STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 11.

CAUTION:

Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup- ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the pressure washer.

Connect the garden hose.

Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the high pressure trigger to relieve air pressure. Once a steady stream of water appears, release the trigger.

After ensuring the switch is in the OFF position, connect the pressure washer to the power supply.

Press the reset button on the pressure washer’s plug to make sure the unit is ready for operation.

Press ON ( I ) on the switch to start the motor.

To stop the motor, release the trigger and press OFF ( O ) on the switch.

WARNING:

Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands. Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of control and injury to yourself and others.

USING THE DETERGENT INJECTOR­

See Figures 12 - 13.

The G-Clean detergent injector allows you to use G-Clean detergent while using your pressure washer for high and low pressure cleaning.

NOTE: Use only G-Clean detergent in the injector. Any other solutions may damage the injector and/or your pressure washer pump.

Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.

Lay the pressure washer on its back as shown.

nTo remove the detergent tank, turn the tank counterclock- wise.

nIf needed, remove the screen with gasket and clean.

nBefore first use, remove G-Clean detergent pouch from plastic bag and place into the tube, then reassemble the screen with gasket.

nReinstall the detergent tank and turn counterclockwise to tighten.

NOTE: Make sure the tank is securely tightened. Allow- ing air into the injector during use may cause damage to your pressure washer pump.

nTo rinse with no detergent, turn the dial to WATER.

nTo clean, turn the detergent dial to G-CLEAN.

NOTE: If a G-Clean detergent pouch is inserted but de- tergent is not dispensed, check the dial to ensure that it is set to G-Clean. If the dial is set correctly, ensure that the detergent pouch has fully dissolved. If detergent is still not dispensed, remove the detergent tank and screen and flush the screen with water to clean.

USING THE SPRAY WAND

See Figure 14.

For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.

NOTE: For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the unit at all times.

Several different methods of cleaning are available. Choose the method best suited for your cleaning project.
