SAFETY

Motors are air cooled. It is important to ensure that machine is operated in a well-

ventilated area where it can draw a steady supply of fresh air. The arrows below show

an example of locations for air intake on an engine.

Pumps are water cooled. When the machine is running, ensure the trigger of the gun

is pressed to allow a constant ow of fresh water into and out of the pump. Do not let

the machine run for more than 30 seconds without pressing down on the trigger.

axial pump

triplex pump

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. If it does not

reset and continues to leak water, the thermal valve may need to be replaced.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and

explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

When Adding or Draining Fuel

• Turn pressure washer OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel

cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overll tank. Always allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition

sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

When Starting Equipment

• Ensure spark plug, mufer, fuel cap, and air cleaner are in place.

• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.

When Operating Equipment

• DO NOT tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.

• DO NOT spray ammable liquids.

When Transporting or Repairing Equipment

• Transport/repair with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shutoff valve OFF.

• Disconnect spark plug wire.

When Storing Fuel or Equipment with Fuel in Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, or other appli-

ances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel

vapors.

SAFETY

10 WWW.BEPOWEREQUIPMENT.COM

WARNING

Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily injury.

Kickback will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can

let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.

• NEVER pull starter cord without rst relieving spray gun pressure.

• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly

to avoid kickback.

• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point spray gun in

safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release pressure.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid

injury when spray gun kicks back.

WARNING

A running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,

poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizzi-

ness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or death.

Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled or ingest-

ed, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

• Operate pressure washer ONLY outdoors.

• Keep exhaust gas from entering a conned area through windows, doors, ventila-

tion intakes, or other openings.

• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if windows and

doors are open.

• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled.

• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will provide the neces-

sary protection against harmful vapors.

SAFETY

WARNING

Risk of electrocution.

Contact with power source can cause electric shock

or burn.

• NEVER spray near a power source.

11

WWW.BEPOWEREQUIPMENT.COM

WARNING

Contact with mufer area can result in serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage

fuel tank causing a re.

• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

• Allow equipment to cool before touching.

• Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of pressure washer including

overhead.

WARNING

Use of pressure washer can create puddles and

slippery surfaces.

Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.

• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.

• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to reduce the pos-

sibility of a fall due to slippery surfaces.

• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffold-

ing, or any other similar location.

• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid

injury when spray gun kicks back.

WARNING

Risk of eye injury.

Spray can splash back or propel objects.

• Always wear safety goggles when using this equipment or in vicinity of where

equipment is in use.

• Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are wearing adequate safety

goggles.

• NEVER substitute safety glasses for safety goggles.

SAFETY

12 WWW.BEPOWEREQUIPMENT.COM

WARNING

Starter and other rotating parts can entangle hands,

hair, clothing, or accessories.

• NEVER operate pressure washer without protective housing or covers.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that may be caught in the starter

or other rotating parts.

• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

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.

• DO NOT allow children to operate the pressure washer.

• NEVER repair the high pressure hose. Replace it.

• NEVER repair leaking connections with sealant of any kind. Replace o-ring or seal.

• NEVER connect high pressure hose to nozzle extension.

• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pres-

surized.

• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release

high pressure every time you stop engine.

• NEVER aim spray gun at people, animals, or plants.

• DO NOT leave spray gun unattended while machine is running.

• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or trigger guard in

place and in working order.

• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles and accessories are correctly attached before

spraying water.

SAFETY

13

WWW.BEPOWEREQUIPMENT.COM

NOTICE

High pressure spray may damage fragile items including glass.

• DO NOT point spray gun at glass when using red 0° spray tip.

• NEVER aim spray gun at plants.

NOTICE

Improper treatment of pressure washer can damage it and shorten its life.

• If you have questions about intended use, contact your nearest authorized dealer,

hose, loose or missing clamps, and damaged tank or cap.

Correct all defects before operating pressure washer.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in re or electric shock.

When Adjusting or Making Repairs to Your Pressure Washer

• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it can-

not contact spark plug.

When Testing for Engine Spark

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

We recommend using fuel with the lowest amount of ethanol possible. 84

octane and up is suitable.

4. Connect and tighten the garden hose to the GHA (garden hose inlet)

connection.

5. Connect high pressure hose to the pump outlet. Connect the other end to

the spray gun.

** Water must be turned on prior to starting the washer, pull the

spray trigger to ensure water is moving the through the lines and out the

nozzle without any leaks before starting the unit.**

6. Review the safety guidelines in the manual prior to starting the unit. If you

have any issues operating the pressure washer, call our customer service

line.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump Before Starting

WARNING

DO NOT start your pressure washer without the water

supply turned on.

• Failure to do so will result in damaging the pump from overheating

and void the warranty.

WARNING

Always check the level of the engine oil prior to starting

the washer. Level should be at about halfway up the sight

glass. If your unit does not have one, use the oil dipstick.

The level should be about halfway up the dipstick.

• Failure to do so could cause the engine to seize if the oil is low or

empty.
