Section 4: Operation

Cleaning and Applying Detergent

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

9.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).

CAUTION

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.

•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

To apply detergent follow these steps:

1.Review ProjectPro™ nozzle 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 ProjectPro™ cleaning detergent nozzle is installed.

NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high pressure nozzles (Yellow, Orange or Red).

6.Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet and water supply is turned on. 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 20).

Figure 20 — Chemical Shut-Off Valves

“On” Position

“Off” Position

CAUTION

DO NOT turn on both chemical shut-off valves at the same time.

•Only one chemical solution should be used at a time to avoid possible bodily injury and/or property damage.

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

Pressure Washer Rinsing

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

1.Engage trigger lock on spray gun.

2.Make sure both chemical shut-off valves are in “Off” position.

3.Remove black ProjectPro™ cleaning detergent nozzle from nozzle extension.

4.Select and install desired ProjectPro™ nozzle, as described in “How to Use ProjectPro™ Nozzle System”.

5.Keep spray gun a safe distance from spray surface.

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.

6.Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then check the surface for damage. If no damage, proceed to step 7.

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

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.
