OPERATION

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

6.Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.

7.Allow detergent to soak in between 3–5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on (prevents streaking).

IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent siphoning system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

After you have applied detergent, scour the surface and rinse it clean as follows:

1.Engage safety latch on spray gun.

2.Remove black spray tip from nozzle extension.

3.Select and install desired high pressure spray tip following instructions in “How to Use Spray Tips”.

4.Increase (decrease) spray pressure by turning pressure control knob clockwise (counterclockwise) (See “Know Your Pressure Washer”). Use lower pressure to wash items such as a car or boat. Use higher pressure to strip paint and degrease driveways.

WARNING

High pressure spray could cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning surface.

Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.

Operate this unit on a stable surface.

Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location.

Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury when gun kicks back.

5.Apply high pressure spray to small area and check surface for damage. If no damage is found, you can assume it is okay to continue cleaning.

6.Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.

Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube

If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.

1.Place detergent siphoning tube/filter in a bucket full of clean water.

2.Engage safety latch on spray gun.

3.Attach black cleaning detergent nozzle.

4.Flush for 1-2 minutes.

5.Shut off engine.

6.ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained high water pressure.

IMPORTANT: Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected.

WARNING

The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can pierce skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.

Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.

ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.

Automatic Cool Down System

(Thermal Relief)

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for

3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water in the pump can reach temperatures above 125°F.The system engages to cool the pump by

discharging the warm water onto the ground.
