OPERATION
OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 16.
To clean:
nTurn the detergent dial to desired setting: WATER or G-CLEAN.
nStart the pressure washer and spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
nSelect the right pressure for the job:
Use low pressure to wash items such as a boat.
Use high pressure for jobs such as stripping paint and degreasing the driveway.
Use a combination of high and low pressure (high flow) for heavily soiled areas where constant flushing is de- sired.
NOTE: When using either high pressure or a combination of high and low pressure (high flow), test a small area first to avoid surface damage.

nStore the spray wand on the unit.
nTilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 18.
When not in use, store the pressure washer indoors in a low traffic area.
You must pull the trigger to release water pressure before attempting to disconnect the nozzle or high pressure hose for storage. Shutting off unit will not relieve pressure in the system.
nDepress the handle release button. This will allow the handle to retract. If the handle does not lower on its own, apply a light pressure to push the handle down.
