HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS operating your pres-
sure washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at
A DANGER! NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying. NEVER put hands in front of spray nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
You could be injured.
HOW TO USE THE ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
One of the nozzles you can attach to the nozzle extension is the adjustable nozzle. You can slide the adjustable nozzle forward and backward to adjust the spray pattern to be either high pressure or tow pres- sure. You can also twist the adjustable nozzle from side to side to adjust the spray so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern.
oSlide the nozzle forward to adjust the spray to low pressure mode. Slide the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure,

Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a narrow pattern to a fan pattern.

For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning sur- face.
•If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage the clean- ing surface.
APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WiTH
ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for pressure washers. Household detergents could dam- age 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 turned 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 bot- tle with handle (not included). Fill the rest of the bottle with water.)
oHang the detergent solution on the "J" hook on the wire form on the guide handle.
Place small filter on the chemical injectiontube into the detergent container.
oSlide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pres- sure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high pressure position.
Note: The first step involves applying an appropriate detergent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen grime. The detergent is applied at tow pressure to avoid splashing, overspraying and waste. Leave the solution on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solu- tion to work.
Note: The second step involves cleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressure washer and then rinsing it clean.
oReview the use of the adjustable nozzle.
oConnect garden hose to water inlet (see 'q'O 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 over- lapping strokes.
Allow the detergent to soak in between
