To Start
DANGER: DO NOT point wand or spray gun at
yourself or at any person. Bodily injury may result
from water under high pressure.
IMPORTANT: The water must be turned on before
starting. Running the pump dry will cause damage
and void warranty.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the machine to run with
trigger gun closed for more than 3 minutes at any
time or damage to pump may occur.
1. Turn water ON.
2. Hold wand firmly with trigger gun in the closed
position.
3. Turn fuel shut-off valve counterclockwise (CCW) to
open. Move choke lever to full choke position.
Choke may not be needed on warm engine.
4. Move throttle control to half throttle.
5. Turn key on engine clockwise (CW) hold until
engine starts. DO NOT crank engine for longer
than 15 seconds at any one time or starter damage
may occur. If the engine does not start, it may have
air in the gas lines and be unable to pull gasoline
from the fuel tank. This symptom may appear if the
engine has not been run recently or had been run
until all gasoline was depleted from gas lines.
6. When the engine starts, move choke lever until
engine runs smoothly. Then move throttle control
to full throttle. When engine warms, move choke to
no choke position.
IMPORTANT: To allow for proper battery charging
and AC generator operation the throttle control
MUST be kept in full throttle position as soon as
choke lever is placed in no choke position.
7. Holding wand firmly, squeeze the trigger gun open.
Allow air to purge from system.
8. If hot water is desired, adjust the thermostat to
proper temperature. Close the trigger gun and turn
burner switch ON.
IMPORTANT: The throttle control must be in the full
throttle position or damage to the AC generator or
burner may result.
9. Open the trigger gun. The burner will fire immedi-
ately with a puff of smoke. If smoke continues,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in this manual.
When the trigger gun is closed or the temperature
setting is reached, the burner will automatically
turn off.
