Pressure Washer
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start my pressure
washer?
Why doesn’t the pressure
washer apply detergents with
high pressure?
Detergents “bounce” off cleaning surfaces as fast as they are
applied. The pressure washer’s features allow for a detergent
to be drawn while in low pressure mode only. By applying
detergent at low pressure, the effect of “bouncing” is
reduced. Also, detergents are only effective when time is
allowed for them to work on the surface of whatever is
being cleaned. After applying the detergent, wait 1-3
minutes while it works, and then proceed to rinse the surface
with high pressure.
1. Make sure you have gas and oil in the engine. The
engine DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL.
2. Turn the water on, then trigger the gun to make sure the
water will flow smoothly out of the tip.
3. Open the fuel shutoff valve by turning the knob
counterclockwise until it stops.
4. Close the choke (if engine is cold) by moving the choke
ring fully to the right.
5. Set the shut off switch to “ON.”
6. Pull the trigger (to relieve any back pressure in the pump)
while pulling the starter cord.
What maintenance do I need to
perform on my pressure washer?
What type of oil do I use?
ENGINE DOES NOT COME FILLED WITH OIL: See Page 10 for
engine oil types, quantities, and oil changing instructions.
1. After turning off the pressure washer and the water,
depressurize the hose by triggering the gun.
2. Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose from the
pump.
Pump: The pump comes filled with the correct amount of
oil and should not need changing or filling.
3. Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge water from
the pump. This will help protect the pump from damage.
Why don’t I have any water
pressure?
4. Do not store your pressure washer in an area where the
temperature will drop below 32˚ F.
• Is the water hose attached to the pressure washer?
5. Follow proper storage and winterizing instructions found
on page 9.
• Is the water turned on?
• Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the hoses,
fittings, or the nozzle.
What do I do if I’m missing a
part?
Call Campbell Hausfeld at 1-800-330-0712 and we will
promptly replace your missing parts. DO NOT RETURN THE
PRESSURE WASHER TO THE RETAILER!
• Is the 15º (yellow) spray tip inserted into the end of the
lance (See Page 6).
• Is the inlet filter screen free of debris? Check and remove
debris if needed.
How do I get high pressure?
Where can I buy accessories for
my pressure washer?
• If you can’t find accessories at the store where you
purchased your pressure washer, call Campbell Hausfeld
at 1-800-330-0712 or visit our website at
• For high pressure, insert the 15º (yellow) spray tip into
the end of the lance (See Page 6).
How do I get the soap suction to
work?
1. Connect the clear plastic chemical suction tube to the
plastic hose barb on detergent tank.
Who do I call if I have questions
or problems?
2. Fill the detergent tank with detergent forumlated for use
with pressure washers.
Call Campbell Hausfeld at
1-800-330-0712 (U.S.A.)
3. To spray soap, insert the 65° (black) soap spray tip into
the end of the lance (see page 6).
