How To Use Your Pressure Washer
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 nozzle you can adjust the spray pattern to 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 in a forward position to draw chemical and achieve low pressure. Pull nozzle back for high pressure.
HIGH PRESSURE | LOW PRESSURE |
•To adjust your spray pattern twist the nozzle clock- wise for fan spray or counterclockwise for stream spray.
FAN SPRAY | STREAM SPRAY |
•For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between 8 and 24 inches from cleaning surface.
IMPORTANT: If you get spray nozzle too close especially on high pressure, you may damage the surface you are cleaning.
•The pressure control knob is located on the pump. You can increase the pressure by turning the knob clockwise or decrease the pressure by turning the knob counterclockwise.
NOTE: This unit is set at its maximum pressure at the factory. Do not attempt to adjust the pressure higher than this factory setting.

•Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
•Connect garden hose to water inlet (see “To Start Your Pressure Washer” on page 9). Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun and pump (see Assembly), and start engine.
•Apply soap/chemicals to dry surface, starting from the bottom and working up.
•Allow the soap/chemicals to soak in between
•When rinsing on high pressure, start at lower portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.
NOTE: Your pressure washer is equipped with a chemical injector adjustment knob. With the knob fully opened you will get a maximum chemical draw.With knob fully closed you will get no chemical draw. Turn knob in counterclockwise direction to achieve more chemical draw and clockwise for less chemical draw.
