The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing damage to surfaces such as: wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray. Avoid the use of the concentrated spray stream except for very strong surfaces like concrete and steel.

∙Operating unit with the water supply shut-off will result in equipment damage. Operating the pressure washer with water supply shut-off will void your warranty.

∙You should never run your pressure washer for more than 2 minutes without pulling the trigger. Pulling the trigger allows cool water to enter the pump and maintains a normal operating temperature.

Read Owner’s Manual. Do not operate equipment until you have read Operation Manual for Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions. Damage caused by incorrect operation will not be covered under warranty.

Preparing Pressure Pump:

The pressure pump has a shipping plug inserted into the opening for the pump breather plug.

Failure to remove shipping plug and replace it with the breather plug will cause permanent damage and void warranty.

1.Remove the shipping plug, using a 17mm open-end spanner(Discard shipping plug)

2.Remove pump breather plug from parts bag and insert it into pressure pump.

3.Tighten pump breather plug securely by hand. Do not use a spanner or socket to tighten

4.Check sight glass to ensure pump oil is full, (half way up the sight glass).

5.If low, add oil to pump.

Recommended oil types:

∙Use SAE 10W/30 or 15W/40 Non detergent oil, SF, SG,SH, SJ, or higher.

9

Refueling Recommendations:

1.Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

2.Avoid the generator stopping by running out of fuel, power variations will occur.

∙Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

∙Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.

∙Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely. Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.

∙Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Fuel type

Only use regular unleaded fuel. The fuel should be fresh, filtered cleanly and care taken not to let any dust or water enter the fuel tank. Otherwise the filters and carburetor may be blocked or damaged.

Oxygenated Fuels

Some gasoline’s are blended with alcohol or an ether compound to increase the octane. These types of gasoline are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. Some areas use oxygenated fuels to help meet clean air standards. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure its pump octane rating is 86 or higher.

Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol)

Gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting or performance problems. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.

11

Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol)

Gasoline containing methanol must contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems and may damage metal, rubber and plastic parts of your fuel system.

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether)

You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume. Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states (provinces in Canada) require this information to be posted on the pump. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, switch to a conventional unleaded gasoline. Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel are not our responsibility and are not covered under warranty.

Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause

engine damage. Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging

is misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited Warranty does not cover parts

damaged by misuse.

High Altitude Operation

∙At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

∙High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at altitudes higher than 5000 feet (1500 meters) above sea level, have an authorized pressure washer dealer perform this carburetor modification.

∙Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 1000 foot (300 meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

If a engine jetted for high altitude is used at a lower altitude, the lean air fuel mixture will reduce performance and may over-heat and seriously damage

the engine.

BEFORE USE

Attaching High Pressure Hose to Spray Gun

∙Pull slip ring on female quick-disconnect fitting of high pressure hose back.

∙Insert male quick-disconnect fitting on spray gun into female fitting on high pressure hose.

∙Release slip ring on female quick-disconnect and twist. Listen for “click” to ensure both quick-disconnects are coupled.

∙Pull high pressure hose and spray gun in opposite directions to ensure they do not separate.

Connecting Lance to Spray Gun

∙Thread lance on to spray gun.

Connect Hose and Water Supply to Pump

∙Attach high pressure hose to the high pressure outlet on pump as per attaching High pressure hose to spray gun. Be sure to pull on hose to be sure of tight connection.

∙Before connecting garden hose to water inlet, inspect the inlet screen. Clean screen if it contains debris or have it replaced if damaged. DO NOT run pressure washer if inlet screen is damaged.

∙Run water through your garden hose for 30 seconds to clean out debris before connecting.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT siphon standing water for the water supply. Water supply must be at 20psi, failure to do so will cause the pump to run dry and damage will occur voiding warranty.

Use cold water only (less then 50 Degrees Celsius).

∙Connect the garden hose (not to exceed 16 meters in length and with the ID no less then 13mm) to the water inlet. Tighten by hand.

∙Turn ON the water, squeeze the trigger to purge the pump system of air and impurities.

NOTICE

DO NOT attempt to crank or start engine, before it has been properly serviced and had the recommended oil added.

-There MUST be at least 3meters of unrestricted garden hose between the pressure washer inlet and any device, such as a vacuum breaker or check valve.

-Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

13

Getting Started:

Risk of eye injury.

Spray can splash back or propel objects.

-Always wear safety goggles when using this equipment or in vicinity of where equipment is in use.

-Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are wearing adequate safety goggles.

-Never substitute safety glasses for safety goggles.

PRE START CHECKLIST

∙Once you reach this point ensure you have done the following:

∙All safety instructions read and understood

∙All hose connections are tightened and hoses free of kinks

∙Adequate amounts of lubrication and fuel have been added to the engine & pump drive, breath plug fitted to pump.

