GENERAL PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY
DANGER – High-Pressure Spray
NEVER point the gun at yourself, anyone else, or animals.
The high-pressure water stream can cut through clothing, skin and underlying
tissues leading to serious injury.
If this type of injury occurs, DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT. SEEK
EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If you are using
cleaning detergents, be prepared to tell the physician exactly what kind.
Spray guns can have signicant kickback. ALWAYS brace yourself and have
rm footing when operating.
NEVER attempt to repair high-pressure hose, ttings or gun. Always replace
parts if they are leaking or damaged.
NEVER bypass the trigger assembly. This is an important safety feature of the
system.

Use CAUTION even when the machine has been turned o. Pressure can be
trapped in the pump and hose assembly and still inict injury or damage. After
turning the machine o, always squeeze the trigger to release any trapped
pressure.
ALWAYS ensure all component connections and ttings are securely fastened.
High-pressure water can turn loose ttings or spray nozzles into projectiles
causing injury or damage.
NEVER look directly into the gun or high-pressure hose.
NEVER place your hand in front of the spray nozzle to test pressure.
DANGER – ELECTROCUTION
NEVER spray near electric power source or cords.
NEVER let run-o water pool and ow into power sources or cords.
WARNING – GENERAL SAFETY
ONLY use cold water to feed into the machine. Unless specically instructed
that the machine can use hot water.
Check the work area to make sure it is clear of hazards and debris which can
be thrown by pressure spray causing injuries or damage.
ALWAYS be aware of surfaces that will become wet and may become
slippery.
ALWAYS have a secure grip of the gun and stable footing.
6www.bepowerequipment.com
ALWAYS ensure proper drainage to avoid water ooding into unwanted areas.
NEVER operate machinery that is damaged or missing components.
NEVER modify the machine in any way.
DO NOT move the machine by pulling on the hoses or cords. Instead, use the
handle on the frame to move the machine when needed.
Use CAUTION when spraying soft materials such as plants or wood because
the high-pressure spray can damage them quickly.
Use CAUTION when spraying brittle materials such as glass, that may break
apart, creating dangerous projectiles.
Use only recommended accessories. DO NOT force or modify parts to t.
ALWAYS turn o the engine and disconnect the spark plug for any
maintenance procedures.
NEVER attempt to maintain the machine while it is operating. Moving parts
and pressure can cause serious injuries.
Keep machine out of the rain and elements.
ALWAYS operate the machine on a level surface. It may seize if operated at
an angle.
WARNING – CHEMICAL DETERGENTS/SOAPS
ALWAYS use detergents explicity designed for a pressure washer.
NEVER use any ammable, corrosive or acidic solutions.
NEVER modify the chemical injector system.
ALWAYS ush the system after using a detergent. Run the machine for
at least two minutes with clean water to prevent detergent from drying and
building up residue. If residue builds up, it may cause the chemical injector
system to fail.
ALWAYS BE PREPARED for an emergency involving detergents. Know
exactly what the detergent contains. If an emergency occurs and a physician
needs this information, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available and should be
easily accessible.
ALWAYS keep detergents away from children and animals.
Keep an eyewash kit available in case of emergency.
GAS ENGINE SAFETY
If your pressure washer has a gas engine, the engine will have it’s own manual.
Thoroughly review and understand the engine manual.
DANGER – TOXIC FUMES
ALWAYS operate the machine outdoors in well-ventilated spaces.
The emissions from the engine include the poisonous gas carbon monoxide.
It is a colorless, odorless gas that will displace oxygen and be lethal in high
enough concentrations.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, fatigue,
dizziness, nausea, confusion, vomiting, and seizures. If poisoning continues,
unconsciousness and death will occur.
At the rst sign of any symptoms, IMMEDIATELY shut o the machine and
move into a well-ventilated area and seek medical attention.
Carbon monoxide is heavier than atmospheric air and will ll in low spaces
rst. Use EXTREME CAUTION when operating in low spaces such as
trenches, tunnels or ditches.
NEVER position the machine where the exhaust can go through windows,
doors, ventilation or other access points that lead indoors or to conned areas.
NEVER use a respirator as protection against carbon monoxide. The ONLY
protection that can be relied on is a positive pressure fresh air supply system,
such as a SCUBA system.

