T9051EBF Pressure Washer Operating Instructions
 

(1)     Check oil level before operating pump, sight glass in front of pump should be half full of sae-30 motor oil.

(2)     Check filter screen in female hose fitting at suction of pump before connecting filler hose. The pump should never be used without a filter screen. Debris in the pump can clog valves or even break pistons or connecting rods.

(3)     Connect hose at discharge of pump only hand tight (do not use pliers or wrench on it) this fitting works with o-rings and will tighten itself when pressure is applied.

(4)     If you want to decrease pressure turn the knob on top of the unloader counter clockwise (-). To increase pressure clockwise (+)

(5)     Pump soap injector will only work at low pressure so the soap is not blown off the material being cleaned. To do this, turn the soap sprayer at the tip of the handle lance, or if you have an adjustable tip pull it out to spray soap. Turning the red knob at the injector, clockwise for less and counter clockwise for more to meter the soap flow.

(6)     The motor attached to this pump has a manual overload that can trip occasionally, if the pump will not start and does not have any sign of power you may have to reset this. It is located at the rear end of the motor either behind the lead box or on the side of the motor behind the lead box.

(7)     The pump is now ready to use. REMEMBER this pump creates 1,000 P.S.I. at 2.1 GPM and never should be aimed at a person or serious injury can occur!

(8)     Always release pressure from discharge line before trying to remove discharge hose from fitting.
