Pressure Washer
If Unit is Equipped with Adjustable
Nozzle
If your pressure washer is equipped with an adjustable nozzle
(Model 01805 (2500 PSI)), adjust the spray pattern and spray
pressure as follows:
1. Slide nozzle forward to obtain low pressure mode
(Figure 18). Slide nozzle backward to achieve high
pressure.
2. Point nozzle towards firm surface and press trigger to
test spray pattern (Figure 19).
3. Twisting nozzle adjusts spray pattern from narrow
pattern to fan pattern (Figure 20).
4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
If Unit is Equipped with
Quick-Connect Spray Tips
CAUTION! NEVER exchange nozzles without
locking the safety latch on the trigger.
NOTE: Model 01805 (2500 PSI) is NOT equipped with
quick connect spray tips.
The nozzle extension quick–connect allows the use of
several different spray tips. Each spray tip provides a
different spray pattern.
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1.
Engage safety latch on spray gun.
2. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
spray tip off.
3. Select desired spray tip:
• For gentle rinse, select white 40° spray tip.
• To scour surface, select yellow 15° or red 0° spray
tip.
• To apply chemical, select black spray tip.
4. Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar.
Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.
5. For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from 8 to
24 inches away from cleaning surface. DO NOT get
closer than 6 inches when cleaning automobile tires.
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 the use of nozzles.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by manufacturer.
3. Place chemical injection siphon/filter into detergent
container.
CAUTION! Keep the chemical injection tube from
coming in contact with the hot muffler.
4A. For model 01805, slide adjustable nozzle forward to
low pressure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with
nozzle in high pressure position.
4B. For models 01806 and 01936, make sure black spray tip is
installed. Detergent cannot be applied with high pressure
quick-connect spray tips (White,Yellow, or Red).
