DANGER! Never exchange nozzles without
locking the safety latch on the trigger.
The quick-connect
on the nozzle extension allows you
to switch between four different nozzles. The nozzles
vary the spray pattern as shown here.

To change nozzles:
•
Engage the safety latch on the spray gun.
•
Pull back the collar on the quick-connect
and pull
the current nozzle off. Store the nozzle in the
space provided on the control panel.
NOTE: For a more gentle rinse, select white 40 °
nozzle. To scour the surface, select yellow 15 ° or red
0 ° nozzle. To apply chemical, select black low
pressure nozzle.
•
Pull back on the collar, insert the new nozzle and
release the collar. Pull on the nozzle to make sure
it is securely in place.
•
For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from the cleaning
surface. If you get the spray nozzle too close, you
may damage the cleaning surface.
Cleaning
and Applying
Chemical
,_
WARNING!
You must attach all hoses before
you start the engine. Starting the engine without
all the hoses connected and without the water
turned ON will damage the pump.
IMPORTANT:
Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
•
Review the use of the nozzles.
•
Prepare the detergent solution as required by the
manufacturer.
•
Hang the detergent solution container on the hook
at the rear of the pressure washer.
•
Place the small filter of the chemical injection tube
into the detergent container.
_
AUTION!
Keep the chemical injection tube
from coming in contact with the hot muffler. This
will damage the chemical injection tube. When
inserting the filter into a chemical bottle, route
the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently
contacting the hot muffler.
•
Make sure the black nozzle is installed on the
nozzle extension.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure nozzles (White, Yellow, or Red).
•
Make sure the garden hose is connected to the
water inlet. Check that high pressure hose is
connected to spray gun and pump, then start
engine.
•
Apply the detergent to a dry surface, starting at
lower portion of area to be washed and work
upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.
Do Not allow the detergent to dry on. Allowing
detergent to dry on surface may cause streaking.
•
Allow the detergent to soak between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying.

Rinsing

ARNING!
Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from a ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. Pressure in a running washer builds as
you climb. When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray could cause you to fall. The
high pressure spray could also cause you to fall
if you are too close to the cleaning surface.
After you have applied detergent, scour the surface
and rinse it clean as follows:
•
Apply safety latch to spray gun.
