructions step-by-step. This
starting information also applies whenever you start
the engine after you have let the pressure washer sit
idle for at least a day.
• Place the pressure washer in an area close
enough to an outside water source capable of
supplying water at a flow rate greater than
2.4 gallons per minute.
• Check that the high pressure hose is tightly
connected to the spray gun and to the pump. See
"Assembling Your Pressure Washer" (page 6) for
illustrations.
• Make sure unit is in a level position.
• Connect the garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer pump. Turn on the water.
CAUTION: Do Not run the pump without the
water supply connected and turned on. You
must follow this caution or the pump will be
damaged.
• Squeeze trigger on gun to purge pump system of
air and impurities.
• Attach nozzle extension to spray gun. Tighten by
hand.
• Position the nozzle in the low pressure mode (slide
nozzle forward) and squeeze the trigger on the
spray gun to relieve pressure caused by turning
ON the water. Water will flow out of the gun in a
thin stream. Continue to hold trigger until there is a
steady stream of water and no air remains in the
system. Release the trigger.
• Engage the safety latch to the spray gun trigger.
