away from electric outlets and switches.
A w a r n i n g
RISK TO FLUID INJECTION
• Your 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!
• Relieve system pressure before attempt­
ing maintenance or disassembly of
equipment.
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 pressurized.
Use only hose and high pressure
accessories rated for 2000 PSI service.
To relieve system pressure, shut off
engine, turn off water supply, and pull gun
trigger until water stops flowing.

GLOSSARY
PSI: Unit of measure, pounds per square inch.
FLOW RATE: This is the amount of water that passes
through your wand. (Usually measured in G.P.M.,
gallons per minute).
PRESSURE WASHER PUMP: Delivers high water
pressure. Pressure washer pump is shipped with oil.
No oil should be added to this pump.
Engine:
Gasoline powered engine drives pump.
Engine is shipped with oil. See Manufacturers Owner's
Manual for oil recommendations.
ACAUTION
Operating unit with water suppiy shut-off
without flow of water will result in
equipment damage.
BYPASS MODE: This pertains to the time that the
pressure washer is running without the trigger on the
gun engaged to spray. You should never run this
pressure washer for more than 2 minutes without
pulling the trigger to allow cool waterto enterthe pump
and the heated (recirculated) waterto exit. Running the
pressure washer with water supply shut-off would void
