Using the nozzles
Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.
The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 25˚ (for
all-purpose cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning
or hard-to-reach areas) and the Soap nozzle (for detergent
application).
m
CAUTION!
NEVER change nozzles without locking the
safety lock on the trigger handle.

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.
This electric pressure washer is equipped with five (5)
Quick-Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the
Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 14).
3. Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar
until it clicks into place (Fig. 15).
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning
job is complete:
4. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
5. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 14).
6. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle
while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.

WARNING! Do not make changes to the nozzle while
the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the
pressure washer or injury to the user.
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 for more effective dirt removal.
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 could damage the pressure
washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution
bottle.
1. Remove the cap and detergent suction tube from the
detergent bottle.
2. Gently pull the onboard detergent tank out of its storage
position and fill it with detergent designed specifically for
use with pressure washers (Fig. 16).
3. Insert the suction tube back into the tank and cap the tank
closed. Push the tank back into storage position on the
unit.
4. Install the Soap nozzle (black) on the spray wand (Fig. 15).
m
CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.
5. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the
unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water
and be discharged through the nozzle.
