impurities.
Note: Before starting the pressure washer, be sure you are
wearing safety goggles as described below.
CAUTION:
Risk of eye injury. Spray could splash
back or propel objects resulting in serious injury.
• Always wear indirect vented (chemical splash)
safety goggles marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1 when using or in vicinity of this
equipment.
• NEVER substitute safety glasses or dry-
condition goggles for indirect vented safety
goggles.
9. Start the FLEX™ Power Base in accordance with the starting
instructions in the FLEX™ Power Base's Operator's Manual.
How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
1. Release the spray gun trigger and let the engine idle for
two minutes.
2. Push down and hold the engine rocker on/off switch on
the FLEX™ Power Base, to the OFF position, until the engine
comes to a complete stop.
3. ALWAYS point the spray gun in a safe direction, release
the spray lock lever if applied, then squeeze the spray gun
trigger to release any retained high water pressure.
4. Turn off the water source.
WARNING!
The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin and
its underlying tissues, resulting in serious injury and
possible amputation. Spray gun traps high water
pressure, even when engine is stopped and water is
disconnected, which could result in serious injury.
• Keep the high pressure hose connected to the
pump and the spray gun while the system is
pressurized.
• ALWAYS point the spray gun in a safe direction,
release the trigger lock if applied, and squeeze
the spray gun trigger to release any built-up
high pressure, every time you stop engine.
How to Use The Accessory Tray
The unit is equipped with an accessory storage system with
places to store your spray gun, nozzle extension, high pressure
hose and quick connect spray nozzles.
1. Place the nozzle extension into the hole on the front, top,
left side of accessory tray as shown in Figure 4-1 of the
Controls & Features Section of this manual. Clip the nozzle
extension into place by moving it towards the front of the
unit.
2. Place the spray gun into the same hole, located just behind
the nozzle extension, and allow it to rest on its handle.
