Secure the pump to the engine using the provided hardened bolts and washers. Apply anti-seize compound to bolts for easier future removal.
2. Installing the Unloader Valve
The unloader valve regulates pressure. Install it onto the designated port on the pump manifold.
3. Replacing the Breathing Valve
Replace the red shipping plug with the yellow air breath valve for proper pump ventilation during operation.
4. Connecting Hoses
- Connect a standard 3/4" NH garden hose to the pump's inlet. Ensure the water supply is clean and free of debris.
- Connect your pressure washer hose to the 3/8" quick-connect outlet.
- If using chemical injection, connect the provided chemical hose to the designated port.
Operating Instructions
1. Priming the Pump
Before starting the engine, ensure the water supply is turned on and water flows through the pump and out of the pressure washer gun to remove any air. This prevents damage to the pump.
2. Starting the Engine
Follow your pressure washer engine's manufacturer instructions for starting. Once the engine is running, the pump will begin to pressurize the water.
3. Adjusting Pressure
The pump features an adjustable unloader valve to control the output pressure. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease pressure as needed for your cleaning task.
4. Using Nozzle Tips
Select the appropriate nozzle tip for your cleaning application. Different colored tips provide varying spray patterns and pressures. Always ensure the nozzle is securely attached before operating.
Maintenance
1. Oil Level Monitoring
The pump is equipped with a visual oil level monitoring window. Regularly check the oil level to ensure it is within the recommended range. The pump is pre-sealed with oil from the factory.
2. Oil Change
Use SAE 15W-40 engine oil for the pump. Change the oil every 50 hours of running time to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
3. General Care
- After each use, flush the pump with clean water to remove any chemical residues.
- Store the pump in a dry, frost-free environment. Use pump protector/antifreeze if storing in cold conditions.
- Regularly inspect hoses and connections for wear or leaks. Replace damaged components immediately.