∙Water source connected and turned on; Note: cold water only

∙All operation instructions read and understood

*Pump oiled at factory – Replace transport plug with breather.

Preparation before starting:

∙Add SAE 30 oil (SAE 10W30 multigrade for cold climates) to the engine (1100ml) Note: There will be a residual amount of oil in the engine from factory testing

∙Check the engine has an adequate fuel supply (unleaded, regular gasoline)

∙Make sure that the work area has sufficient ventilation

∙Ensure the ignition cable is secured to the spark plug

∙Ensure water supply is turned on

1.Turn the fuel cock to the on position

2.Move the engine switch to the “on” position

3.Move the choke lever to the on position

ONOFF

TO START:

4.Pull the trigger gun lever, to prevent pressure build up within the pump while starting. For safety reasons ensure the nozzle is removed whenever starting the unit. Note * Failure to open the trigger valve while starting, may overload the recoil starter causing damage to the mechanism.

5.Engage the recoil starter by pulling the rope handle out 25 to 50mm (1 to 2”).

6.Then deliver a short sharp pull to crank the engine over. In general most units will fire and start on choke after two or three pulls. Do not let rope “snap back” against

starter.

7.Reduce choke as the engine warms up. The choke should be completely off after 2 or 3 minutes.

14

SHUT OFF PROCEDURE:

1.Release spray gun trigger and let engine idle for two minutes

2.Move the engine stop switch to the “stop” position. The engine will stop immediately.

3.Turn water supply off.

4.Turn Fuel Tap off.

5.Always point spray gun in safe direction, pull trigger to release retained high water pressure before undoing hose and trigger from pump.

The spray gun and hose traps high water pressure even when engine is stopped and water disconnected.

HIGH PRESSURE OPERATION:

Never pull the hose to move the unit. This could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

Never allow pump to run with water hose turned off or kinked. Shutting off the water supply to the pump while it is operating may cause serious pump damage.

Do not let hoses contact HOT engine muffler during or immediately after use, as this will damage the hose.

Interchangeable Nozzles :

∙Pull back the quick connect lock ring, firmly insert the desired nozzle and then release the lock ring.

∙Make sure the spray nozzle is properly locked in place with its quick coupler, if the collar is not (Forward) in the locking position, the nozzle may become a dangerous projectile. The O-ring from your quick coupler socket may also be blown out of place.

To prevent damage to your surface to be cleaned always start with lowest pressure nozzle size (white) and continue changing to the higher nozzle size until the best work result is achieved.

Pressure washer produces fluid pressures and velocity high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh which could result in series injury or amputation. DO NOT point pressure washer in direction of people or animals. High velocity fluid spray

can cause objects to break, propelling particles at high speeds.

15

Explanation:

0° nozzle setting – A pinpoint stream. This nozzle stream is very powerful and covers a very small area of cleaning. Only to be used on surfaces that can withstand this high pressure (metal or concrete).

15° to 25° nozzle setting – Used for less powerful stream which can cover a wider area. This nozzle setting is also very powerful and should only be used on surfaces that can withstand this high pressure.

40°nozzle setting – Used for the least powerful stream and covers a wide area of cleaning. This nozzle setting should be used for most general cleaning jobs.

Pressure Adjustment:

The maximum working pressure is pre-set at the factory and can not be overridden. By turning the pressure adjustment knob anti-clockwise you can reduce both the pressure and water volume being supplied from the pump.

Low Pressure Detergent Operation:

The Black Tip – will lower the pressure and allow chemical to be drawn through the downstream chemical injector.

∙Change the high pressure nozzle for the Detergent (Black) Nozzle. (Be sure the quick coupler is fully engaged before pulling the trigger)

∙The chemical injector will only work when this (black) nozzle is used.

∙Push the ¼” clear plastic hose to the inlet barb o f the chemical injector located near the high pressure hose connection (item 8, page 2).

∙Insert the loose end of the detergent pick up hose into the desired chemical.

Be sure to flush the injection system with clean water after use.

∙Place the chemical injector hose in a bucket of clean water and operate for one minute.

Rinsing Pressure:

Pressure Washer Rinsing

∙Remove black spray tip from lance.

∙Select & install desired high pressure spray tip following instructions in High Pressure Operation section of this manual.

∙Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to spray.

∙Increase or decreases spray pressure by turning the Pressure Adjustment Knob, clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to decrease. Use lower pressure to wash items such as a car or boat. Use higher pressure to strip paint and degrease driveways.

∙Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then check surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue rinsing.

∙Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as used for cleaning.

