OPERATION

USING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 19.

1.�Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.

2.Engage the lock off on the trigger by pushing up on the lock off until it clicks into the slot.

3.Select the correct nozzle for the job:

•Use lower pressure nozzle (green or white) to wash items such as a car or boat.

•Use higher pressure nozzle (red or yellow) for jobs such as stripping paint and degreasing the driveway. When using these nozzles, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.

4.Start at the top of the area and work down, overlapping strokes. Keep all hoses away from the muffler.

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.

NOTE: See Washing with Detergent for detergent application.

WASHING WITH DETERGENT

Use only detergents designed for pressure washers (household detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, sol- vents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage the pump). Many detergents require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle. ALWAYS test detergents first in an area that is hidden.

1.Place the injection hose in the bottom of the detergent bottle/container. DO NOT run chemicals through the inlet of the pump; use the chemical injection port only.

2.Install the black nozzle on the spray wand.

NOTE: The thumb dial must be in the MAX position and the detergent metering valve in any position other than off.

3.Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface. Keep all hoses away from the muffler.

Before shutting off the engine:

1.Place the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.

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

3.Shut off the engine.

NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve pressure in the system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
