_ Never start pressure washer
without water source turned on
and connected to pressure washer. Failure to do so
will cause pump damage.
To Start Your Pressure Washer
• Remove gas cap.
= Add unleaded gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
= Do not overfill.
Connect garden hose to the water inlet on the
pressure washer. Tighten by turning counterclock-
wise.
,, PUMP
DISCHARGE
• Connect high pressure hose to discharge on pump.
Connect the garden hose to the water spout and
turn water supply on.
Squeeze trigger on pressure washer wand to
relieve air pressure caused by turning on the water.
Water will spew out of the gun in a thin stream.
This will make it easier to start the engine.
Engage the safety latch on the spray gun. This
locks the trigger in place and keeps you from
accidentally spraying a high pressure stream.
SAFETY
LATCH
On the engine there is a choke/run lever. Place
lever to the choke position.
On the engine there is a throttle control lever. Place
throttle to the rabbit position. Always start engine
with throttle in the rabbit (high speed) position.
C.GKE
Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resis-
tance is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
NOTE: If engine does not start right away, squeeze the
trigger on the gun to relieve air pressure caused by
turning on the water. Water will spew out of the gun in
a thin stream. This will make it easier to pull start the
engine. If more than five pulls, place choke lever back
to run position.
When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to
RUN position.
For hot engine restarts, make sure throttle is in the
rabbit (high speed) position and the choke lever is
in the RUN position.
Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until
resistance is felt, then pull firmly to start engine.
