ADDING DETERGENT TO THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 9.

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.

Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.

Place pressure washer upright on a flat surface.

Remove cap from detergent tank.

Pour detergent into tank until it reaches the maximum fill level located on the unit.

NOTE: Use a funnel, if needed, to prevent accidental spilling of the detergent outside the tank. If any detergent is spilled during the filling process, make sure the unit is cleaned and dried before proceeding.

Reinstall cap.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 10.

CAUTION:

Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup- ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the pressure washer.

Connect the garden hose.

Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the high pressure trigger to relieve air pressure. Once a steady stream of water appears, release the trigger.

After ensuring the on/off switch is in the OFF ( O ) posi- tion, connect the pressure washer to the power supply.

NOTE: For ease of use during operation, secure the electrical cord and garden hose using the hook-and-loop strap as shown in figure 14.

Press the reset button on the pressure washer’s plug to make sure the unit is ready for operation.

Press ON ( I ) on the switch to start the motor.

To stop the motor, release the trigger and press OFF ( O ) on the switch.

WARNING:

Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands. Ex- pect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of control and injury to yourself and others.

USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER

See Figure 11.

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

Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure washer.

To engage the lock-out:

Push up on the lock-out until it clicks into the slot.

To disengage the lock-out:
