choke in to the RUN position.
NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
engine during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or engine seals, stop using the pressure
washer immediately. Contact customer service or a
qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may
cause property damage.

WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of
clearance on all sides of this product, including overhead.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time
before storage. Keep all body parts, clothing, combustible
materials, and hoses away from the muffler. Heat created
by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to
cause serious burns, ignite combustible objects, and/
or damage high pressure hoses that can result in an
injection injury.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See Figure 16.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due
to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of
control and injury to yourself and others.
„ Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
„ Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
OPERATION
To engage the lock out:
„ Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
„ Push the lock out down and into its original position.
Start with the nozzle 1-2 ft. away from the cleaning surface
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can
damage the cleaning surface.
SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 17.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the
job. Refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more information
about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the
engine, relieving the water pressure in the trigger
handle, and locking the lock out on the trigger handle.
NEVER point the nozzle at your face or at others. The
quick-connect feature contains small springs that could
eject the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in an eye injury or other serious
personal injury.

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

on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
„ Pull back the quick-connect collar.
„ Push the nozzle into place in the spray wand.
„ Push the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured
properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the
cleaning job is complete:
„ Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
„ Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
„ Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar.
