OPERATION

PRESSURE WASHER TERMINOLOGY

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The unit of measure for water pressure. Also used

for air pressure, hydraulic pressure, etc.

GPM: Gallons per Minute. The unit of measure for the flow rate of water.

CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied by PSI equals CU.

12- ENG

Bypass Mode: Allows water to re-circulate within the pump when the gun trigger is

not pulled. This feature allows the operator to release the trigger gun and reposition

themselves without having to turn the engine off in between cleaning actions.

WARNING: Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without

the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to

the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal

relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the

internal temperature. The valve will then close.

Thermal Relief Valve (L, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the 5

L

pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of water

in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve will

then close.

Detergent 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. If your water

source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 30ft. (9m) max.

WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect

against backflow when connected to a potable water system.

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. Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less powerful stream

of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to How To Use Spray Wand.

NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting

than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND

The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly.

Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following

chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.

CHANGING NOZZLES ON SPRAY WAND (FIG. 6)

DANGER: Risk of fluid injection. Do not direct discharge stream toward

persons, unprotected skin, eyes or any pets or animals. Serious injury will

occur.

WARNING: Flying objects could cause risk of serious injury. Do not attempt

to change nozzles while pressure washer is running. Turn engine off before

changing nozzles.

1. Pull quick-connect coupler (E) back and insert nozzle (K). 6

KE

2. Release quick-connect coupler and twist nozzle to make

sure it is secure in coupler.

STORAGE

ENGINE

Consult the Engine Owner's Manual for manufacturer’s recommendations for

storage.

TO PREVENT FUEL-RELATED PROBLEMS

1. Add Ethanol ShieldTM (sold separately) fuel stabilizer following the manufactur-

er’s instructions. When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh

gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration

during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it

contains only fresh gasoline.

2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes

to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the

carburetor.

3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of fuel in the carburetor

fuel bowl. Running time should be less than 3 minutes.

PUMP

The manufacturer recommends using SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER® Pump

Guard or equivalent when storing the unit for more than 30 days and/or when

freezing temperatures are expected. SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER® Pump Guard

is environmentally friendly.

NOTE: Using pump guard helps provide proper lubrication to the internal seals of

the pump regardless of temperature or environment.

18- ENG

NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use only SIMPSON® / POWERWASHER®

Pump Guard or equivalent. Other products could be corrosive and/or contain alco-

hol which may cause pump damage.

1. Turn off pressure washer and disconnect hoses from pump.

2. Unscrew bottle valve from Pump Guard bottle and remove seal.

3. Screw bottle valve back onto bottle.

4. Attach bottle to water inlet of pump.

5. Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.

6. With ignition switch off, simultaneously pull starter rope and squeeze bottle.

Repeat until protector fluid exits pump outlet. NOTE: This step may require

two people.

PRESSURE WASHER

1. Drain all water from high pressure hose and wrap it onto hose wrap.

2. Drain all water from the spray gun and wand by holding spray gun in a vertical

position with nozzle end pointing down and squeezing trigger. Store in gun

holder.

3. Wrap up and secure detergent siphon hose so it is protected from damage.
