Damage may occur to painted surfaces if
the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cleaning instructions
will cause the injection system to become clogged and
inoperable.
Rinsing with the Pressure Washer
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing
up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 17).
4. Remove the soap nozzle by placing your hand over the
nozzle while pulling back on the quick-connect collar.
5. Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 22):

I) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (red) is an extremely powerful
nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-point jet
stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits in a small,
concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving stubborn
substances, like tar and grease spots on concrete,
or for removing caked mud from equipment. Use this
nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including the
facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of lawn
mowers and tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the
right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
II) Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning
jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping
paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains,
and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in
areas that can withstand the high-pressure from
this nozzle.
III) Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding,
brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks.
When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid
surface damage.
IV) Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean
items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or
lawn equipment.
V) Use the Soap nozzle (black) for low-pressure detergent
application to clean equipment, remove mildew and
oxidation stains from houses, clean bricks or degrease
grimy surfaces.
NOTE: When using detergent, make sure to install the
correct Soap nozzle (black). All of the other colored
nozzles will not work for detergent application.
6. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work your way
down, making sure to overlap your strokes.

IMPORTANT!
NEVER USE:
• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the
cleaning surface.
Shutting down
1. Turn the switch to the OFF/0 position and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
2. Turn off the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. Disconnect the garden hose from the water inlet on
the unit.
5. Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the
trigger gun handle.
