Excell VR2522 Operation Manual page 6

Bypass Mode: Allows water to
re-circulate within pump when the gun
trigger is not pulled.
Allowing the unit to
run for more than
two minutes without the gun trigger
pulled could cause overheating and
damage to the pump.
Chemical Injection System: Mixes
cleaners or cleaning solvents with
the water to improve cleaning
effectiveness.
Water Supply: All pressure washers must
have a source of water. The minimum
requirements for a water supply are 20
PSI and 5 gallons per minute.
PRESSURE WASHER
OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the
factory to achieve op ti mum pres sure
and cleaning. If you need to lower the
pres sure, it can be accomplished by
these meth ods.
1. Back away from the sur face
to be cleaned. The further away
you are, the less the pressure will
be on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Rotate the nozzle at the end
of the multi-adjustable spray
wand to widen the fan spray.
The wider fan spray will minimize
the pressure on the surface to be
cleaned.
DO NOT attempt
to increase pump
pressure. A higher pressure setting
than the factory set pressure may
damage pump.
HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with a multi-adjustable spray wand
with both high and low pressure
settings. The high pressure setting
is for cleaning and rinsing, the low
pressure setting is for applying
chemicals or cleaning solutions to
surfaces.

Risk of fluid
injection. Do not
direct discharge stream toward
persons, unprotected skin, eyes or
any pets or animals. Serious injury
will occur.
For high pressure operation, pull back
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
High
Pressure
The nozzle at the end of the multi-
adjustable spray wand can be rotated
to change the high pressure spray
pattern from a 0º pencil stream to a
40º fan spray, as shown. Markings
have been placed on the nozzle to
help you select the spray pattern.
40º fan spray
0º pencil stream
For low pressure operation, extend
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
Low
Pressure
The powerful
spray from your
pressure washer is capable of
causing damage to surfaces such
as wood, glass, automobile paint,
auto striping and trim, and delicate
objects such as fl owers and shrubs.
Before spraying, check the item to
be cleaned to assure yourself that it
is strong enough to resist damage
from the force of the spray.

HOW TO APPLY
CHEMICALS/CLEANING
SOLVENTS
Applying chemicals or cleaning
solvents is a low pressure operation.
NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals
designed for pressure washer use. Do
not use bleach.
To Apply chemicals:
Barbed Fitting
1. Press chemical
hose onto
barbed fi tting
located near high
pressure hose
connection of pump as shown.
2. Place other end of chemical
hose with fi lter on it into container
holding chemical/cleaning
solution.
To reduce the risk of injury, read the pressure washer
instruction manual and the engine instruction manual before
starting pressure washer.
Risk of fluid injection and laceration. When using the high-pressure
setting, DO NOT allow the high-pressure spray to come in contact
with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury will occur.
• Your washer operates at fl uid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal fl esh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fi ttings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician
immediately!
Risk of Fire, Asphyxiation and Burn. NEVER fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
• NEVER fi ll fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of fi ller neck to
provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment
before starting engine.
• NEVER run engine in doors or in en closed, poorly ven ti lat ed areas. En gine exhaust
con tains carbon mon ox ide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffl er during or
immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact with
hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
Risk of property damage. NEVER pull water supply hose to move
pres sure washer. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
• DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
• NEVER turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or damage to
pump will result.
• DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump operates in
bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left in bypass mode
for more than two minutes internal components of the pump can be damaged.
If you do not understand these precautions, please call 1-800-888-2468 to speak to a
service representative for further instructions.
NOTE: For every 7 gallons
of water pumped 1 gallon of
chemical/cleaning solution will be
used.
3. Set multi-adjustable nozzle to
low pressure setting. See How
To Use Wand paragraph in this
section.
4. After use of chemicals, place
chemical hose into container
of clean water and draw
clean water through chemical
injection system to rinse
system thoroughly. If chemicals
remain in the pump it could be
damaged. Pumps damaged due
to chemicals will not be covered
under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not
siphon when spray wand is in the high
pressure setting.
