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.
Detergents & General Washing Techniques

causing severe nausea, fainting
or poisoning. The harmful
elements may cause property
damage or severe injury.
AVERTISSEMENT: Certains
détergents peuvent être
dangereux s'ils sont inhalés ou
ingérés, provoquant de fortes
nausées, des évanouissements et
l'empoisonnement. Les éléments dangereux
peuvent causer des dommages à la propriété ou
des blessures graves.
STEP 1: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers.
Household detergents could
damage the pump. Prepare
detergent solution as required by the
manufacturer. Fill a container with
pressure washer detergent. Place
the filter end of detergent suction
tube into the detergent container.

STEP 2: With the engine running, pull trigger to operate
machine. Liquid detergent is drawn into the machine
and mixed with water. Apply detergent to work area. Do
not allow detergent to dry on surface.
IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent after
each use by placing the suction tube into a bucket
of clean water, open detergent valves then run the
pressure washer for 1-2 minutes.
Thermal Pump Protection
If you run your pressure washer for 3-5 minutes without
pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water
in the pump can reach high temperatures. When the
water reaches this temperature, the pump protector
engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm
water onto the ground. This thermal device prevents
internal damage to the pump.
Cleaning Tips
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place
detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution
and apply to surface at low pressure (for best results,
limit your work area to sections approximately 6 feet
square and always apply detergent from bottom to top).
Allow detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do
not allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface
appears to be drying, simply wet down surface with
fresh water. If needed, use brush to remove stubborn
dirt. Rinse at high pressure from top to bottom in an
even sweeping motion keeping the spray nozzle
approximately 1 foot from cleaning surface. Use over-
lapping strokes as you clean and rinse any surface. For
best surface cleaning action spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
•
Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern
and distance for maximum cleaning results.
•
If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use
extreme caution as pressure washer may
remove the loose paint from the surface.
•
Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash
a small area, then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, continue to
pressure washing.
