STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figures 9 - 12.
NOTICE:
Do not run the pressure washer without water supply
connected and turned on, as this may damage the high
pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Before starting the engine:
 Connect all hoses.
NOTE: Make sure the pressure washer's water intake
screen is in place and unclogged before connecting
garden hose.
 Check all fluids (lubricant and gas).
 Turn on the garden hose then squeeze the trigger to
relieve air pressure; hold the trigger until a steady stream
of water appears.
NOTE: Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.
To start the engine:
 Move the fuel valve to the OPEN position.
 Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
 Move the choke to the START (cold start) position.
NOTE: If restarting after a brief stop (i.e., after refueling
or moving), leave the choke lever in the RUN position.
 Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance is
felt. Give the starter grip a short, brisk pull to start the
engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip and rope to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its original place.
NOTICE:
If the starter grip and rope becomes difficult to pull,
squeeze the trigger to relieve water pressure before at-
tempting to start the engine again.
 Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds, then push the
choke to the RUN position.
