WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 16 - 17.
As sold, this unit is designed for use with "downstream"
pressure washer detergents. To convert for use with
"upstream" detergents, contact an authorized customer
service center for more information.
USE ONLY DETERGENTS DESIGNED FOR PRESSURE
WASHERS; Do not use household detergents, acids,
alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or
industrial grade solutions, which can damage the pump.
Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare
cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle. Always
test in an inconspicuous area before beginning.
 If the detergent injection hose is uninstalled, push the
open end of the hose securely over the pump's fitting.
 Remove the cap from the detergent container and place
the detergent injection hose with filter in the container.
NOTE: The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which
usually allows the use of 1 gallon pressure washer
detergent without further dilution. Check your detergent
instructions to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.
 Install the blue soap nozzle on the spray wand.
 Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds
for the detergent to appear.
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
 Place the detergent injection hose in a bucket of clean
water.
 Flush for 1-2 minutes (spray clear water through the spray
wand).
 Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve
pressure in the system. Pull trigger to release water
pressure.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
 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.
 Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the
nozzle storage area on the machine.
 Select the right nozzle for the job. See the chart on the
previous page for selecting the appropriate nozzle.
NOTE: If detergent injection hose is installed, remove
before rinsing.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
OPERATION
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 18.
NOTE: Never lift or carry this product using the moving
handle and never place the unit in any position other than
upright on its wheels.
 Turn the pressure washer off.
 Tilt the machine toward you slightly until it balances on
the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position.
Do not tilt forward or sideways when moving.
 DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling on any of
the hoses.
USING PUMP PROTECTOR
See Figure 19.
Regular use of a commercially available pump protector
prolongs the life of the pressure washer by removing hard
water mineral deposits, lubricating pump seals and pistons,
and preventing freeze damage. Pump protector should
be added to the unit after every use and before storage.
Pump protector can be purchased at the retailer where you
purchased your pressure washer, or by calling customer
service.
The instructions below are for G-Protect Pump Protector.
For other brands, follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
 Turn engine off and disconnect garden hose and high
pressure hose.
 Unscrew threaded top from pump protector bottle and
remove paper seal from bottle. Reinstall top on bottle and
tighten securely.
NOTE: The rubber seal should remain inside the threaded
top. If it comes out, be sure to replace before reinstalling
the top.
 Remove bottle cap and attach threaded end of bottle
securely to pressure washer pump water intake.
 Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.
 With engine still off, pull starter rope to cycle pump, then
squeeze bottle again to guarantee complete coverage.
 Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump
outlet.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Specific modifications are needed for high-altitude operation
for equipment operating in altitudes greater than 3000 feet
above sea level. Please contact your authorized service center
for important information regarding these modifications.
Operating this engine without the proper altitude modification
may increase the engine's emissions and decrease fuel
economy and performance.