SAFETY OVERVIEW
DANGER – FUEL RELATED FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS
Fuel and its vapors are highly ammable and explosive.
Fire and explosion can cause severe burns and death.
NEVER ll the fuel tank while the unit is running.
ALWAYS turn the engine o and let it cool at least two minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen the fuel cap slowly to relieve tank pressure.
ALWAYS ll or drain the fuel tank outdoors.
DO NOT overll the tank. Leave an airspace in the neck of the fuel tank to
allow it to breathe and for fuel expansion.
NEVER have any spark or ame near the fuel, including cigarettes, open
ame, pilot lights and other ignition sources.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates completely. Move the unit to a new location,
then wait at least two minutes before starting the engine.
NEVER crank the engine with the spark plug removed and still in its boot.
When transporting or putting the unit into storage, drain the fuel tank and
carburetor and store the fuel in an airtight container. Then, move the fuel valve
into the closed position.
Never store fuel near any ignition source or hot surface.
CAUTION – HOT SURFACES
The muer on the engine will heat up rapidly and can cause severe burns if
touched.
Muer exhaust will be hot and can cause burns to people and objects.
Keep ammables away from the muer.
Keep at least a ve-foot clearance from the exhaust to prevent damaging other
surfaces such as house siding and vehicles.
The pump will also become hot during operation and should be avoided.
After the pressure washer has been started, DO NOT touch any part of the
pressure washer other than the on/o switch, handle, hose and gun.
CAUTION – RECOIL KICKBACK
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily injury.
Kickback can pull your hand and arm back towards the engine faster than you
can let go causing sprains, cuts, bruising and bone fractures.
NEVER pull the starter cord without rst relieving the spray gun pressure.
When starting an engine, the best practice is to have the trigger squeezed to
prevent pressure from building up in the system.
Pull the starter cord until you feel resistance. Allow the cord to retract back and
then pull the starter to avoid kickback and injury.
ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER SAFETY
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
NEVER spray an electric pressure washer, its cord, or power source.
NEVER leave the machine exposed to rain or the elements.
NEVER modify the plug or cord.
NEVER use an adapter so the plug will t into a dierent outlet.
NEVER touch the cord or plug with wet hands or when standing in water.
ALWAYS replace damaged components, including plug and cord. DO NOT
attempt to repair.
ALWAYS ensure power source matches the pressure washers’ requirements.
ALWAYS use a licensed electrician if any electrical work needs to be done.
ALWAYS unplug the motor from the power source before attempting repairs or
maintenance.

SAFETY OVERVIEW
DANGER – GROUNDING
This product must be grounded. If this machine malfunctions, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of
electrocution.
Ensure the plug has all three prongs it came with and is plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is grounded in accordance with local regulations.
If your machine is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), DO
NOT remove or alter it. Replace if damaged.
If the GFCI is dropped or damaged, be certain to test it to make sure it is still
working correctly.
WARNING – EXTENSION CORDS
The use of extension cords is not recommended.
If the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, then it must be plugged into a
GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles
ALWAYS use a 3-wire extension cord that has three prongs for proper
grounding.
DO NOT yank or pull on extension cords.
ALWAYS replace if damaged.
The extension cord gauge MUST be adequate for the power demands of the
pressure washer to prevent stalling, overheating or short-circuiting.
BATTERY – WHERE APPLICABLE
NEVER use a battery that is cracked or shows other signs of visible damage.
ALWAYS connecct postive lead to positive terminal, and negative lead to
negative terminal. NEVER cross-wire.
The engine is equipped with an alternator and will charge the battery during
operation. If recharging battery with an auxillary charger it is your responsiblity
to use the appropriate equipment and settings.
NEVER operate when battery is wet. Avoid contact with water when not in use.
Do not tamper with battery, alter it anyway, or try to open it up.

PRESSURE WASHER
COOLING SYSTEM
DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR MACHINE
Do not let your machine overheat. Failure to do so will result in damage, void
warranty, or cause injury.
Gas engines and electric motors are air-cooled. Always ensure that the machine
is operated in a well-ventilated area where it can draw a steady supply of fresh
air. If the motor overheats, it may shut down, rapidly burn oil, and result in
component failure. The arrows below show an example of locations for air intake
on an engine.
Pumps are cooled on the front end by having fresh water run into the pump,
then spray out of the gun wand. To maintain the water flow, keep the trigger of
the gun depressed to keep spraying out water. Do not let the machine run for
more than 30 seconds without pressing down on the trigger. If the pump is left to
overheat (not spraying water), it may experience thermal shock when cold water
is introduced to the system once water is sprayed out again. This thermal shock
can result in multiple component failures.
Most pumps are protected by a thermal valve. The thermal valve releases
water if a pump starts to run too hot. It will prevent catastrophic heat failure.
However, the pump may have suffered damage and need maintenance, repair, or
replacement. The thermal valve will need to be replaced once it is triggered.
The back end of the pump is cooled by maintaining the proper level and quality of
pump oil. Always check the oil level on the back of the pump by using the dipstick
or sight gauge. Use 30w non-detergent oil if it needs to be added or replaced.

