NOTICE: DO NOT try to tum pressure regulator knob
past the built‑in stop or damage to the pump willresult.
NOTICE: DO NOT overtighten the pressure control knob.
If overtightened the knob COULD break and result in
immediate loss of water pressure and costly repairs to
theunit.
NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A
higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may
damage thepump.

*** NOTICE: The high pressure spray from your pressure
washer is capable of causing damage to surfaces such
as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping and
trim, delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before
spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure yourself
that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force
ofspray.
Changing Nozzles on Spray Wand
(Fig.L)

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 back and insertnozzle.
2. Release quick‑connect coupler and twist nozzle to make
sure it is secure incoupler.

WARNING: Flying object could cause risk of serious
injury. Ensure nozzle is completely inserted in
quick‑connect socket and quick‑ connect collar is fully
engaged (forward) before squeezing guntrigger.
Chemicals and Cleaning Solvents
Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a
low‑pressureoperation.
NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure
washer use. Do not usebleach.
To Apply Chemicals and Solvents
(Fig.M)
1. Press chemical hose
26
onto barbed fitting located
near high pressure hose connection of pump asshown.
2. Place the other end of chemical hose with filter into
the container holding chemical/cleaning solution.
NOTE:For every 10gallons (38 liters) of water pumped
1gallon (3.8 liters) of chemical/cleaning solution will
beused.
3. Install low‑pressure (black) nozzle into quick connect
fitting of spray wand, refer to Spray Wand Nozzles.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if the black
soap nozzle is not installed on the spraywand.
4. After use of chemicals, place chemical hose into
container of clean water and draw clean water through
chemical injection system to rinse system thoroughly
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the pump. Pumps damaged
due to chemicals will not be covered underwarranty.
Starting

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 enough to penetrate human and
animal flesh, which could result in amputation or
other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings
or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A
SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately!

DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine
indoors can kill you in minutes. Engine exhaust
contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO),
a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You
may be breathing CO even if you do not smell
engineexhaust.
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious
injury or death! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadlygas.
