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
not in use. Failure to do so could cause
accidental spraying.
Shutting Down
1. After each use, if you have applied chemicals, place
detergent siphon hose into container of clean water and
draw clean water through chemical injection system to
rinse system thoroughly.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the pump.
2. Turn engine off. See Engine Owner's Manual.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. NEVER turn the
water off with the engine running.
3. Turn water source off.
4. Pull trigger on spray gun to relieve any water pressure in
hose or spray gun.
NOTE: Failure to release system pressure will prevent removal
of high pressure hose from spray gun or pump connection.
5. See Storage section in this manual for proper
storage procedures.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Risk of burn hazard. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to hot
surfaces, water pressure or moving parts that can
cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Risk of fire hazard. Always disconnect,
spark plug wire, let the engine cool and release
all water pressure before performing any
maintenance or repair. The engine contains

should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with light oil or
lithium grease to prevent leakage and damage to the o-rings.
Nozzle Cleaning (Fig. M)
If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign materials, such as
dirt, excessive pressure may develop. If the nozzle becomes
