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 Pages 10
and 11 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 adjustable nozzle in the low psi position?
If so, move it into the high psi position (See Pages 8
and 9).
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and
remove debris if needed.
How do I get high pressure?
• For high pressure, move the nozzle into the high psi
position (See Pages 8 and 9).
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. Move the nozzle into the low psi position
(See Page 8).
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 pages 9 and 10.
