After Each Use
Water should not remain in the unit for long periods of time.
Sediments or minerals can deposit on pump parts and freeze
pump action. Follow these procedures after every use:
1. Shut off engine, turn off water supply, point gun in a
safe direction, press red button and squeeze trigger to
relieve trapped pressure, and let engine cool.
2. Disconnect hoses from spray gun and high pressure
outlet on pump and hose reel. Drain water from hoses,
spray gun, and nozzle extension. Use a rag to wipe off
the hose.
3. Empty pump of all pumped liquids by pulling recoil
handle about six times. This should remove most liquid
in pump.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
5. If storing for more than 30 days, see Long Term
Storage on next page.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers,
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
WARNING
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.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when
engine is stopped and water is disconnected,
which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hoses connected to pump, hose reel and
spray gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button and
squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time
you stop engine.
