OPERATION
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 18 - 19.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

Remove the cap from the detergent container and pour
detergent in the container. Replace cap on container.
 Rotate the spray selector on the 5-in-1 Change Over
Nozzle to either the short range detergent [ ] or long
range detergent [ ] setting.
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
NOTE: To use a detergent bottle, open the detergent
container cap. Next, remove the filter from the end of the
injection hose then slide the hose out of the cap. Place the
injection hose filter back on the hose and place the hose in
the bottom of the bottle.
For long range detergent application:
With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the long range detergent
[ ] setting.
For short range detergent application:
With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the short range deter-
gent [ ] setting.
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 pres-
sure 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 trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Rotate the spray selector on the 5-in-1 Change Over
Nozzle to either the [40º], [25º], or [0º] setting depending
on the job. Refer to the chart in
Using the 5-in-1 Change
Over Nozzle to determine which setting is correct for
your application.
 When using these settings, 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.
