 Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to re-
lieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the engine:
 Move the fuel valve to the OPEN position.
 Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
 Move the choke to the START position.
NOTE: If restarting after a brief stop (i.e., after refueling
or moving), leave the choke lever in the RUN position.
 Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance is
felt. Give the starter grip a short, brisk pull to start the
engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip and rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
NOTICE:
If the starter grip and rope becomes difficult to pull,
squeeze the trigger to relieve water pressure before at-
tempting to start the engine again.
 Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke to the RUN position.
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
engine during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or engine seals, stop using the pres-
sure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may
cause property damage.
To stop the engine:
 Put the on/off switch in the OFF position.
 Turn the fuel valve to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the
system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet (91,4 cm)
of clearance on all sides of this product, including over-
head. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down"
time before storage. Keep all body parts, clothing, com-
bustible materials, and hoses away from the muffler.
Heat created by muffler and exhaust gases could be
hot enough to cause serious burns, ignite combustible
objects, and/or damage high pressure hoses that can
result in an injection injury.
OPERATION
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 14.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due
to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of
control and injury to yourself and others.
 Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
Flow control regulator:
 Hold the trigger handle firmly in one hand and rotate
the flow control regulator with the other hand. Turn the
regulator counterclockwise to decrease the flow of water
and pressure or clockwise to increase.
NOTE: Use soap nozzle at maximum setting.
To engage the lock out:
 Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
 Push the lock out down and into its original position.
Start with the nozzle 1–2 ft. away from the cleaning surface
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can
damage the cleaning surface.
SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE
JOB
See Figure 15.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the
job. Refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more informa-
tion about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the en-
gine, relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle,
and locking the lock out on the trigger handle. NEVER
point the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-
connect feature contains small springs that could eject
the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow these in-
structions could result in an eye injury or other serious
personal injury.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Pull back the quick-connect collar.
