STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 17.

WASHING WITH DETERGENT

See Figure 18.

Use only soaps designed for pressure washers; household detergents can damage the pump. Many detergents require mixing prior to use. Follow manufacturer’s instructions on the solution bottle. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

nPlace the injection hose in the bottom of the detergent bucket.

n�Carefully pour the cleaning solution into the bucket taking care not to splash the solution.

nInstall the black nozzle on the spray wand.

nSpray 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:

nPlace the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.

nFlush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the spray wand).

nShut 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

nEngage the lock out on the wand by pushing up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

nPull back and hold the collar.

nSelect 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.

nStart at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down overlapping the strokes.
