USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING:
Injection hazard. Fully unwrap and straighten high
pressure hose prior to and during each use and do
not allow it to become kinked. The high pressure hose
features an outer covering that provides strength to the
hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, stop using
the hose and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged
hose can develop a high pressure leak and result in a
possible injection or other serious personal injury.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
 Inspect the hose before every use.
 Fully unwrap and straighten hose before use.
 Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.
 Keep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.
 Do not pull unit by high pressure hose.
 Do not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped around
objects.

OPERATION
NOTICE:
USE ONLY DETERGENTS DESIGNED FOR PRESSURE
WASHERS. Do not use household detergents, acids,
alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or
industrial grade solutions, which can damage the pump
or cause property damage. Many detergents may
require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution
as instructed on the solution bottle. Always test in an
inconspicuous area before beginning.
 Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.
 Pour detergent in the soap tank. 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.
NOTE: The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which
usually allows the use of 1 gallon pressure washer
detergent without further dilution. Check your detergent
instructions to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.
 Install the blue or black soap nozzle on the spray wand.
 Connect unit to power supply and turn the pressure
washer on.
 Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds
for the detergent to appear.
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the motor:
 Fill the soap tank with clean water.
 Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the
tank is empty.
 If any soap remains in the spray, repeat with a second
tank of clean water.
 Shut off the motor.
NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the motor will not relieve pressure
in the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
