DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Spilled fuel and its vapours can become ignited from cigarette sparks, electrical arcing, exhaust gases and hot engine components such as the muffler. Shut off engine and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. Use care in filling tank to avoid spilling fuel. Move pressure washer away from fuelling area before starting engine.
Heat will expand fuel in the tank, which could result in spillage and possible fire explosion. Keep maximum fuel level 1/2" (12.7 mm) below bottom of filler neck to allow for expansion.
Operating the pressure washer in an explosive environment could result in a fire. Operate and fuel equipment in well-ventilated areas free from obstructions. Equip areas with fire extinguisher suitable for petrol fires. Never operate pressure washer in an area containing dry brush or weeds.
Materials placed against or near the pressure washer can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials. Always keep pressure washer a minimum of 1.2m away from surfaces (such as houses, automobiles or live plants) that could be damaged from muffler exhaust heat.
Muffler exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt any material sensitive to heat (such as siding, plastic, rubber, vinyl or the pressure hose, itself), and damage live plants. Store fuel in an approved container, in a secure location away from work area.
Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of children or other unqualified persons. Do not spray flammable liquids.
Use of acids, toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisons, insecticides, or any kind of flammable solvent with this product could result in serious injury or death. Do not spray flammable liquids.

DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas such as garages, basements, etc. Never operate unit in or near a location occupied by humans or animals.

Some cleaning fluids contain substances which could cause injury to skin, eyes or lungs.

Use only cleaning fluids specifically recommended for high pressure washers. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Do not use chlorine bleach or any other corrosive compound.

DANGER: RISK OF FLUID INJECTION AND LACERATION

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Your pressure washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh which could result in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician immediately! Inspect the high pressure hose regularly. Replace the hose immediately if it is damaged, worn, has melted from contacting the engine, or shows any signs of cracks, bubbles, pinholes, or other leakage. Never grasp a high pressure hose that is leaking or damaged. Never touch, grasp or attempt to cover a pinhole or similar water leak on the high pressure hose. The stream of water IS under high pressure and WILL penetrate skin. Never place hands in front of nozzle. Direct spray away from self and others. Make sure hose and fittings are tightened and in good condition. Never hold onto the hose or fittings during operation. Do not allow hose to contact muffler. Never attach or remove wand or hose fittings while system is pressurised. When using replacement lances or guns with this pressure washer, DO NOT use a lance and/or lance/gun combination that is shorter in length than what was provided with this pressure washer as measured from the nozzle end of the lance to the gun trigger.
Injuries can result if system pressure is not reduced before attempting maintenance or disassembly. To relieve system pressure, shut off engine, turn off water supply and pull gun trigger until water stops flowing. Use only accessories rated equal to or higher than the rating of the pressure washer.

DANGER: RISK OF INJURY FROM SPRAY

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

Operation

Pressure Washer Terminology

WARNING: Do not allow the unit to run for more than two minutes without the gun trigger being pulled. This could cause overheating and damage to the pump. When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, the thermal relief valve will open and release a spray of water from the pump to lower the internal temperature. The valve will then close.

Thermal Relief Valve (P, Fig. 5): When the temperature inside the pump rises too high, this valve will open and release a gush of water in an effort to lower the temperature inside the pump. The valve will then close. NOTE: Thermal relief valve location will vary depending on the pump type.

Detergent Injection System: Mixes cleaners or cleaning solvents with the water to improve cleaning effectiveness.

Water Supply: All pressure washers must have a source of water. The minimum requirements for a water supply are 20 PSI and 9 Litres Per Minute. If your water source is a well, the garden hose length can only be 9 m max.

WARNING: To reduce the possibility of contamination always protect against backflow when connected to a potable water system.

Pressure Washer Operating Features

Pressure Adjustments (FIG. 6)

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. Change to the 40° nozzle (white). This nozzle delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to How To Use Spray Wand.
  3. (if equipped) This pressure washer's high pressure pump is equipped with an additional feature that allows the pressure setting to be adjusted. To lower the pressure, turn the pressure control knob on the pump counterclockwise to the desired pressure. To return the pump pressure to the factory setting, turn the pressure control knob on the pump clockwise until it stops.
  4. NOTICE: DO NOT overtighten the pressure control knob, if overtightened the knob COULD break and result in immediate loss of water pressure and costly repairs to the unit.

Dial-N-Wash Adjustment (FIG. 7, 8) (IF EQUIPPED)

  1. Choose the correct high pressure nozzle (0°, 15° or 40°) for the job to be performed. Refer to How To Use Spray Wand.
  2. The Dial-N-Wash is shipped in the MAX pressure setting, the MAX pressure bar is aligned with the arrow (R) on the collar as shown in Figure 7. Rotating the Dial-N-Wash (Q) counterclockwise until it stops places it in the MIN pressure setting, the arrow (R) will align with the MIN pressure bar as shown in Figure 8.

Adjust the pressure by rotating the Dial-N-Wash (Q) clockwise for higher pressure or counterclockwise for lower pressure, aligning the arrow with the desired pressure bar on the Dial-N-Wash.

NOTE: To apply chemicals the black low pressure nozzle must be installed and the Dial-N-Wash must be in the MAX pressure setting.

How to Use Spray Wand

The nozzles for the spray wand are stored in the nozzle holder on the panel assembly. Colors on the panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern. Refer to the following chart to choose the correct nozzle for the job to be performed.
