General Precautions
The following safety precautions apply whenever using, storing, or servicing your
pressure washer to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
Overlooking or ignoring these precautions can lead to personal injury or product
damage.
• Read this manual carefully. Know your equipment. Consider applications, potential
hazards and limitations for your unit.
• This equipment is designed for specific applications. Do not modify or use for any
application other than which it is designed for.
• Store the pressure washer in a well ventilated area with the fuel tank empty. Fuel
should not be stored near the pressure washer.
• Never operate pressure washer under these conditions:
a. A noticeable change in engine speed.
b. A noticeable loss of pressure.
c. Engine misfires.
d. Smoke or flames are present.
e. Enclosed area.
f. Excessive vibration.
g. Rain or bad weather.
• Water spray must never be directed towards people, pets, electric wiring, or directly
towards the pressure washer.
• Do not allow the hose to come in contact with the hot muffler
• Equipment must be placed on a firm supporting surface.
• Remove the spark plug or cable from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting
when not in use, or prior to detaching the high pressure hose.

Owner’s Manual
General Precautions (cont’d)
• Keep the pressure washer clean and free of oil, mud and other foreign matter.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that may be caught in the engine.
• Never direct spray at people or animals.
• Never allow children to operate pressure washer at any time.
• Use both hands to control the wand.
• Do not touch the nozzle or water spray while operating.
• Wear safety goggles while operating.
• Only approved hoses and nozzles should be used.
• Do not kink the high pressure hose.
• All hose connections must be properly sealed.
• In extremely cold conditions, prior to starting be sure ice has not formed in any part of
the pressure washer.
• Use only recommended chemicals.
• Outdoor use only.
• Place pressure washer away from cleaning site during operation.
• To prevent accidental discharge, the spray gun should be secured by locking the
trigger when not in use.

Owner’s Manual
General Precautions (cont’d)
• Do not touch hot muffler.
• Service, operate and refuel under the following conditions:
a. Good ventilation
b. Refuel the pressure washer in a well lit area.
c. Avoid fuel spills and never refuel while the pressure washer is running.
d. Avoid any ignition source when refueling.
e. Use lead free fuel with a minimum of 85 octane.
• Do not smoke near pressure washer.
• Do not operate under 40º fahrenheit.
Safety Features
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
A thermal relief valve is provided to protect the pump from overheating if the spray gun is
closed for an extended amount of time or the nozzle becomes plugged. However, it is
intended to be used as a backup system and every effort should be made to not permit the
pump to heat up.
We recommend to turn the pressure washer OFF if it will not be used for more than 5
minutes. This saves wear on the unit, reduces fuel consumption and extends the life
of the pump by avoiding overheating.
SAFETY LOCK LATCH
To prevent accidental discharge of high pressure water, the safety latch on the trigger
should be engaged whenever the pressure washer is not in use.
LOW-OIL SHUTDOWN
Some engines are equipped with low-oil shutdown systems. If the engine oil level becomes
lower than required, the pressure washer will automatically shut off. Refer to the engine
manual for this feature. This protects your pressure washer engine from operating without
proper lubrication.
If the pressure washer engine shuts off and the oil level is according to specification,
check to see if the pressure washer is sitting on an angle that forces the oil to shift.
Place on even surface to correct this. If the engine fails to start, the oil my not be sufficient
to deactivate the low oil level switch. Be sure the pump oil level is correct.
Pump will overheat and may be damaged,
or cause damage if allowed to circulate
more than 5 minutes

Before Operation
NOTE: The engine and pump on your pressure washer will often have improved
performance after a break-in period of several hours.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the pressure washer, check for loose or missing parts and for any
damage which may have occurred during shipping.
Connections & Start-Up
HOSE & GUN ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Align threaded connections carefully to prevent damaging threads during
assembly. Tighten connections securely to prevent leaks during operation.
LUBRICATION
Do not attempt to start the pressure washer engine without filling the engine crank case
with the proper amount of oil. Your pressure washer has been shipped without oil in the
crankcase. Operating the pressure washer without oil will ruin the engine. Use oil that is
recommended (10W-30). DO NOT OVERFILL!
FUEL
Fill the tank with unleaded gasoline. Regular gasoline may be used provided a high
octane rating is obtained (at least 85 octane).
Wand
Hose
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive
and you can be burned or seriously injured
when refueling if not careful.
Oil Dipstick
Note: this unit has 2 oil fill locations on either end
you can use either one.
Oil

the inlet on the trigger.
