How to Stop Your Pressure Washer

Move the throttle lever to the “Slow” position.

Wait for the engine to idle down.

Move the engine switch to the “Off” position.

Simply shutting off the engine will not release pressure in the system. Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve pressure in the hose.

How to Use the Nozzles

If you have any problems operating your pressure washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at

1-800-270-1408.

DANGER! Never exchange nozzles without locking the safety latch on the trigger.

The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to switch between five different nozzles. The nozzles vary the spray pattern as shown on the next page (Figure 11).

Follow these instructions to change nozzles:

Engage the safety latch on the spray gun.

Pull back the collar on the quick–connect and pull the current nozzle off. Store the nozzle in the space provided on the handles storage panel.

NOTE: For a more gentle rinse, select the white 40° or green 25° nozzle. To scour the surface, select the yellow 15° or red 0° nozzle. To apply chemical, select the black nozzle.
