CAUTION

Use the Pressure Washer only on surfaces
able to withstand the force of the spray.
1.	 Choose the Nozzle that best meets the needs of
the job. See Chart below. Only use the Nozzles
on surfaces capable of withstanding the force of
the spray. Only use the Black Nozzle when using
pressure washer detergent. The power of the
other Nozzles will propel mist back at the operator
and can embed detergent into the surface.

2.	 Pull back the quick connect collar and push the
Nozzle onto the end of the Wand. Make sure the
quick connect collar locks the Nozzle in place.
If using detergent:

5.	 Hold the Wand at about a 45° angle when
cleaning; spraying the surface directly could
embed dirt into the surface (especially with
the high pressure Nozzles). Spray at a
distance of about three to five feet.
6.	 Clean vertical and sloped surfaces
from the top down.
7.	 When cleaning horizontal surfaces, occasionally
use the stream to clear the area of excess water.
CAUTION! Do not allow the Pressure Washer
to idle without the Trigger held down for more than
two minutes. The water will heat up and damage the
Pressure Washer. RISK OF BURNS! The Pump
will expel very hot water if allowed to idle too long.
Note: During normal operation the Thermal Relief Valve
may release small amounts of water intermittently.
8.	 Hold the Trigger down and move the Wand back
and forth slowly and steadily to pressure wash the
surface. Take special care when spraying surfaces
made of two different materials (brick and mortar,
for example), so as to not damage the softer of
the two materials during pressure washing.
9.	 If the surface is streaked or uneven at the end
of a job, switch to a Nozzle that has a wider
spray pattern to blend the affected area.

Maintenance

Read detergent directions. Only use detergents
specified for use with pressure washers. Open
the Detergent Tank Lid, fill Detergent Tank with
prepared detergent solution and close the Lid. The
Pressure Washer will draw one gallon of detergent
for every seven gallons of water. Only use the Black
(low pressure) Nozzle when spraying detergents.

4.	 Start with a low pressure Nozzle, and gradually
use higher pressures as needed. Test spray the
edge of the surface to be cleaned first to make sure
that the stream is not too strong for the surface.
If the stream damages the surface, move further
away from the surface being cleaned to reduce the
pressure being applied to the surface. If the stream
is still too strong, lock the Trigger in the safety
position and change to a lower pressure Nozzle.

Setup

Do not direct spray from the Pressure Washer at a
person or an animal.
The water stream could cause serious injury.

3.	 With water supply on and Engine running
following directions in Starting the Engine
on page 13, unlock and hold down the
Trigger to start the stream. Be aware that
when it is first started, the gun will kick.

and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly,
to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries
to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of
our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.

To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation charges prepaid.
Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise.
If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or

We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted
from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Emissions Control System Warranty

Where a warrantable condition exists, HFT will repair your
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
The 2014-2015 engines are warranted for two (2) years.
If any emissions-related part on your engine is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by HFT.

Harbor Freight Tools Emissions Control
Defects Warranty Coverage
Engines are warranted for a period of two (2) years relative
to emissions control parts defects, subject to the provisions
set forth below. If any emissions related part on your engine
is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by HFT.

	

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
•	 As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance
of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual.
HFT recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your engine, but HFT cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
•	 As the engine owner, you should, however, be aware
that HFT may deny you warranty coverage if your
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
•	 You are responsible for shipping your engine to a HFT
warranty station as soon as a problem exists. Contact the
HFT Customer Service department at the number below to
make shipping arrangements. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Warranty claims shall be filed in accordance with the provisions
of the HFT warranty policy explained in the box at the top of the
previous page. HFT shall not be liable for any loss of use of
the engine, for any alternative usage, for any damage to goods,
loss of time, or inconvenience. Warranty coverage shall also be
excluded for any part which fails, malfunctions, or is damaged
due to failure to follow the maintenance and operating instructions
set forth in the Owner’s Manual including, but not limited to:
a)	 Use of parts which are not authorized by HFT
b)	 Improper installation, adjustment or repair of
the engine or of any warranted part unless
performed by an authorized warranty center
c)	 Failure to follow recommendations on fuel use
contained in the Owner’s Manual
d)	 Improper or inadequate maintenance of any warranted parts
e)	 Repairs performed outside of
the authorized warranty service dealers
f)	 Alterations by changing, adding to or
removing parts from the engine.

5.	 Service and Maintenance
Component parts which are not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance or are scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”
are warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part
which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
is warranted for the period of time up to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. Any replacement part, provided
it is equivalent in durability and performance, may be used
in performance of maintenance or repairs. The owner is
responsible for commissioning a qualified technician/mechanic
to perform all required maintenance, as outlined in the
Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance section in this manual.

Setup

Your emissions control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel-injection system, and the ignition system.
Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emissions‑related assemblies.

Coverage under this warranty shall also extend to the failure
of any engine components caused by the failure of any

and Harbor Freight Tools (herein HFT) are pleased to explain the
