Operating The Pressure Washer; Storing The Pressure Washer - Homelite HL80220 Manual Del Operador

Several different methods of cleaning are available. Choose
the method best suited for your cleaning project.
High Pressure Cleaning:
Squeeze the high pressure trigger located beneath the rear
handle. This will provide a spray of water at high pressure.
Low Pressure (High Flow) Cleaning:
Move the low pressure (high flow) lever on top of the trigger han-
dle forward. This will provide a spray of water at low pressure.
NOTE: When using low pressure (high flow) cleaning only,
depress the high pressure trigger lock-out to prevent ac-
cidental depressing of the high pressure trigger.
Combination Cleaning/Rinsing:
To apply a high pressure stream and rinse the area with water
at the same time (for instance, in a heavily soiled area), move
the low pressure (high flow) lever forward and depress the
high pressure trigger.
NOTE: Any cleaning or rinsing method using high pressure
spray requires that the ON/OFF switch be in the ON position.
For methods using low pressure only, the switch may be in
either the ON or OFF position.
USING THE NOZZLES
See Figure 15.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle
for the job. The 25˚ nozzle is for general purpose or large
surfaces and the turbo nozzle gives up to 50% more clean-
ing power.
CAUTION
:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock-out on
the trigger handle.
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. 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.
 Pull back the quick-connect collar.
 Push the nozzle into place in the spray wand.
 Push the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured
properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.
To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle once the
cleaning job is complete:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. 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.
 Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the
nozzle storage area on the top of the machine.
OPERATION

OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 16.
To clean:
 Turn the detergent dial to desired soap level.
 Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on a dry
surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent
streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
 Select the right pressure for the job:
 Use low pressure to wash items such as a car or
boat.
 Use high pressure for jobs such as stripping paint and
degreasing the driveway.
 Use a combination of high and low pressure (high flow)
for heavily soiled areas where constant flushing is de-
sired.
NOTE: When using either high pressure or a combination
of high and low pressure (high flow), test a small area first
to avoid surface damage.
 When the injector looks empty and the water begins
to run clear, turn off your pressure washer and replace
the empty pouch with a new G-Clean detergent pouch.
Additional G-Clean detergent pouches are available at the
retailer where you purchased this product in the following
styles:
 Concrete Cleaner and Degreaser (orange) .. AGPWC02
 Siding and All Purpose (green) ................... APGWC01
 Mold Blaster (yellow) .................................. APGWC03
NOTE: One pouch of G-Clean detergent will last up to
30 minutes, depending on water tempature.
To rinse:
 Turn dial completely clockwise.
 Spray away from the rinsing surface for approximately 10
seconds to allow any remaining detergent to be flushed
from the line.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 17.
When not in use, store the pressure washer indoors in a low
traffic area.
 Depress the handle release button. This will allow the
handle to retract. If the handle does not lower on its own,
apply a light pressure to push the handle down.
NOTE: Do not loosen the locking collar when retracting
or extending the handle.
 When the pressure washer is needed again, depress and
hold the handle release button while pulling up on the
handle to restore it to normal operating position.
