using the spray wand trigger

See Figures 19 - 20.

For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the trigger handle at all times.

nPull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure washer.

nRelease the trigger to stop the flow of water through the nozzle.

To engage the lock out:

nPush up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

To disengage the lock out:

nPush the lock out down and into its original position.

For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.

SELECTing the RIGHT QUICK-CONNECT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB

See Figure 21.

Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. The nozzle patterns are: 40° (for medium pressure), 25° (for general purpose or large surfaces), 0° (for spot clean- ing or hard-to-reach areas), and the Soap Blaster™ nozzle (for long and short range detergent application).

WARNING:

NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock out on the trigger handle and never point the wand at your face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force. Failure to heed this may cause personal injury.

Using the quick-connect collar, changing nozzles is easy.

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

To connect a nozzle to the trigger handle:

nEngage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

nPush the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it clicks in place and is secured properly.

To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle once the cleaning job is complete:

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Point nozzle in a safe direction and pull trigger to release water pressure.

nEngage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

nRemove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then pulling back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle holder for storage.

washing with detergent

See Figures 22 - 23.

NOTE: When using detergent, the coiled high pressure hose can be relocated to the high pressure hose storage strap located behind the handlebar instead of the strap located on the rear carrying handle.

Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house- hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam- mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

nPlace the injection hose in the bottom of the detergent bottle/container.

nInstall the Soap Blaster™ nozzle on the spray wand.

nSpray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.

For long range detergent application:

With the Soap Blaster™ nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine shut off, pull nozzle up until it clicks into place.

For short range detergent application:

With the Soap Blaster™ nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine turned off, push the Soap Blaster™ nozzle down as far as it will go.

Before shutting off the engine:

nPlace the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.

nFlush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the spray wand).

nShut off the engine.

NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve pres- sure in the system. Point nozzle in a safe direction and pull trigger to release water pressure.
