How To Use Your Pressure Washer
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the spray pattern to either high pressure
or low pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is
concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a
fan pattern.
• Slide the nozzle in a forward position to draw
chemical and achieve low pressure. Pull nozzle
back for high pressure.
• To adjust your spray pattern twist the nozzle clock-
wise for fan spray or counterclockwise for stream
spray.
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 and 24 inches from cleaning surface.
IMPORTANT: If you get spray nozzle too close
especially on high pressure, you may damage the
surface you are cleaning.
• The pressure control knob is located on the pump.
You can increase the pressure by turning the knob
clockwise or decrease the pressure by turning the
knob counterclockwise.
NOTE: This unit is set at its maximum pressure at the
factory. Do not attempt to adjust the pressure higher
than this factory setting.
Using Soaps/Chemicals
IMPORTANT: Use soaps and chemicals that are
designed specifically for use with pressure washers.
To apply soaps/chemicals follow these steps:
• Prepare the soap/chemical as required by your job.
• Insert soap/chemical line into your container (soap/
chemicals and container not included).
• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Soap/chemicals cannot be applied with
nozzle in high pressure position.
• Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
• Connect garden hose to water inlet (see “To Start
Your Pressure Washer” on page 9). Check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump (see Assembly), and start engine.
• Apply soap/chemicals to dry surface, starting from
the bottom and working up.
• Allow the soap/chemicals to soak in between 3-5
minutes before washing and rinsing.
• When rinsing on high pressure, start at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.
NOTE: Your pressure washer is equipped with a
chemical injector adjustment knob. With the knob fully
opened you will get a maximum chemical draw.With
knob fully closed you will get no chemical draw. Turn
knob in counterclockwise direction to achieve more
chemical draw and clockwise for less chemical draw.
