WARNING Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from ladder,
A scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. Pressure in a running washer builds in the wand as you climb. When you press the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could force you to fall, or if you are too close
to the cleaning surface, high pressure could force you off a climbing apparatus.
•RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
•Hook up the water supply and start your pressure washer (see TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER).
Slide adjustable nozzle back to high pressure position and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow when in the high pressure mode.
When detergent has cleared you may want to expand the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same action as for cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing the siphon from bottle.
HOW TO ADJUST PRESSURE USING THE PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB
Located on the pump is a pressure control knob. You can increase and decrease the pressure of the spray by turn- ing the knob clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.
The knob is set at maximum pressure at the factory.
HOW TO USE THE TURBO NOZZLE.
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a rapid circular pattern. This increases the cleaning effec- tiveness of the high pressure spray. Attach the turbo nozzle on the end of the nozzle extension.

•Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly.
STARTER GRIP
The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface
being cleaned.
Important: The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high pressure spray which is capable of removing paint and cutting holes through cleaning surfaces if held too close. Always make sure the surface you clean will not be damaged by the high pressure spray.
Return the starter grip gently.
if the choke rod was pulled to the CLOSED position to start the engine, push it to OPEN position as soon as the engine warms up enough to run smoothly. (See illustration above)
