USING THE SPRAY WAND
To prevent damage to your surface and to select an appro-
priate working pressure for your application, always start with lowest pressure
setting and continue increasing the pressure until the best work result is
achieved.

USAGE TIPS:

• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 8 to 24 inches away from
cleaning surface.
• If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may
damage surface being cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
SHUTTING DOWN THE PRESSURE WASHER
To shut off the Pressure Washer:
1. Release spray gun trigger.
2. Move unit's ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
IMPORTANT: Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but does not shut off elec-
trical power to the unit.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to
relieve built up pressure in the unit.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected.
5. Engage trigger lock on spray gun when not in use.
6. Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet and coil power cord.

USAGE OF CLEANING DETERGENTS

TO APPLY DETERGENT:
1. Select a detergent/cleanser appropriate for
the intended application.
2. Prepare detergent solution as recommended
by the manufacturer.
3. Turn and remove the detergent bottle spray
head.
4. Fill bottle with prepared detergent solution.
A small funnel may help with this task.
Replace the detergent bottle spray head.
5. Make sure the Wand Extension is securely
connected to the gun. Remove the Wand from the Wand Extension (if connect-
ed).
6. Attach the Detergent Bottle to the Extension by pressing the Bottle spray head
inside the Extension and then turning the collar counter clockwise until spray
head locks inside the Extension. Tug on the Bottle to make sure it is secured.
7. Pull spray gun trigger and apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping
strokes.
Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
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 surface (prevents streaking).
TO RINSE:
1. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.
2. Apply a spray to a small area, and then check the surface for damage. If no
damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
3. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping
strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.
When you have completed use of the detergent injection system, continue to run to
flush clean water through the Detergent Bottle until spray head is thoroughly
cleaned.
Failure to clean properly will cause the Detergent Bottle
spray head to become clogged and inoperable.
