MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 17.
 Loosen the pivot knob located halfway down the spray
wand storage tube.
 Grasp the handle at the rear of the pressure washer. Turn
the top section of the pressure washer until it is fully ex-
tended as shown in figure 17. Retighten the pivot knob.
 Grasp the moving handle and lift the machine off the
resting foot. Roll the machine to the desired position.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 17.
�����Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before placing the
storage handle in the “store” position. Store machine in a
dry, covered area where the weather can’t damage it.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figure 18.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents can damage the pump. Many detergents
require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution as
instructed on the solution bottle.
 Place the injection hose in the bottom of the detergent
bucket.
 �Carefully pour the cleaning solution into the bucket taking
care not to splash the solution or place the bottle in the
bucket.
 Install the black nozzle on the spray wand .
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
the detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:

Place the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.
 Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the spray
wand).
 Shut off the engine .
NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve pressure
in the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
 �Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the wand by pushing up on the
lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Pull back and remove the nozzle from the collar.
 Select the right nozzle for the job:
• Use lower pressure nozzle (white or green) to wash
items such as a car or boat.
• Use higher pressure nozzle (yellow or red) for jobs such
as stripping paint and degreasing the driveway. When
using these nozzles, test a small area first to avoid
surface damage.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
