Operation; Start-Up Procedure Preparation - BE Power Equipment HW3024HG12V Operator's Manual

PRE-OPERATION SAFETY
1. This unit should only be placed on a level surface to ensure proper lubrication for the water pump while
operating. Placing the unit on a level surface will also ensure that fuel, oil, and other fluids don't spill
during operation. NEVER spray water directly on the unit.
2. Do not use unit in an area:
A. with insufficient ventilation.
B. where there is evidence of oil or fuel leaks.
C. where flammable gas vapors may be present.
This unit has multiple ignition sources that could cause a fire or explosion.
3. Do not allow the unit to be exposed to rain, snow, or freezing temperatures. If any part of the unit
becomes frozen, excessive pressure may build up in the unit which could cause it to burst. This would
result in possible serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
4. Pump oil level should be checked before each use. Make certain the oil is on the "Full" mark on the
dipstick or in the center of the oil sight glass. If the level appears to be low, fill with SAE30W non-
detergent pump oil.
5. Your pressure washer is equipped with an electric starter. On initial start-up, wear proper eye and skin
protection when filling the battery with acid. Fully charge the battery to allow electric starter to function.
MANUAL & SAFETY REVIEW
1. Review "Risk of Explosion or Fire" warnings, before fueling.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Engines: See the included engine Owner's Manual for fuel requirements.
4. Burner Fuel: When filling tank, use No. 1 or No 2 fuel oil/diesel or kerosene.
5. Check the engine oil level before starting the engine.
6. Review the engine manual accompanying this pressure washer for correct engine start-up and
maintenance procedures.

START-UP PROCEDURE PREPARATION

Before starting the unit, perform the following procedures:
1. Check the oil level and condition for the pump and engine. We recommend SAE 10W30 oil for engines
and SAE 30 mineral oil for pumps.
2. Inspect the water inlet strainer. Clean or replace if necessary.
3. Check all hose connections to ensure they are securely tightened.
4. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is found, do not start the unit. Be
sure that all damaged parts are replaced and mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the
unit.
5. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts, and leaks. If a cut or leak is found, do not use the hose.
Replace hose before starting unit. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical
problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit.
