2800 PSI Pressure Washer

How to Use Spray Tips

The nozzle extension quick–connect allows the use of several different spray tips. Each spray tip provides a different spray pattern (Figure 12).

CAUTION

A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.

NEVER exchange spray tips without locking the safety latch on the trigger.

Cleaning and Applying Chemical

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

the pump.

To apply detergent follow these steps:

1.Review spray tip use.

2.Prepare chemical solution as required by manufacturer.

3.Pour chemical solution into chemical reservoir labeled A or B.

NOTE: Each chemical reservoir holds two quarts.

4.Fill other chemical reservoir with a different prepared solution, as desired.

5.Make sure black spray tip is installed.

NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with high pressure spray tips (White,Yellow, or Red).

6.Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump; start engine.

7.Rotate chemical shut-off valve on desired chemical reservoir to “On” position (Figure 13).
