CAUTION

Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without the water turned ON will damage the pump.

To apply detergent, follow these steps:

1.Review use of adjustable nozzle.

2.Prepare detergent solution as required by job.

3.Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into detergent container.

CAUTION

*When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle, route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot muffler.

4.Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high pressure position.

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

6.Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from bottom and working up.

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 iniury if gun kicks back.

3.Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then check surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.

4.Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.

Automatic Cool Down System (Therma_ 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.
