To start your pressure washer for the first time, follow these instructions step-by-step. This starting information also applies if you have let the pressure washer sit idle for at least a day. Place pressure washer near an outside water source capable of supplying water at a flow rate greater than 3. 0 gallons per minute and no less than 20 PSI at pressure washer end of garden hose. Check that high pressure hose is tightly connected to spray gun and to pump. Turn ON water, point gun in a safe direction and squeeze trigger to purge pump system of air and impurities. DO NOT place pressure washer where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure. Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury when gun kicks back. The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury. Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized. ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine. NOTE: Always keep the throttle lever in the "Fast" position when operating the pressure washer. You now should know how to START your pressure washer and how to STOP it. The information in this section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern and to apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals. A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
