earlier in the manual to select the appropriate nozzle.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
USING PUMP PROTECTOR
See Figure 17.
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 that follow are typical for adding pump
protector but you should always verify the specific instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.
 Turn off the pressure washer motor and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Disconnect garden hose and high-pressure hose.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off motor, wait for all moving parts to stop, discon-
nect unit from power supply, and pull trigger to release
water pressure. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in serious personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
OPERATION
 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.
 Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump
outlet.

the two brackets on the back of the unit.
To secure the power cord in place, flip the bracket to the
