Page 13: Preparing The Washer-Pressure Washer Mode
Preparing the Washer-Pressure Washer Mode ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock, connect the washer to a properly grounded electrical receptacle. Do not use an adapter or remove third (ground) prong. Make certain the connection between the washer power cord and receptacle is kept dry. The following electrical requirements must be met: 1. - Page 14 Preparing the Washer-Pressure Washer Mode INLET WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS 1. Inlet water supply must be a minimum of 20 PSI (1.4 bar). Attempting to operate the washer with less than adequate water supply will cause rapid wear of packings, valves and bearings that will dramatically shorten pump life.
- Page 15 Preparing the Washer-Pressure Washer Mode CHECK PUMP OIL 1. Remove shipping plug and install vented plug (A) on pump. 2. Check oil in pump. With washer on level surface, the oil should be 1/2 full, at the center of sight glass (B). If necessary, add SAE30W non-detergent oil, so level is 1/2 full, at center of sight glass.
