HOW TO USE THE PRESSURE WASHER
If you have any problems operating your pressure washer,
please call the pressure washer help-line at [1] 919-550-3259.
WARNING
Pressure Washer Clearance
Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration
when positioning pressure washer.
•
Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
•
Operate this unit on a stable surface.
•
Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a
ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.
•
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure
spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.
High pressure spray could cause you to fall if you are too close
to the cleaning surface.
CAUTION:
•
Never use the pressure washer to draw in water
contaminated with solvents (e.g. paint thinners,
gasoline, oil, etc.).
•
Dirt in the feed water will damage the unit.
•
To avoid this risk, we recommend checking
•
the water filter (located inside the water inlet; to
clean it out see Maintenance section on page 13).
•
Always prevent debris from being drawn into the unit
by using a clean water source and an accessory
water filter if required.
Water Supply (Cold Water Only):
•
Do not draw non-water liquids through the unit. For use with
cold water supply only.
•
Water hose must be at least a 1/2 inch diameter.
•
Flow rate of water supply must not fall below 2GPM (gallons
per minute).
•
Flow rate can be determined by running the water for one
minute into an empty 5-gallon container.
•
The water supply temperature must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
CAUTION:
•
To prolong the life of the unit, it is recommended to rest
the unit 5 minutes after every 30 minutes of use.
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray which
increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
•
Always wear eye protection when using this equipment or in
vicinity of where equipment is in use.
•
Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are wearing
adequate eye protection.

OPERATION

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment
produces can pierce skin and its underlying tissues,
leading to serious injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause
injury.
•
Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
•
ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun
trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine.
Engage trigger lock when not in use.
Step 1:
•
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
Step 2:
•
Fasten the quick-connect coupling onto the garden hose and
then attach the quick-connecting coupling to the inlet
adaptor, as shown in the Figure below.
Step 3:
•
Insert the desired wand into spray gun, and twist 1/4 turn
until rectangular tab appears.
Step 4:
•
To use another wand, reverse Step 3 and insert desired wand
by repeating Step 3.
