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 could 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.

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:

nTurn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. 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 and hold the quick-connect collar.

nRemove the nozzle by pulling it from 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.

ATTACHING INJECTION HOSE

See Figure 14.

Before detergent can be used with this machine, the injection hose must be attached.

nOpen the cap of your detergent container.

nPush the injection hose filter onto the end of the injection hose. Insert the injection hose into your cleaning solu- tion so the injection hose filter rests at the bottom of the detergent container.

nPush the open end of the injection hose securely over the fitting as shown in figure 14.

WASHING WITH DETERGENT

See Figure 15.

As sold, this unit is designed for use with “downstream” pres- sure washer detergents. To convert for use with “upstream” detergents, contact an authorized customer service center for more information.

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 one end of the injection hose into your detergent container and attach the other end to the pump.

NOTE: The machine setting of this unit is 1:20, which usually allows the use of 1 gallon detergent without further dilution. Check your detergent instructions to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.
