3. Adjust the engine to a low speed until you see water exiting the water outlet. NOTE: This may take up to 3-5 minutes. Adjust the engine throttle back to full RPM. 4. Once the unit is primed, stop the engine and connect the high pressure discharge hose to the water outlet of the unit. NOTE: The trigger gun and dual lance assembly should already be connected to the high pressure discharge hose at this time. START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION: 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. Ensure the burner switch is in the "OFF" position. 4. Pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. Hold the trigger gun open while starting the engine according to the manufacture's instructions in the engine manual accompanying this unit. 5. Once the engine has started, ensure the engine throttle is adjusted to full RPM and perform the following procedures with the trigger gun open: a. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is found, TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! See "Risk of Fire", 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 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! Replace hose before starting the unit. See "Risk of Injection", pg. 5. 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 Customer Service. 6. At this point, the unit is operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger the gun several times and try adjusting the water pressure. NEVER place hand or fingers in front of the nozzle or look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe injury! 7. 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 packings, resulting in costly pump repair. 8. Your pressure washer can deliver high pressure spray and a variety of spray patterns using cold water. If you wish to use the Hot Water application or Cleaning with Detergents, see page 17 for the correct procedures. CAUTION RISK OF UNIT DAMAGE. BE CERTAIN THE HOSE, GUN & DUAL LANCE ASSY. ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE UNIT WHILE PRIMING THE PUMP. PRIMING ALLOWS MINERAL DEPOSITS TO BE RELEASED FROM THE SYSTEM WHICH WOULD OBSTRUCT OR DAMAGE THE GUN AND NOZZLE ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN COSTLY REPAIRS. DANGER RISK OF INJECTION CAUSING SEVERE INJURY! -KEEP CLEAR OF NOZZLE! NEVER PLACE HAND OR FINGERS IN FRONT OF NOZZLE! -DO NOT DIRECT DISCHARGE STREAM AT PEOPLE OR PETS! CAUTION RISK OF DAMAGE. DO NOT ALLOW SPRAY PATTERN TO REMAIN ON A FIXED AREA FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. POSSIBLE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE AREA. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOT WATER OPERATION: 1. Follow the steps outlined for "START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION". 2. Move the Burner Switch to the ON position. On initial start-up, water will begin turning hot in approximately 20 seconds and will reach maximum temperature in approximately 2-1/2 minutes, provided the trigger remains squeezed. The burner will stop firing when the trigger is released. NOTE: While spraying, it is normal for the burner to fire intermittently. The high-limit switch will cause combustion to cease when the temperature of the discharged water exceeds the maximum temperature setting of the switch. Combustion will begin again when the temperature drops below the minimum setting. At this point, the unit is operating as a hot water pressure washer. Be certain to be extremely cautious when adjusting the pressure and controlling the trigger gun/dual lance assembly to avoid the possibility of burns. CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS UNDER LOW PRESSURE: NOTE: This feature is designed for use with mild detergents only. Since the cleaning solution travels through the heat exchanger coil, DO NOT use corrosives as they will cause extensive damage as well as pose a considerable safety hazard. 1. Refer to "Risk of Bodily Injury/Detergents" pg. 7. Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 12. 2. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. (Never pump acids, alkalines, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. Due to the unknown and often corrosives characteristics of many detergents commonly used in the pressure washer cleaning industry, it is recommended to use only John Deere detergents with this unit.) 3. Fully immerse the strainer end of the clear vinyl detergent hose into the detergent solution. 4. Adjust the amount of detergent desired by locating the adjustment knob at the end of the clear vinyl hose. Turn the knob completely counterclockwise to set at maximum siphon rate....
