Applying Detergent with Adjustable Nozzle

IMPORTANT: Use chemicals designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could

damage the pump.

CAUTION

u 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.

To apply detergent, follow these steps;

1. Review use of adjustable nozzie.

2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.

3. Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into

detergent container.

CAUTION

When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle,

route the tube so as to keep if from inadvertently

contacting the hot muffler.

4. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure

mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in
high pressure position.

5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water

inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected

to spray gun and pump. Start engine.

6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the

bottom and working up.

7. Allow detergent to "soak in” for 3-5 minutes before

rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface

from drying.

8. For washing, start at lower portion of area to be

washed and work upward, using long, even,
overlapping strokes.

IMPORTANT: You must flush the chemical injection

system after each use by placing the filter into a clean

bucket of water and running the pressure washer in
low pressure for 1-2 minutes.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

For Rinsing:

1. Slide nozzle backward to high pressure, press

trigger and wait for detergent to clear.

NOTE: You can also stop detergent flow by removing

detergent siphoning tube from container.

2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you

plan to spray.

^ WARNING

High pr

pray couia cau

Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from

cleaning surface.

Operate this unit on a stable surface.

Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure

washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively

unstable location.

Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high

pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.

3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then

check surface for damage. If no damage is found,
it is okay to continue cleaning.

4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down

with same overlapping strokes as you used for
washing and applying detergent.

Automatic Cool Down System

(Thermal Relief)

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for

3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray

gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125°F. The system engages to

cool the pump by discharging the warm water onto

the ground.
