OPERATION
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
For long range detergent application:
With the Soap Blaster™ nozzle installed on the spray wand
and the engine shut off, pull nozzle up until it clicks into place.
For short range detergent application:
With the Soap Blaster™ nozzle installed on the spray wand
and the engine turned off, push the Soap Blaster™ nozzle
down as far as it will go.
Before shutting off the engine:
 Place the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.
 Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the
spray wand).
 Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in
the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects
being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the ma-
chine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move
it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which can result
in serious personal injury.
