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.

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 (P, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the

P

FIG. 5

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.

fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’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.
