3. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to prepare your pressure washer for first use:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in the manual are present.
2. Handle Assembly: Attach the handle to the main frame. Secure with provided hardware.
3. Add Engine Oil: Fill the engine crankcase with the recommended type and amount of engine oil (refer to engine manual for specifics). Do not overfill.
4. Add Fuel: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. Do not use E85 or other ethanol blends not approved for small engines. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened.
5. Connect Water Supply: Attach a garden hose (minimum 5/8 inch diameter) to the water inlet on the pump. Ensure the water supply is clean and free of debris. Turn on the water supply fully.
6. Connect High-Pressure Hose: Connect one end of the high-pressure hose to the pump's high-pressure outlet and the other end to the spray gun. Tighten all connections securely.
7. Attach Spray Wand: Attach the spray wand to the spray gun. Select the desired quick-connect nozzle and insert it into the end of the wand until it clicks into place.
8. Purge Air from System: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow water to flow through the pump and hose, purging any air from the system. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges.

4. Operating Instructions

Once setup is complete, follow these steps to operate your pressure washer:

1. Engine Start-up:
   • Ensure the water supply is fully on and air is purged from the system.
   • Set the engine switch to the "ON" position.
   • Move the choke lever to the "FULL CHOKE" position (if engine is cold).
   • Move the throttle lever to the "FAST" position.
   • Pull the recoil starter handle firmly until the engine starts.
   • Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
2. Using Spray Nozzles:

   The pressure washer comes with various quick-connect nozzles for different applications:

   • 0 Degree (Red): Pin-point stream for intense cleaning of small, tough spots. Use with extreme caution.
   • 15 Degree (Yellow): Narrow, high-pressure spray for stubborn stains on hard surfaces.
   • 25 Degree (Green): Medium-angle spray for general cleaning of most surfaces.
   • 40 Degree (White): Wide-angle spray for gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces or large areas.
   • 65 Degree (Black/Blue): Low-pressure chemical nozzle for applying detergents.

   Always change nozzles with the engine off and the spray gun pointed in a safe direction.

3. Cleaning Techniques:

   Start with a lower pressure nozzle and work your way up if needed. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface to avoid damage. For detergent application, use the low-pressure nozzle and follow detergent manufacturer instructions.
