PRODUCT FEATURES AND PRECAUTIONS
NOTICE: Prior to using the pressure washer for the first time, it is IMPORTANT
that it has been determined that there is an adequate water supply.
The Pressure Washer needs TWICE the volume of the stated water
output (1.7 GPM). This Pressure Washer will need 3.4 GPM to oper-
ate correctly and efficiently. If the water is supplied by a well, make
certain that the well produces enough water to keep up with the Pres-
sure Washer’s water demand. FLOW RATE OF THE
WATER SUPPLY MUST NEVER FALL BELOW 3 GPM. Flow rate
can be determined by running the water at full pressure (valve com-
pletely open) for one minute into an empty 5 gallon container, then
measuring the amount of water in the container.
CAUTION! If the pump is run without an adequate water supply, the Pres-
sure Washer will cavitate. Cavitation causes the pump to vibrate
and operate loudly, and will damage the pump.
1. IMPORTANT! Prior to turning on the Pressure Washer connect the unit to the
water supply. Turn on the water and squeeze the Trigger (23A) until water flows
out of the Wash Gun. This removes air from the system and allows the unit to
properly perform.
Failure to follow this Step will damage the Pump.
2. The Pressure Washer features an automatic ON/OFF Micro Switch (27). The
Motor (33) of the Pressure Washer does not run continuously, but only when the
Trigger (23A) is squeezed. When spraying water through the unit stops, the Motor
will automatically shut off.
3. The Pressure Washer features a 3-Prong,
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
Power Plug (59). The GFCI Power Plug pro-
vides additional protection from the risk of
electrical shock. Make sure the Trigger (23A) is
released before plugging in. Plug the GFCI
Power Plug into a grounded, 120 volt, electri-
cal outlet. Press the TEST button and then the
RESET button. The indicator on the Power Plug
should appear red. If the indicator is not red
after several tries, have both the Power Plug
and receptacle inspected by a qualified electri-
cian. Should replacement of the GFCI Power
Plug become necessary, only a qualified tech-
nician should perform the service. Never
attempt to alter or disable the GFCI Power Plug.
