WARNING!
High pressure jets can be dangerous if
subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons,
pets, live electrical equipment or the appliance itself.
• The washer is equipped with an adjustable nozzle.
• Water jet can be adjusted from low pressure fan spray to
high pressure pencil spray by turning the nozzle as shown
(Fig. 12).
m
WARNING!
Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger
is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
Working with detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning
tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks
cleaning with detergent allows the user to remove the dirt more
effectively.
m
WARNING!
To apply detergents you must be operating
at low pressure. This provides a gentle application of the
detergent, with the pressure equivalent to a low-set garden
hose. The high pressure setting is used for cleaning. You
cannot apply detergents when working at high pressure.
• Set the adjustable nozzle to the low pressure, wide spray
setting (Fig. 13).
m
WARNING! Use only detergents designed for
Pressure Washers . DO NOT USE household detergents, acids,
alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or
industrial grade solutions. These can damage the pump.
• Gently pull the detergent tank out of its storage position
and fill with detergent (Fig. 14). Push the tank back into its
storage position.