Thermal Relief Valve:

During normal operation, the cold water from your water supply passes through the inside of the pressure pump allowing the pump to maintain a normal operating temperature. When you let go of the trigger, the pump enters by-pass mode and re-circulates water within the pump.

If the unit is left in the by-pass mode for more than two (2) minutes, the water temperature may rise to a dangerous level causing cavitation and possible damage to internal components of the pump. As a safe guard against damage from overheating, pumps are equipped with a thermal relief valve. This safety valve will open when the internal water temperature becomes too high, once cool the valve will close again automatically.

Do not attempt to run hot water into the pump or allow your unit to operate in the by-pass mode for long periods of time (2 minutes max), as overheating of the pump will cause component damage.

17

MAINTENANCE:

WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO HOT SURFACES, WATER PRESSURE, MOVING PARTS, OR FIRE WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN COMPLETELY AND RELEASE ALL WATER PRESSURE. THE ENGINE CONTAINS FLAMMABLE FUEL. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR OPEN FLAMES WHILE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.

Nozzle cleaning:

If the nozzle becomes clogged with foreign material, such as sand, flow will cease or become restricted. Clean the nozzle immediately using the nozzle cleaner supplied and the following instructions:

∙Shut off the pressure washer and turn off the water supply.

∙Pull trigger on gun handle to relieve any built up water pressure.

∙Remove the nozzle from the lance assembly.

∙Turn the nozzle end up.

∙The nozzle hole is approximately 1mm in diameter, it is the smallest hole in the system, even a single grain of sand can block the nozzle.

∙Clean the nozzle using the nozzle cleaner provided or wire of appropriate size. Insert into the nozzle end and push. Remember that any obstruction will have been lodged in place under very high pressure and may require an equal amount of force in the opposite direction to dislodge it.

∙It is important that you see the obstruction come out of the lance, otherwise the nozzle may block again.

∙Reconnect nozzle to lance and turn on water supply.

∙Recommence operation.

Water Inlet Screen Cleaning:

The water inlet filter screen should be checked periodically and cleaned whenever necessary.

1.Remove the water inlet hose connection to expose the inlet filter.

2.Remove the filter screen and flush with clean water from both sides.

3.Replace the cleaned filter screen into the water inlet connector.

4.Tighten securely (clockwise)

Do not operate the pressure washer without a water inlet filter installed.

Check High Pressure Hose:

The high pressure hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking or abuse. Inspect the hose each time before using it. Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover, damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

∙Never repair high pressure hose. Replace it.

∙Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure rating of unit.

18

PUMP OIL MAINTENANCE:

CHANGING PUMP OIL

Change oil after first 50 hours of operation and then every 200 hours or 3 months, which ever occurs first. Note: When changing pump oil, use only high quality non-detergent SAE30 oil. Use no special additives.

CHANGE PUMP OIL AS FOLLOWS:

∙Clean area around brass oil drain plug at bottom of pump.

∙Remove oil drain plug. Drain oil completely into approved container.

∙When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug and tighten firmly.

∙Clean area around pump breather plug. Remove breather and fill pump with 600ml of recommended oil. Make sure it shows halfway on sight glass, add more if necessary.

∙Wipe up any spilled oil.

Used motor oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.

LONG-TERM STORAGE:

Before you store the pressure washer, make sure you do the following:

1.Remove fuel from engine or add fuel stabilizer, such as “Sta-Bil” to the gasoline to prevent gumming, and operate unit normally for five minutes.

2.If adding stabilizer, connect water supply and high pressure hose to pump.

3.Ensure water supply is turned on, start pressure washer and depress gun trigger to avoid running the unit in the “by-pass mode.”

5.Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug. Pour one teaspoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Place a rag over spark plug hole and pull rope slowly several times to lubricate cylinder, replace spark plug and lead.

6.Protect the high pressure hose, gun and wand from damage (such as being stepped on or run over).

TO PREVENT INTERNAL CORROSION OR FREEZING:

Items needed: 100cm piece of garden hose or equivalent and antifreeze (approximately 200 mℓ.)

1.To winterize the pressure pump, prevent the engine from starting by disconnecting the spark plug wire from the engine and remove high pressure hose from the pump. Add automotive antifreeze corrosion inhibitor through the water inlet, place the garden hose direct into the anti freeze container. Pull engine rope several times until antifreeze comes out of high pressure outlet connector. You have now displaced the water in the pump with corrosion inhibitor.

2.Remove all water from high pressure hose, gun, and wand. To do so, disassemble high pressure hose from gun. Drain all water from hose. Hold gun/wand assembly in a vertical position with the nozzle pointing down, and pull gun trigger to remove any water.
