INSTALLATION DIRECT DRIVE PUMPS
- Install the shaft key into the keyway and apply a light coating of anti-seize on the engine shaft.
- Align the two key ways and push the pump completely onto the engine.
- Install all bolts and tighten evenly.
- Remove protection cap of outlet and unloader valve.
- Install the appropriate water inlet fitting (3/4"-11.5 NH).
- Connect the water supply hose and outlet (M22x1.5-14 Hose or adapter) and high-pressure discharge hose/spray gun.
- Turn on the water supply.
- Open the spray gun to purge the system of any air.
- Start the engine.
- Adjust the engine speed at rated 3,400 RPM will get best performance.
- Open gun trigger check if pump is working well and installation and connection are all good.
NOTE: Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
- The pump is designed to pump non-flammable or non-explosive fluids. These pumps are intended to pump clean filtered water only.
- Do not operate in or around an explosive environment.
- Always wear safety glasses or goggles and appropriate clothing.
- Do not allow children to operate the pump.
- Never point the high-pressure discharge at a person, any part of the body or animals.
- Do not operate gasoline engines in a confined area and always have adequate ventilation.
- Do not exceed the pump specifications in speed or pressure.
- Do not alter the pump from the manufacturers design.

TIPS: When your engine shaft length is longer from the engine flange (PTO) to the shaft end, when you set up the engine shaft and pump, you will find the gap between the pump boss and the engine bottom or flange. Then you need to put the washer into the gap, between your original engine flange and pump boss, then screw up the bolt for some engines, need washers for all three pump bosses.
OPERATION TIPS
Water Supply:
- Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can cause excess pump wear and reduce performance.
- An insufficient water supply will damage your pump. Make sure the water supply is steady and is 20% over the rated flow of your pump. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to fill a 5-gallon bucket with your garden hose.
- The water supply garden hose must have an inside diameter of at least 5/8". If the hose is more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least 3/4".
- Never use a reservoir tank as a water source. Drawing water out of a tank may cause pump cavitation and damage to your pump. This pressure washer is designed for a pressurized water source such as a city water faucet. However, the water source pressure must not exceed 115 psi (8 bar). Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water supply. Do not use rigid piping.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Symptom | Possible Cause(s) | Corrective Action |
Low Pressure | Worn nozzle | Replace nozzle, of proper size |
Belt slippage | Tighten or replace; use correct belt | |
Air leak in inlet plumbing | Disassemble, reseal and reassemble | |
Relief valve studk, partially plugged or improperly adjusted valve seat worn | Clean, adjust relief valve; check for worn and dirty valve seats. Kit available | |
Inlet suction strainer clogged or improperly sized | Clean. Use adequate size. Check more frequently | |
Worn packing. Abrasives in pumped fluid or severe cavitation. Inadequate water | Install proper filter. Suction at inlet manifold must be limited to lifting less than 20 feet of water or -8.5 PSI vacuum | |
Fouled or dirty inlet or discharge valves | Clean inlet and discharge valve assemblies | |
Oil leak between crankcase and pumping section | Worn rod oil seals | Replace crankcase piston rod seals |
Frequent or premature failure of the packing | Cracked, damaged or worn plunger | Replace plungers |
Pump runs but produces no flow | Overpressure to inlet manifold | Reduce inlet pressure |
Pump fails to prime | Material in the fluid being pumped | Install proper filtration on pump inlet plumbing |
Pump looses prime, chattering noise, pressure fluctuates | Excessive pressure and/or temperature of fluid being pumped | Check pressures and fluid inlet temperature; be sure they are within specified range |
Pump is not primed | Do not run pump without water | |
Air is trapped inside pump | Flood suction then restart pump | |
Air leak in suction hose or inlet | Disconnect discharge hose from pump. Flood suction hose, restart pump and run pump until all air has been evacuated | |
Clogged suction strainer | Remove suction line and inspect it for a loose liner or debris lodged in hose. Avoid all unnecessary bends. Do not kink hose | |
Unloader valve is by-passing properly | Clean strainer | |
Incorrect or worn nozzle | Make sure unloader is adjusted properly and by-pass seat is not leaking | |
Valves worn or blocked by foreign bodies | Make sure nozzle is matched to the flow and pressure of the pump. If the nozzle is worn, replace | |
Pressure gauge fluctuates | Worn packing or valves | Replace packing or valves |
Pump runs extremely rough, pressure very low | Valves worn or blocked by foreign bodies | Clean or replace valves |
Slight leak, oil leaking in the area of crankshaft | Packing worn | Replace packing |
Water leakage from under manifold | Worn crankshaft seal or improperly installed oil seal o-ring | Clean out foreign material |
Loud knocking noise in pump | Stuck inlet or discharge valve | Replace worn valves |
Water in crankcase | Bad bearing | Replace bearing |
Humid air condensing into water inside the crankcase | Change oil intervals | |
Worn packing and/or cracked plunger | Replace packing. Replace plunger | |
Excessive play in the end of the crankshaft | Worn main bearing from excessive tension on drive pulley belt | Replace crankcase bearing and/or tension drive belt |
Cavitation or sucking air | Pulley loose on crankshaft | Check key and tighten set screw |
Broken or worn bearing | Replace bearing |
