2. Mounting Orientation: This pump is designed for horizontal mounting. The oil cap must point upwards. The pump head cannot be flipped.

6. Oil Filling: Before first use, fill the pump with 75 ml (2.5 oz) of 85W-90 gear oil. Use the sight glass to verify the correct oil level. The oil is NOT included.
7. Connections:
   • Connect a standard garden hose to the inlet connection.
   • Connect your pressure washer hose to the 22mm male outlet connection.
   • If using a quick-connect system, the brass outlet tube MUST be removed before attaching the quick-connect fitting.
8. Shipping Cap: Remove the yellow shipping cap from the oil tank after installation. This cap is for shipping purposes only.

7. Operating Instructions

1. Check Oil Level: Before each use, ensure the pump oil level is correct using the sight glass.
2. Water Supply: Connect the garden hose to a reliable water source and turn on the water fully.
3. Purge Air: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to purge air from the pump and hose until a steady stream of water emerges.
4. Start Engine: Start the pressure washer engine according to its manufacturer's instructions.
5. Operation: Begin cleaning. The integrated chemical injector allows for detergent application when needed.
6. After Use: Turn off the engine, turn off the water supply, and squeeze the spray gun trigger to relieve any remaining pressure in the system.

Note on Oil Cap: During operation, some oil misting may occur from the oil tank opening. If desired, a small hole can be drilled into the yellow shipping cap (after removing it for initial use) and then re-installed to allow ventilation while minimizing misting.

8. Maintenance

• Oil Changes: Regularly check the oil level using the sight glass. Change the 85W-90 gear oil as recommended by your pressure washer's engine manual or after extended use. A drain plug is provided for simplified oil changes.
• Filter Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
• Storage: When storing the pressure washer for extended periods or in freezing temperatures, ensure the pump is drained of all water or treated with a pump protector to prevent damage. Store in a dry, protected area.
• Thermal Release Valve: The thermal release valve is pre-installed and designed to protect the pump from overheating. Ensure it is not obstructed.

9. Troubleshooting

• Low Pressure:
  • Check for adequate water supply and ensure the garden hose is fully open.
  • Inspect the inlet filter for clogs.
  • Check the spray nozzle for wear or obstruction.
  • Ensure the unloader valve is functioning correctly and not stuck.
• Water Leaks:
  • Inspect all hose connections and fittings for tightness.
  • Check O-rings and seals for damage and replace if necessary.
• No Water Flow:
  • Verify the water supply is on and the hose is not kinked.
  • Check for air in the system; prime the pump by running water through it with the engine off until all air is expelled.
• Pump Not Engaging / Engine Stalling:
  • Ensure the engine is running at the correct RPM.
  • Confirm the engine has sufficient horsepower (minimum 5 HP) to drive the pump.
