OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRIMING THE PUMP:

1. It is essential to prime the pump on initial start-up and each time the water
supply is disconnected from the unit after initial use.
2. Lay the high pressure hose out to remove any loops. (Water flow will tighten
the hose, creating tight loops if the hose is not straight.)
3. Securely connect the gun assembly to the high pressure hose. (NOTE: The
nozzle assembly should NOT be connected to the gun assembly at this time.
See "Nozzle Connection", pg. 11)
4. With the trigger gun locked in the "OFF" position, turn the water supply
completely on. Pointing the gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and
squeeze the trigger.
5. Low pressure water will begin flowing from the hose/gun assembly. This
allows the unit to prime and purge any air from the system. The unit is primed
when water flow is uninterrupted by air.
6. Once the unit is primed, release the trigger and lock the gun in the "OFF"
position. Securely screw connect the nozzle assembly to the gun assembly,
(see "Nozzle Connection", pg. 11).

START-UP:

1. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-7 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. With the gun locked in the "OFF" position, Point the trigger gun away from
yourself or anyone else. Ensure the water supply is completely turned on.
4. Disengage the safety lock-off on the gun and squeeze the trigger. Low
pressure water will begin flowing from the nozzle.
5. BE CERTAIN the trigger gun remains in an open position while starting
the engine. Brace yourself as the gun will kickback from the high pressure
created by the pump once the engine has started.
6. Put your foot on the frame or wheel to steady the unit during engine start-up.
(Refer to the engine manual accompanying this pressure washer for the correct
procedures needed to start the engine.)
7. Once the engine has started, perform the following procedures with the gun
open:
a. Inspect for system oil leaks and fuel leaks.
If a fuel leak is found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY!
See "Fire & Ventilation Precautions", #2 and #4, pg. 4.
Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the
mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit.
If you require service, contact Mi-T-M Customer Service.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks.
If a cut or leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH HOSE AT LEAK!!!
TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY!
restarting the unit. See "Miscellaneous Safety Precautions" #6,
pg. 6. Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the
mechanical problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit.
If you require service, contact Mi-T-M Customer Service.
8. Trigger the gun several times. Be certain to LOCK the trigger gun in the
"OFF" position whenever changing the spray pattern nozzles. NEVER look
directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe injury!
9. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple rule
can cause premature failure of pump packing seals, resulting in costly pump
repair.
10. Because your pressure washer delivers a high pressure spray, there are many
cleaning jobs that can be done without the use of detergents. If a cleaning agent
is required, see "Cleaning With Detergents" pg. 15 for the correct procedures.
