• Grasp starter handle and pull slowly until you feel

some resistance. Then pull cord rapidly to
overcome compression, prevent kickback and start

the engine. Let rope return to starter slowly.

Note: The Pressure Command'^“ may be placed in

any position during starting or operation.

• When engine starts, move choke lever to “1/2

CHOKE” until engine runs smoothly and then to
“NO CHOKE POSITION.” If engine falters, move
choke lever to “1/2 CHOKE” until engine runs
smoothly and then to “NO CHOKE POSITION.”

Note: If the engine falls to start after 3 pulls, move

choke lever to “NO CHOKE POSITION” and pull
starter rope again.

Note: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to “FULL CHOKE” and repeat *
starting instructions.

• Once the engine has started, disengage the spray

gun safety latch.

HOW TO STOP YOUR PRESSURE

WASHER

Important: Do not run pump without the water supply

connected and turned on. You must follow this caution

or the pump wilt be damaged.

• Move the Run/Stop switch to the “0” or OFF

position.

■ Simply shutting off the engine will not release

pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the

spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.

Note: A small amount of water will squirt out when
you release the pressure.

• Rotate the Dial-A-Cieaner™ selector knob to the

OFF position to prevent chemical leakage.

SIPHONING

We recommend that you DO NOT siphon standing
water for your water supply. Contaminated, brackish or
dirty water can damage the pump. Connect only to
household water supply.

TIPS

• Never use the garden hose inlet to siphon

detergent or wax.

• If you hold the spray nozzle too far away from the

object being cleaned, washing will not be as
effective.

• Always store the cleaning system with the Dial-A-

Cleaner™ selector knob at the OFF position.
