High Altitude Operation - Black Max BM80544 Manual Del Operador

RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Remove the soap nozzle and place in the nozzle storage
area.
 Select the right nozzle for the job. See the chart shown
earlier in the manual to select the appropriate nozzle.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
USING PUMP PROTECTOR
See Figure 19.
Regular use of a commercially available pump protector
prolongs the life of the pressure washer by removing hard
water mineral deposits, lubricating pump seals and pistons,
and preventing freeze damage. Pump protector should be
added to the unit after every use and before storage. Pump
protector can be purchased at the retailer where you pur-
chased your pressure washer, or by calling customer service.
The instructions that follow are typical for adding pump pro-
tector but you should always verify the specific instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.
 Turn off the pressure washer engine and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Disconnect garden hose and high pressure hose.
 Unscrew threaded top from pump protector bottle and
remove paper seal from bottle. Reinstall top on bottle and
tighten securely.
NOTE: The rubber seal should remain inside the threaded
top. If it comes out, be sure to replace before reinstalling
the top.
OPERATION
 Remove bottle cap and attach threaded end of bottle
securely to pressure washer pump water intake.
 Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.
 With engine switch off, pull starter grip and rope to cycle
pump, then squeeze bottle again to guarantee complete
coverage.
 Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump
outlet.
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 20.
NOTE: Never lift or carry this product using the handle and
never place the unit in any position other than upright on
its wheels.
 Turn the pressure washer off.
 Tilt the machine toward you slightly until it balances on
the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position.
Do not tilt forward or sideways when moving.
 DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling on any of
the hoses.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

Your engine is configured for operation below 2,000 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for
operation above 2,000 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade per-
formance, and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured
for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard
altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure
that your engine is properly configured for your location.
