OPERATION

PUMP LUBRICANT
The pressure washer pump has been filled with sufficient
lubricant at the factory and is maintenance free. You do not
need to check or add lubricant to the pump before initial use.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figure 12.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
 Connect the garden hose.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting.
 Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the high pressure
trigger to relieve air pressure. Once a steady stream of
water appears, release the trigger.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
 After ensuring the switch is in the OFF position, connect
the pressure washer to the power supply.
NOTE: If using an extension cord, make sure to arrange
a drip loop as described on page 3.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections
dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
 Press the reset button on the pressure washer's plug to
make sure the unit is ready for operation.
 Press ON ( I ) on the switch to start the motor.
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump during
use. If you notice any lubricant leaking around the pump,
stop using the pressure washer immediately and take it
to an authorized service center for repair. Failure to do
so may cause property damage.
