2. Place other end of chemical hose with filter on it
into container holding chemical/cleaning solution.
NOTE: The chemical/water ratio is 7:1, for every 7
gallons of water pumped one gallon of
chemical/cleaning solution will be used.
3. Install low pressure (black) nozzle into quick

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT
When using the high pressure setting, DO NOT allow the
high pressure spray to come in contact with unprotected skin,
eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury can occur.
Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a
physician immediately!
Never pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This
could damage hose and/or pump inlet.
DO NOT use hot water, use cold water only.
Never turn water supply off while pressure washer motor is running or damage
to pump will result.
DO NOT stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump
operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left
in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump
can be damaged.
This Product is intended for intermittent use only. Operate pressure washer
one hour or less in a 2 hour period.
