. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" before starting the unit.
. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
. With the gun locked in the "OFF" position, point the trigger gun away from
yourself or anyone else. Ensure water supply is turned completely on.
4. Disengage the safety lock-off on the gun and squeeze the trigger. Low
pressure water will begin flowing from the nozzle.
5. Before starting the unit, brace yourself as the gun will kick-back from the high
pressure created by the pump once the unit has started.
6. Move the On/Off Switch to the "ON" position. This switch includes a circuit
breaker for protection of the motor. In case of excess load, the circuit breaker
will automatically move the switch to the "OFF" position. To restart, move the
On/Off Switch to the "ON" position again.
. Once the unit is turned on, perform the following procedures with the gun
open:
a. Inspect for system water leaks and oil leaks. If an oil leak is found, TURN
UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced
and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the
unit. If you require service, contact your John Deere dealer.
b. Inspect high pressure hose for kinking cuts and leaks. If a cut or leak
is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT CUT OR LEAK!!! TURN UNIT
OFF IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose before re-starting the unit. See
"Miscellaneous Safety Precautions”. Be sure that all damaged parts are
replaced and that the mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation
of the unit. If you require service, contact your John Deere dealer.
c. Inspect electrical cord for cuts. If a cut is found, DO NOT TOUCH OR
USE ELECTRICAL CORD! Replace cord before starting the unit.
8. Trigger the gun several times and try adjusting the spray pattern. Be certain
to LOCK the trigger gun in the "OFF" position whenever moving the adjustable
nozzle. NEVER look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a
risk of severe injury!
9. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple
rule can cause premature failure of pump packing seals, resulting in costly
pump repair.
0. Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray and a variety
of spray patterns, there are many cleaning jobs that can be done without
the use of detergents. If a cleaning agent is required, see "Cleaning With
Detergents" for the correct procedures.
