HOW TO USE THE-ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can slide forward and backward and that you can
also twist from side to side. With the adjustable noz- zle you can adjust the spray pattern to be either high pressure or low pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern.
•Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust the spray to low pressure mode. Slide the nozzle backward to achieve high pressure.

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 withoutall the hoses connected and without the water turned ON
willdamage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
•Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job.
Hang the detergent solutionon the "J" hook on the wire form on the guide handle.
Place small filter on the clear, chemical injection tube into the detergent container.
•Slide 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 solutionto penetrate and loosen
grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to
avoid splashing,oversprayingand 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 rinsingit clean.
Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
Connect garden hose to water inlet (see "TO 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
