DAMAGE WHEN TRANSPORTING  
OR STORING  
WHAT CAN HAPPEN  
HOW TO PREVENT IT  
• If pressure washer is equipped with a  
fuel shut-off valve, turn the valve to the  
off position before transporting to avoid  
fuel leaks. If pressure washer is not  
equipped with a fuel shut-off valve, drain  
the fuel from tank before transporting.  
Only transport fuel in an OSHA  
• Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could  
result in fire or breathing hazard, serious  
injury or death can result. Fuel or oil  
leaks will damage carpet, paint or other  
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.

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch. The  
unit of measure for water pressure.  
Also used for air pressure, hydraulic  
pressure, etc.  
D25115  
10- ENG  
 
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.  
3. Adjust the

the temperature inside the pump  
rises too high. This valve will then  
release a gush of water in an effort to  
lower the temperature inside the  
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  
pressure regulator  
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.  
HOW TO USE  
IMPORTANT: Read and understand  
how to use the pressure washer  
before operating.  
D25115  
11- ENG  
 
The nozzles are  
housed in receptacles  
on the panel of the  
pressure washer han-  
dle. Colors on the  
panel identify nozzle  
location and spray  
pattern.  
40º nozzle - White. This nozzle  
delivers a 40 degree spray pattern  
and a less powerful stream of water.  
It covers a wide area of cleaning.  
This nozzle should be used for most  
general cleaning jobs.  
Risk of injection or  
injury to person. Do  
not direct discharge stream toward  
persons, unprotected skin, eyes, or  
any pets or animals. Serious injury  
can occur.  
0º nozzle - Red. This nozzle delivers  
a pinpoint stream and is extremely  
powerful. It covers a very small area  
of cleaning. This nozzle should only  
be used on surfaces that can with-  
stand this high pressure such as  
metal or concrete. Do not use on  
wood.  
Chemical nozzle - Black. This noz-  
zle is used to apply chemicals or  
cleaning solutions. It has the least  
powerful stream.  
Changing Nozzles  
DO NOT attempt  
to change nozzles  
while pressure washer is running.  
Turn engine off before changing  
nozzles.  
15º nozzle - Yellow. This nozzle  
delivers a powerful 15 degree spray  
pattern for intense cleaning of small  
areas. This nozzle should only be  
used on areas that can withstand the  
high pressure from this nozzle.  
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
