6. Turn the detergent dial to adjust the suction volume of the
detergent solution (Fig. 17).
7. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned.
NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
8. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on
the surface.
m
CAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if
the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
9. When you have finished using the detergent injection
system, remove the detergent suction tube from the
detergent bottle and insert it into 1.3 gal (5 L) of fresh
water. Siphon water at low-pressure for one minute so that
all the detergent is flushed through the system. Remove
the detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly
cleaned.
m
CAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions
will cause the injection system to become clogged and
inoperable.
Rinsing with the pressure washer
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 14).
4. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle
while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
5. Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 18):
i) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (orange) is an extremely
powerful nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-
point jet stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits
in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving
stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on
concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment.
Use this nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including
the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of
lawn mowers and tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the
right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
ii) Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning
jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping
paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains,
and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in
areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this
nozzle.
iii) Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding,
brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks.
When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid
surface damage.
iv) Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items
such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn
equipment.
v) Use the Soap nozzle (black) for low-pressure detergent
application to clean equipment, remove mildew and
oxidation stains from houses, clean bricks or degrease
grimy surfaces.
NOTE: When using detergent, make sure that the
correct Soap nozzle (black) is installed. All of the other
colored nozzles will not work for detergent application.
6. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
making sure to overlap the strokes.

IMPORTANT! NEVER USE:
• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
