4.1 START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Make sure water supply is connected and turned on.
2. Make sure the unit is plugged in.
3. Release gun safety if locked. (Fig. 2)
4. To allow air to escape from the hose, squeeze trigger on
the gun until there is a steady stream of water coming
from the nozzle.
5. Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the gun outlet
and the male connector of the wand.
6. Insert the wand into the gun's quick connect coupling by
pushing firmly and twisting wand ¼ of a turn to lock into
place. (Fig 3)
NOTE: make sure wand is locked.
WARNING: if the wand is not securely locked into
place, it could be ejected under high pressure when
operating the gun.
7. Move the power on/off switch on the pressure washer to
the "ON" position.
8. Squeeze the gun trigger and the pressure washer motor
will start.
WARNING: make sure the wand is pointed in a safe
direction when starting the pressure washer. Do not
point at face or feet as serious injury could result.
4.2 VARIO SPRAY NOZZLE
The adjustable spray nozzle can adjust spray from fan to
pencil point. The spray is adjusted by turning the nozzle. (Fig.
4)
CAUTION: the pencil point spray adjustment is
very aggressive. We recommend that for most
cleaning applications, a twenty degree (20°) spray
angle be used to avoid damage to the surface being
sprayed.
NOTE: the pressure of the spray on the surface you are
cleaning increases as you move the wand closer to the
surface.
To increase angle to a fan spray, turn counterclockwise.
To decrease angle to pencil point spray, turn clockwise.
4.2.1 HAND BRUSH ASSEMBLY
Insert the hand brush into the gun (Fig. 3a). Push firmly and
twist clockwise 1/4 turn to lock into position.
