collar.Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in
place.

24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you get spray
tip too close, you may damage cleaning surface.

Cleaning and Applying Chemical
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage
the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
1. Review spray tip use.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by
manufacturer.
3. Place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
4. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure spray tips (White,Yellow, or Red).
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.

gun and pump and start engine.
6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using

on the trigger.
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
