Applying Detergent; Pressure Washer Rinsing; Automatic Cool Down System (Thermal Relief) - Briggs & Stratton 80018646 Manual Del Operador

Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from
8 to 24 inches (20 to 61 cm) away from cleaning
surface.
• If you get spray tip too close, especially using a
high pressure spray tip, you may damage surface
being cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when
cleaning tires.

Applying Detergent

WARNING Chemical Burn Hazard.
Chemicals could cause burns resulting in
death or serious injury.
• DO NOT use caustic liquid with pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps.
Follow all manufacturers instructions.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of spray tips.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Pour detergent into cleaning tank.
NOTICE The cleaning tank holds 0.5 gallons
(1.9 liters).
4. Make sure magneta spray tip is installed.
NOTICE Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure spray tips (White, Green, Cyan or Red).
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water
inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected
to spray gun and pump. Turn on water.
NOTICE You must attach all hoses before you start
the engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON could damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
6. Start engine following instructions How to Start
Your Pressure Washer.
7. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.
8. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed
to prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow
detergent to dry on (prevents streaking).

Pressure Washer Rinsing

For Rinsing:
1. Remove magneta spray tip from nozzle extension.
2. Select and install desired high pressure spray tip
following instructions How to Use Spray Tips.
3. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area
you plan to spray.
WARNING Kickback from spray gun could
cause you to fall resulting in death or
serious injury.
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer
from a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks
back.
4. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then
check the surface for damage. If no damage is
found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
5. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working
down with same overlapping strokes as you used
for washing and applying detergent.
Automatic Cool Down System (Thermal
Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the
spray gun, circulating water in the pump can reach
temperatures above 125º-155ºF (51°-68°C). The
system engages to cool the pump by discharging the
warm water onto the ground.
