surfaces in vehicles or trailers.
approved container. Always place pres-
sure washer on a protective mat when
transporting to protect against damage
to vehicle from leaks. Remove pressure
washer from vehicle immediately upon
arrival at your destination.
The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of caus-
ing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto
striping and trim, and 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 the spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream
except for very strong surfaces like concrete and steel.
Operating without flow of water will result in equipment damage. Operating the pres-
sure washer with water supply shutoff will void your warranty. You should never run
this pressure washer for more than 2 minutes without pulling the trigger to allow cool
water to enter the pump and the heated (recirculated) water to exit.

GPM: Gallons Per Minute. The unit
of measure for the flow rate of water
through the pressure washer.
CU: Cleaning Units. GPM multiplied
by PSI.
Bypass Mode: In Bypass Mode, the
pump is recirculating water because
the trigger of the spray gun is not
pulled. If unit is left in bypass mode
for more than two (2) minutes, the
water temperature will rise to a dan-
gerous level and can damage internal
components of the pump.Any dam-
age to pump due to these causes will
not be covered under warranty.
TO ADJUST PRESSURE
The pressure setting is preset at the
factory to achieve optimum pressure
and cleaning. If you need to lower the
pressure, it can be accomplished by
these methods.
1. Back away from the surface to be
cleaned. The further away you
are, the less the pressure will be
on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Reduce the speed of the gaso-
line engine (RPM). Slow the
engine down and the water pres-
sure will go down with it.

pump. Immediately after this occurs,
the valve will close.
Chemical Injection: Feeds cleaning
agents into the pump to mix with the
pressurized water and help in clean-
ing.
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.
DO NOT try to turn

knob past the built-in stop or dam-
age to pump will result.
TO USE WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with up to five spray nozzles. Each
nozzle is color coded and delivers a
specific spray pattern for a particular
cleaning purpose. The size of the
nozzle determines the size of the fan
spray and the pressure out of the
nozzle. The 0º, 15º , 25º, and 40º
nozzles are high pressure nozzles.
The chemical nozzle is a low pressure
nozzle.
