AFTER EACH USE
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and
"freeze" pump action. Follow these procedures after every
use:
1. Flush detergent system by turning its detergent shut-off
valve to "Off" position and run pressure washer with
PrecisionSpray™ Selector in a low pressure position.
Flush for one to two minutes.
2. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure and let engine cool.
WARNING: The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause
injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
3. Disconnect hose from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump. Drain water from hose, gun, and spray
tip extension. Use a rag to wipe off the hose.
4. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about 6 times. This should remove most liquid in
pump.
5. Coil high pressure hose on hook provided on handle.
6. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
7. If storing for more than 30 days see Long Term Storage
on next page.
WARNING: Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers, or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.
