The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve op ti mum pres-
sure and cleaning. To lower the pres sure, follow these instructions.
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. Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less
powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to
Spray Wand Nozzles.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher
pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.
3. Reduce the speed of the gasoline engine (RPM). Slow the
engine down and the water pressure will go down with it.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the pressure washer
instruction manual and the engine instruction manual before starting
pressure washer.
DANGER: 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 fluid pressures and velocities high

tings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries.
DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
WARNING: Risk of fire, asphyxiation and burning. NEVER fill fuel
tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel
tank.
  fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" (12.7 mm) below
bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any
fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

 DO NOT let hoses come in contact with very hot engine
muffler during or immediately after use of your pressure
washer. Damage to hoses from contact with hot engine
surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.
CAUTION: 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.
  turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is
running or damage to pump will result.
 DO NOT stop spraying water for more than
T
two minutes at a time. Pump operates in
bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not
pressed. When the temperature inside the
pump rises too high the thermal relief valve (T)
will open and release a gush of water in an
effort to lower the temperature inside the pump.
The thermal relief valve will then close. If pump is left in bypass
mode for more than two minutes internal components of the
pump can be damaged.
START-UP PROCEDURE
1. In a well-ventilated outdoor area, add fresh, high-quality, unleaded
gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Do not overfill.
Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine. Refer to engine
instruction manual for correct procedure.
2. Check engine oil level. Refer to the engine instruction manual for
correct procedure.
3. Connect the water hose to the water source. Turn the water source
on to remove all air from the hose. When a steady stream of water
is present, turn the water source off.

5. Connect the cold water source (V) to pump inlet.
NOTE: Water source must provide a minimum of
5 gallons per minute at 20 PSI (138 kPa).
WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contami-
nation always protect against backflow when con-
nected to a potable water system.
6. Connect high-pressure hose (P) to pump

13. WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Pull starter grip slowly
until resistance is felt. Then pull starter grip (I) rapidly to avoid
kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it gently
by hand.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. If engine does not start
after two pulls, squeeze trigger of gun to relieve pump pressure. Pull
starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to
avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
NOTE: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start.
If the engine does not start, check the oil level and add oil as
needed.
14. As the engine warms up, move the choke to
the OPEN position.
15. Depress trigger on gun to start water flow.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Stand

The manufacturer recommends using a pump protector/winter-
izer, such as D
eWALT winterizer (DP80) when storing the unit
for more than 30 days and/or when freezing temperatures are
expected. D
eWALT winterizer (DP80) is availabe at the store
where the pressure washer was purchased. If a pump protector/
winterizer is not available, RV antifreeze can be used as outlined in
the following steps.
NOTE: Using a pump protector/ winterizer or RV antifreeze helps to
provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of the pump regard-
less of temperature or environment.
1. Obtain a funnel, 6 oz. (170 mL) of RV antifreeze and 16–36"
(40–91cm) of garden hose with a male hose connector attached
to one end.

the water. Refer to Chemicals and Cleaning Solvents.
Chemical injection system: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents
with water to improve cleaning effectiveness.
Choke control: Opens and closes carburetor choke valve.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI. (GPM x PSI = CU)
Fuel valve lever: Opens/closes connection between fuel tank and
carburetor.
GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of
water.
PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pres-
sure. Also used for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.
kPa (kilopascal): Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal
1000 pascals.
Quick-connect spray wand: Allows the user to quickly change out
high-pressure nozzles. Refer to Spray Wand Nozzles.
Thermal relief valve: When the temperature inside the pump rises
too high the valve will open and release a gush of water in an
effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve will
then close.
Water supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water.
The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI (138
kPa) and 5 gallons per minute.
