Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start my pressure
washer?
1 . Make sure you have gas and oil in the engine . The
engine DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL.
2 . Turn the water on, then trigger the gun to make
sure the water will flow smoothly out of the tip .
3 . Open the fuel shutoff valve by turning the knob
counterclockwise until it stops .
4. Close the choke (if engine is cold) by moving the
choke ring fully to the right .
5 . Set the shut off switch to “ON .”
6 . Pull the trigger (to relieve any back pressure in the
pump) while pulling the starter cord .
What type of oil do I use?
ENGINE DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL: See Page 10 for
engine oil types, quantities, and oil changing instructions .
Pump: The pump comes filled with the correct amount of
oil and should not need changing or filling .
Why don’t I have any water
pressure?
• Is the water hose attached to the pressure washer?
• Is the water turned on?
• Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the hoses,
fittings, or the nozzle .
• Is the 15º (yellow) spray tip inserted into the end of
the lance (See Page 8)?
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and
remove debris if needed .
How do I get high pressure?
• For high pressure, insert the 15º (yellow) spray tip
into the end of the lance (See Page 8) .
How do I get the soap suction to
work?
1 . Attach clear plastic tube to barb on pump (see Figure
2 on page 5) .
2 . Put the other filter end of the clear tube into the
detergent container .
3 . Install the black spray tip to apply low pressure
detergent .
Why doesn’t the pressure
washer apply detergents with
high pressure?
Detergents “bounce” off cleaning surfaces as fast as they
are applied . The pressure washer’s features allow for a
detergent to be drawn while in low pressure mode only . By
applying detergent at low pressure, the effect of “bouncing”
is reduced . Also, detergents are only effective when time is
allowed for them to work on the surface of whatever is being
cleaned . After applying the detergent, wait 1-3 minutes
while it works, and then proceed to rinse the surface with
high pressure .
What maintenance do I need to
perform on my pressure washer?
1 . After turning off the pressure washer and the water,
depressurize the hose by triggering the gun .
2 . Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose
from the pump .
3 . Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge water
from the pump . This will help protect the pump from
damage .
4 . Do not store your pressure washer in an area where
the temperature will drop below 32˚ F .
5 . Follow proper storage and winterizing instructions
found on page 9 .
