OPERATION

Pressure Washer Location

This pressure washer must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible material. Leave at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides of the pressure washer to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place the pressure washer in a well ventilated area. DO NOT place the pressure washer near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning pressure washer.

Before Starting the Engine

  1. Turn the water supply ON.
  2. Pull the trigger on the trigger gun to purge all air from the pump and hose. This may take several minutes.
  3. Do not start the engine until a steady stream of water is flowing from the nozzle.

CAUTIONNever operate your pressure washer without water.

Starting the Engine

Refer to Honda’s engine owner/operator manual.

Distance from Cleaning Surface

The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning surface is another factor that affects the impact force of the water.The impact force of the water increases as the nozzle is moved closer to the surface. You can vary the impact force by controlling

  • The nozzle’s fan pattern.
  • The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface.
  • The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface.

Never use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a narrow high impactstream or turbo nozzle. Doing so may break the glass.

  1. Before triggering the gun, select a nozzle with a wide fan pattern.
  2. Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 ft. (1.2 m – 1.5 m) away from the cleaning surface. Then hold the nozzle at a 45 degree angle tothe cleaning surface. Trigger the gun.
  3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved withoutdamaging the surface.

Use the following table to determine which nozzle to use.

High Pressure Wash

CAUTION

Always engage the trigger safety latch when the unit is not in use.The trigger safety latch prevents the gun from being triggered accidentally. Push the latch fully down to engage it.

WARNING

Injection hazard.

Fully unwrap and straighten high pressure hose prior to and during each use and do not allow it to become kinked. The high pressure hose features an outer covering that provides strength to the hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, stop using the hose and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged hose can develop a high pressure leak and result in a possible injection or other serious personal injury.

NOTICE

If the starter grip and rope becomes difficult to pull, squeeze the trigger to relieve water pressure before attempting to start the engine again.

For high pressure cleaning, refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more information about which quick connect nozzle to choose.

CAUTION

The narrow high impact spray can damage some surfaces.A wide fan pattern distributes the impact of the water over a larger area resulting in excellent cleaning action with reduced risk of surface damage. Clean large surface areas quickly using a wide fan pattern.

Low Pressure Wash

Detergent UseThe use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Many detergents are customized for pressure washer use on specific cleaning tasks. Pressure washer detergents are as thick as water.

Using thicker detergents – like dish soap – will clog the chemical injection system.

NOTICE

Use only detergents designed for pressure washers.Do not use household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions, which can damage the pump or cause property damage. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle. Always test in an inconspicuous area before beginning.

You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the chemical action of detergents with high pressure rinses. On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom and work your way upward. This method prevents the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks. Begin high pressure rinsing at the bottom and work your way upward. On particularly tough stains, use a brush in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.

1. Fill the detergent tank with cleaning solution.

2. Insert the detergent suction hose (end with the filter) through the detergent tank cap until it goes all the way to the bottom of the detergent tank.

3. Uncoil the rest of the detergent suction hose.

4. Connect the other end of the detergent suction hose to the detergent barb on the pump.

WARNINGNEVER use bleach in detergent tank. It will damage the pump and void the warranty.

NOTICEThe trigger gun will only draw detergent from the tank when the black quick connect nozzle is installed in the wand.

NOTICEWhen spraying detergent, the detergent will be diluted 1:12.Approximately 20.3 oz. (0.6 L) of detergent will be consumed from the tank for every minute sprayed.

System FlushAfter using detergents, flush the suction system by placing the detergent suction tube into a bucket of clean water.

 WARNINGNEVER turn the water supply off before turning the engine off.

Depressurize SystemTo depressurize, turn engine off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger for at least 15 seconds after engine is turned off.

WARNINGNEVER disconnect the high pressure discharge hose from the machine while the system is pressurized.

To reduce the risk of bodily injury or property damage, always follow this procedure whenever spraying is stopped, when work is completed, and before checking or repairing any part of the system.

  1. Engage the trigger gun lock out.
  2. Turn the unit off.
  3. Shut off the water supply.
  4. Disengage the trigger safety latch and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
  5. Re-engage the trigger safety latch.
  6. Before overnight storage, long term storage, or transporting unit, disconnect the water supply and turn off the fuel supply valve.

Operating Tips

CAUTIONNever operate your pressure washer without water.

CAUTIONNever connect your pressure washer to a hot water supply.Connecting your pressure washer to a hot water source will significantly reduce the life of the pump and will void the warranty.

CAUTIONRunning the unit for more than one minute without spraying water causes heat to build up in the pump.In the event that the pump gets too hot, a thermal relief valve will open to release the hot water. Running the unit without spraying water can damage pump components and will void the warranty.

System Flush

After using detergents, flush the suction system by placing the detergent suction tube into a bucket of clean water.

WARNINGNEVER turn the water supply off before turning the engine off.

Depressurize System

To depressurize, turn engine off, turn water supply off and squeeze gun trigger for at least 15 seconds after engine is turned off.
