PRIMING THE PUMP:

1. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water

supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.

2. Lay the high pressure hose out to remove any loops. Water flow will constrict

the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.

3. Securely connect the gun assembly to the high pressure hose.

NOTE: The nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly at

this time. (See Nozzle Connection" pg. 11)

4. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, turn the water supply

completely on. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and

squeeze the trigger.

5. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly. This allows

the unit to prime and purge any air from the system. The unit is primed when

water flow is uninterrupted by air.

6. Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the "OFF"

position. Securely connect the nozzle assy. (See "Nozzle Connection"

pg. 11)

START-UP:

1. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.

2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings. (2,6,7,8,9)

3. With the gun locked in the "OFF" position, point the trigger gun away from

yourself or anyone else. Ensure water supply is turned completely on.

4. Disengage the safety lock-off on the gun and squeeze the trigger. Low

pressure water will begin flowing from the nozzle. Before starting the unit, brace

yourself as the gun will kick-back from the high pressure created by the pump

once the unit has started.

5. Move the On/Off Switch to the "ON" position. This switch includes a circuit

breaker for protection of the motor. In case of excess load, the circuit breaker

will automatically move the switch to the "OFF" position. To restart, move the

On/Off Switch to the "ON" position again.

6. Once the unit is turned on, perform the following procedures with the gun open:

a. Inspect for system water leaks and oil leaks.

If an oil leak is found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY!

Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the

mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit.

If you require service, contact Nilfisk-Advance Customer Service.

b. Inspect high pressure hose for kinking cuts and leaks.

If a cut or leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT CUT OR

LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY!

SPRAY

Replace hose before re-starting the unit. See "Miscellaneous

Safety Precautions #6, pg. 6. Be sure that all damaged parts are

replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to

operation of the unit. If you require service, contact Nilfisk-Advance Service.

c. Inspect electrical cord for cuts.

If a cut is found, DO NOT TOUCH OR USE ELECTRICAL CORD!

Replace cord before starting the unit.

7. Trigger the gun several times and try adjusting the spray pattern. Be certain

to LOCK the trigger gun in the "OFF" position whenever moving the adjustable

nozzle. NEVER look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a

risk of severe injury!

8. Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray and a variety

of spray patterns, there are many cleaning jobs that can be done without the

use of detergents. If a cleaning agent is required, see "Cleaning With

Detergents" pg. 15 for the correct procedures.
