cleaning. The adjustable fan jet wand allows you to adjust the
spray pattern for various high pressure applications.
Usage Tips
• For most effective cleaning, keep nozzle from 8 to 24 inches
away from cleaning surface.
• If you get nozzle too close, especially using a high pressure
setting, you may damage surface being cleaned.
• Do Not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.

Electric Pressure Washer Rinsing

1. Remove foam lance from wand.
2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to spray.
WARNING Risk of kickback.
• Operate the electric pressure washer from a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the electric pressure
washer from a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar
location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using power
spray modes to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
3. 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.
4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with same
overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.
Other Cleaning Tips
• NEVER leave the electric pressure washer unattended while
B
it is plugged into an electrical outlet and while water is
supplied to the equipment.
