Homelite UT80720 Operating The Pressure Washer, Power Cord Storage, Moving The Pressure Washer­

OPERATION

OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 16.

To clean:

nTurn the detergent dial to desired setting: WATER or G-CLEAN.

nStart the pressure washer and spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.

nSelect the right pressure for the job:

Use low pressure to wash items such as a boat.

Use high pressure for jobs such as stripping paint and degreasing the driveway.

Use a combination of high and low pressure (high flow) for heavily soiled areas where constant flushing is de- sired.

NOTE: When using either high pressure or a combination of high and low pressure (high flow), test a small area first to avoid surface damage.

nWhen the injector looks empty and the water begins to run clear, turn off your pressure washer and replace the empty pouch with a new G-Clean detergent pouch.

Additional­ G-Clean detergent pouches are available at the retailer where you purchased this product in the following styles:

Concrete Cleaner and Degreaser (orange).. AGPWC02

Siding and All Purpose (green)................... APGWC01

Mold Blaster (yellow).................................. APGWC03

NOTE: One pouch of G-Clean detergent will last up to 30 ­minutes, depending on water temperature.

To rinse:

nTurn dial completely clockwise.

nSpray away from the rinsing surface for approximately 10 seconds to allow any remaining detergent to be flushed from the line.

nStart at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down, overlapping the strokes.

POWER CORD STORAGE

See Figure 17.

When it is not in use, the power cord may be wrapped around the two brackets on the back of the unit, below the hose reel.

To secure the power cord in place, flip the swivel bracket to the up position.

MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER­

To move the pressure washer:

nTurn the pressure washer off. Point nozzle in a safe direc- tion and pull trigger to release water pressure.

nStore the spray wand on the unit.

nTilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position.

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 18.

When not in use, store the pressure washer indoors in a low traffic area.

You must pull the trigger to release water pressure before attempting to disconnect the nozzle or high pressure hose for storage. Shutting off unit will not relieve pressure in the system.

nDepress the handle release button. This will allow the handle to retract. If the handle does not lower on its own, apply a light pressure to push the handle down.

NOTE: Do not loosen the locking collar when retracting or extending the handle.

nWhen the pressure washer is needed again, depress and hold the handle release button while pulling up on the handle to restore it to normal operating position.

For winterizing and long-term storage:

nDisconnect the water connection, if necessary.

nStart the pressure washer and allow it to run for a few seconds to eliminate any water remaining in the pump.

nCoil the hoses and place in the hook-and loop strap on the unit’s handle. Do not allow the hose to become kinked.

nStore the unit and accessories in an area that does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.

CAUTION:

The use of a pump protector is recommended to prevent cold weather damage during storage over the winter months.
