CLEANING AND APPLYING DETERGENT
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1.
Review use of spray tips.
2.
Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3.
Place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into detergent container.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent while applying detergent.
NOTE: Contact with the hot muffler could damage detergent siphoning tube.
When inserting the siphon into a detergent solution bottle, route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the
hot muffler.
4. Make sure pink detergent spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high pressure spray tips (White, Green, Yellow 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.
NOTE: 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).
NOTE: You must flush the detergent siphoning system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean water, then
run the pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.
PRESSURE WASHER RINSING
For Rinsing:
1. Remove pink detergent spray tip from nozzle extension.
2. Select and install desired high pressure spray tip following instructions "How to
Use Spray Tips".
3. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to spray.
4. Increase (decrease) spray pressure by turning pressure control knob (A) clockwise (counterclockwise). Use lower
pressure to wash items such as a car or boat. Use higher pressure to strip paint and degrease driveways. (See Fig. 14)
5. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then check surface for damage. If no damage is found, you can
assume it is okay to continue rinsing.
6. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.
CLEANING DETERGENT SIPHONING TUBE
If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.
1. Place detergent siphoning tube/filter in a bucket full of clean water.
2.
Remove high pressure spray tip from nozzle extension.
Select and install pink detergent spray tip following instructions "How to Use Spray Tips".
3.

Flush for 1-2 minutes.
Shut off engine following instructions "How to Stop Pressure Washer" and turn off water supply.
5.

ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction, press red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained high water
pressure.
