Once you have completed the PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST on pg. 16, you
are ready for operation. The following steps will help you operate your machine
safely.

flusHinG tHe system:

1. This unit has a steel coil which, after setting, will cause the water remaining
in the coil from the previous usage to turn brown or black. This water must
be flushed from the system before start-up. This procedure should be
performed without the gun installed.

b. Move the control switch to the "PUMP" position to start the pumping
unit.

a. Inspect for system water and oil leaks.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for leaks. If a leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH
HOSE AT LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose
before using the unit. See "Risk of Injection" warnings, pg. 7. Be sure
that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems
are corrected prior to operation of the unit.
6. At this point, the unit is operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger
the gun several times. NEVER place hand or fingers in front of the nozzle
or look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe
injury!
7. Your pressure washer can deliver high pressure spray using cold water. If you
wish to use the hot water or steam application; or cleaning with detergents,
see pg. 22 for the correct procedures.
