OPERATION

High Pressure Cleaning:

Squeeze the high pressure trigger located beneath the rear handle. This will provide a spray of water at high pressure.

Low Pressure (High Flow) Cleaning:

Move the low pressure (high flow) lever on top of the trigger han- dle forward. This will provide a spray of water at low pressure.

NOTE: When using low pressure (high flow) cleaning only, depress the high pressure trigger lock-out to prevent ac- cidental depressing of the high pressure trigger.

Combination Cleaning/Rinsing:

To apply a high pressure stream and rinse the area with water at the same time (for instance, in a heavily soiled area), move the low pressure (high flow) lever forward and depress the high pressure trigger.

NOTE: Any cleaning or rinsing method using high pressure spray requires that the ON/OFF switch be in the ON position. For methods using low pressure only, the switch may be in either the ON or OFF position.

USING THE NOZZLES

See Figure 15.

Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the job. The 15˚ nozzle is for general purpose or large surfaces and the turbo nozzle gives up to 50% more clean- ing power.

• Removing paint from wood, masonry or

 

metal

 

Pencil jet nozzle rotates at high speed to

 

increase intensity and cleaning area of the

Turbo

spray. Spray pattern will cover an area from 4

to 8 in. wide depending on distance between

 

 

wand and surface being cleaned.

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. Fail- ure to heed this can cause personal injury.

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup- ply. 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.

nPull back the quick-connect collar.

nPush the nozzle into place in the spray wand.

nPush the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.

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

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup- ply. 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 storage area on the top of the machine.

USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE

The high pressure hose features an outer covering that pro- vides strength to the hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, the hose must be replaced immediately. Do not use a high pressure hose if the outer covering is damaged.

To prevent damage to the outer covering:

nInspect the hose before every use.

nFully unwrap and straighten hose before use.

nDo not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.

nKeep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

nDo not pull unit by high pressure hose.

nDo not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped around objects.