FUEL AND OIL TYPES
ENGINE FUEL TYPE
Use only regular unleaded gasoline rated at 86 octane or higher. The best fuel
to use will have a 0% ethanol blend. However, the engine can use a fuel with an
ethanol blend of up to 10%.
ENGINE OIL TYPE
Use only SAE 10W30 motor oil for the engine. To check the oil, unscrew the
engine dipstick. Then, wipe off the oil with a clean rag and dip it back into the
engine. The oil should be well within the oil level markings.
Note* the engine will have two oil caps. Only one will have a dipstick.
PUMP OIL TYPE
For pressure washer pumps, use only SAE 30W non-detergent oil. Never use
motor oil in your pressure washer pump because it will destroy the seals.
Never overfill the pump.
If your pump has a sight glass, then ll halfway up to the middle of the red dot.
If your pump has a dipstick, then ll to the mark on the dipstick.
If your pump doesn’t have a sight glass or dipstick, then it is a sealed unit, and
the owner doesn’t have to be concerned with maintaining the pump oil.

PRE-OPERATION
1. Before operating the pressure washer, ensure you are familiar with all the
warnings and safety recommendations.
2. Wear proper clothing and eye protection.
3. Always setup the machine where:
3.1 It is on a level surface. If the machine is not level, it may not start or cause
failures.
3.2 There is sucient ventilation.
3.3 There are no signs of oil or gas leaks, including gas vapors.
3.4 The machine is not exposed to rain, snow or freezing temperatures. These
harsh conditions can lead to component failure causing damage or injury.
4. Ensure that oil levels for the engine and pump are correct.
4.1 Use 10W30 oil to ll the engine if needed.
4.2 Use 30W non-detergent oil to ll the pump if needed.
5. If the pump has an oil cap dipstick, make sure it is the breathing oil cap
instead of the sealed travel oil cap. If the sealed travel oil cap is left in, the
pump will over pressurize and blow it out.
6. Inspect the overall condition of the unit. Make sure there are no fuel or oil
leaks or damaged parts. If any leaks or damaged parts are detected DO NOT
start the pressure washer until it is xed.
7. Connect the high-pressure hose to the pump and the gun wand assembly to
the other end of the hose.
8. Connect the garden hose to the pump.
8.1 Ensure the inlet lter on the pump is present, intact, and clean before
connecting the garden hose.
WATER SUPPLY MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPLY THE PUMP
ADEQUATELY.
Every pressure washer has a Gallons Per Minute (GPM)/ Liters Per Minute (LPM)
rating that must be adhered to. If the pump does not get enough water, it will
cavitate (starve for water). This will cause internal damage and pending failure.
To measure your water source GPM/ LPM, you will need a container that you
know the exact size such as a 5-gallon/20-Liter bucket. When you’re ready, start
lling it from your water source while timing it for one minute. The amount of
water in the 5-gallon/20-liter bucket after one minute is the GPM/LPM rating.
The water source GPM/ LPM should exceed the GPM/ LPM rating of the machine
by one GPM/ LPM to account for any uctuations from the water source.
The water source should have 20 to 60 PSI/1.38 to 4.1 BAR pressure going into
the pump. Do not use a hose longer than 50ft/15m to the water source.
PRIME THE PUMP WITH WATER
Once all the hoses are connected, turn on your water supply and hold down the
spray gun’s trigger. Let water ow through it until all the air bubbles are worked
through, and there is a constant stream of water coming out the nozzle.
Insert the color spray nozzle that you plan to use. Make sure the nozzle is clean
with no damage or blockages.

GAS ENGINE START PROCEDURE SET UP
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Use regular unleaded, 86 octane or higher that
has no more than 10% ethanol blend.
2. Do not overll the fuel tank. Always leave a space to allow the tank to breathe
and the fuel to expand.
3. Set to full throttle. The lever will be all the way LEFT on all models except the
Honda GC which will have the lever all the way UP.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position which is all the way to the RIGHT on all
models except the Vanguard and Honda GC which do not have a separate
fuel valve.
5. Activate the choke if the engine is cold. Move the choke lever to the LEFT on all
models except the Honda GC where the choke tab is pulled OUT.
