oReview the use of the adjustable nozzle on Page 7.

oConnect garden hose to water inlet (see "TO START PRESSURE WASHER" on page 9), check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump (see ASSEMBLY), and start engine.

Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the bot- tom and working up.

Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes before washing and rinsing.

NOTE: To adjust the concentration of the mixture of cleaning chemical and water turn the knob where the clear plastic tube connects to the pump.

RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

°Hook up the water supply and start your pressure washer (see TO START PRESSURE WASHER on

page 9).

°Slide adjustable nozzle sleeve backward to high pres- sure 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 siphon from bottle.

STOPPING YOUR PRESSURE WASHER

iMPORTANT: Do not run pump without the water supply connected and turned on. You must follow this caution or

the pump wilt be damaged.

First, move engine RUN/STOP switch to "STOP'posi- tion.

For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using tong, even overlap- ping strokes.

WARNING: Be extremely careful if you must use pressure washer from ladder, 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 pres- sure could force you off climbing apparatus.

Simply shutting OFF engine will not release pressure in the system. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun for about 3 seconds to relieve pressure. Spray stream will noticeably decrease in length.

If you are not going td use the unit for tong periods of time close the fuel shut-off valve.
