choke ring fully to the right .

Why don’t I have any water

pressure?

•

Is the water hose attached to the pressure washer?

•

Is the water turned on?

•

Check for any kinks, leaks, or blockage in the hoses,

fittings, or the nozzle .

•

Is the 15º (yellow) spray tip inserted into the end of

the lance (See Page 8)?

remove debris if needed .

How do I get high pressure?

•

into the end of the lance (See Page 8) .

How do I get the soap suction to

work?

1 .

Attach clear plastic tube to barb on pump (see Figure

2 on page 5) .

2 . Put the other filter end of the clear tube into the

detergent container .

3 . Install the black spray tip to apply low pressure

detergent .

Why doesn’t the pressure

washer apply detergents with

high pressure?

Detergents “bounce” off cleaning surfaces as fast as they
are applied . The pressure washer’s features allow for a
detergent to be drawn while in low pressure mode only . By
applying detergent at low pressure, the effect of “bouncing”
is reduced . Also, detergents are only effective when time is
allowed for them to work on the surface of whatever is being
cleaned . After applying the detergent, wait 1-3 minutes
while it works, and then proceed to rinse the surface with
high pressure .

What maintenance do I need to

perform on my pressure washer?

1 .

After turning off the pressure washer and the water,

depressurize the hose by triggering the gun .

2 .

Remove the garden hose and high pressure hose

from the pump .

3 .

Pull the start rope slowly five times to purge water

from the pump . This will help protect the pump from

damage .

4 .

Do not store your pressure washer in an area where

the temperature will drop below 32˚ F .

5 . Follow proper storage and winterizing instructions

found on page 9 .
