FEATURES
KNOW YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
RECOIL STARTER
The recoil starter is used (along with the on/off switch) to
start the power washer.
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety rules.
SPRAY WAND
The spray wand has a round assist handle that provides
added control of the spray wand and helps reduce fatigue.
ACCESSORIES STORAGE
Safely stores accessories (not included) within easy reach.
STORAGE BRACKET
DETERGENT BUCKET
Once the high pressure hose is rolled, hang it on the
storage bracket for convenient storage.
The removable detergent bucket holds up to two gallons of
detergent. Position the injection hose in the slot closest to
the spray wand storage.
SUBARU® ENGINE
CHOKE
This 7 HP engine enables the pressure washer to achieve
3,000 PSI and 2.7 gallons per minute.
Using the choke makes starting the engine easier. Close the
choke for starting a cold engine. The choke lever needs to be
half opened or fully opened when starting a warm engine.
THERMAL RELIEF VALVE
This pump safety feature will prevent water temperatures
from reaching harmful levels by releasing a small amount of
water from a rubber hose. Once the water has drained to
the ground, the thermal relief valve will reset itself.
FUEL VALVE
The fuel valve must be open to start the engine and should
always be closed for before storing the machine.
TRIGGER WITH LOCK OUT
FUEL TANK
Pulling the trigger releases a stream of water for high
pressure cleaning. The lock out provides protection against
unauthorized use.
This fuel tank has a maximum capacity of 3.8 quarts (or
3.6 liters). Use unleaded automotive gasoline in the
engine.
ON/OFF SWITCH
Located on the side of the motor, the motor won’t start until
the switch is in the ON ( l ) position.

OPERATION
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
TO MOVE THE MACHINE
See Figure 17.
nLoosen the pivot knob located halfway down the spray
wand storage pipe.
nGrasp the handle at the rear of the pressure washer. Turn
the top section of the pressure washer until it is fully ex-
tended as shown in figure 17. Retighten the pivot knob.
nGrasp the moving handle and lift the machine off the
resting foot. Roll the machine to the desired position.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 17.
Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before placing the
storage handle in the “store” position. Store machine in a
dry, covered area where the weather can’t damage it.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figure 18.
Use only soaps designed for pressure washers; household
detergents can damage the pump. Many detergents require
mixing prior to use. Follow manufacturer’s instructions on
the solution bottle. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed
on the solution bottle.
TO STORE THE MACHINE
nPlace the injection hose in the bottom of the detergent
bucket.
nCarefully pour the cleaning solution into the bucket taking
care not to splash the solution.
nInstall the black nozzle on the spray wand.
nSpray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
the detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
nPlace the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.
nFlush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the
spray wand).
nShut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve pressure
in the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the machine, shut
off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and discon-

Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Fig. 19
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
nLift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.
nWash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
nRinse and squeeze to dry.
WARNING:
nPut small amount of 30 wt. motor oil on the filter sponge.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Squeeze out the excess oil then reinstall the air filter.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
nReinstall the cover.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should
be replaced at a Ryobi Authorized Service Center.
