OPERATION GENERAL PRESSURE WASHER OPERATION TECHNIQUES 1. Always follow safety practices as outlined. 2. Always begin spraying at a safe distance from the intended surface and move closer until the desired cleaning effect can be observed. 3. Generally, do not use a 90° spray angle. Instead, it is usually more effective to use a shallower angle so that the reflecting spray can be directed in a safe and controlled direction.
MAINTENANCE PUMP MAINTENANCE PUMP: Change the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation. After the initial change, every 12 months or 500 hour intervals are recommended. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may be required in greater frequency. Use SAE 30W non-detergent pump oil and fill only to the center of the oil sight glass.
3. We recommend using BE Power Equipment Pump Saver Anti-Freeze. It has a specially designed cap to thread right onto the garden hose fitting of the pump. (Part number 85.490.046, contact your local dealer).
