HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

-IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS operating your pressure washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-800-222-3t 36.

A DANGER! NEVER adjust spray pattern I when spraying. NEVER put hands in front [ of spray nozzle to adjust spray pattem.

You could be injured.

HOW TO USE THE ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE

One of the nozzles you can attach to the nozzle extension (wand) is the adjustable nozzle. You can slide the adjustable nozzle forward and backward to adjust the spray pattern to be either high or low pres- sure. You can also twistthe adjustable nozzle from side to side to adjust the spray so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern.

Slide the nozzle forward to adjust the spray to low pressure mode. Slide the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.

If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning surface.

APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WITH ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for pressure washers. Household detergents could damage the pump.

IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses before you start the engine. Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without the water tamed ON will damage the pump.

To apply detergent follow these steps:

Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job. (For the enclosed bottles of detergent, add the 8 ounces of chemical to a 1 gallon plastic bottle with handle (not included). Fill the rest of the bottle with water.)

Hang the detergent solution on the "J" hook on the wire form on the guide handle.

Place small filter on the chemical injection tube into the detergent container.

Note: The first step involves applying an appropriate detergent/solvent solutionto penetrate and loosen grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to

avoid splashing, overspraying and waste. Leave the solution on the surface for 3 to 5 minutes.

Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.

Connect garden hose to water inlet (see "TO START PRESSURE WASHER"), check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump (see ASSEMBLY), and start engine.

For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.

Allow the detergent to soak in between 3 to 5 minutes before washing and rinsing.

For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle

between 8 to 24 inches away from the cleaning surface.

Note: The second step involves cleaning the surface you have prepared with the pressure washer and then rinsing it clean.
