ADDING DETERGENT TO THE PRESSURE

Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
 Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.
 Place pressure washer upright on a flat surface.
 Remove cap from detergent tank.
 Pour detergent into tank until it reaches the maximum fill
level located on the unit.
NOTE: Use a funnel, if needed, to prevent accidental
spilling of the detergent outside the tank. If any detergent
is spilled during the filling process, make sure the unit is
cleaned and dried before proceeding.
 Reinstall cap.

OPERATION

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figure 10.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-
ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the
high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
 Connect the garden hose.
 Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the high pressure
trigger to relieve air pressure. Once a steady stream of
water appears, release the trigger.
 After ensuring the on/off switch is in the OFF ( O ) posi-
tion, connect the pressure washer to the power supply.
NOTE: For ease of use during operation, secure the
electrical cord and garden hose using the hook-and-loop
strap as shown in figure 14.
 Press the reset button on the pressure washer's plug to
make sure the unit is ready for operation.
 Press ON ( I ) on the switch to start the motor.
 To stop the motor, release the trigger and press OFF
( O ) on the switch.
WARNING:
Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands. Ex-
pect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss
of control and injury to yourself and others.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See Figure 11.
For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the
trigger handle at all times.
 Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the

To engage the lock-out:
 Push up on the lock-out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock-out:
 Push the lock-out down and into its original position.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
