WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the
engine, relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle,
and locking the lock out on the trigger handle. Never point
the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-connect
feature contains small springs that could eject the nozzle
with some force. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in an eye injury or other serious personal injury.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
 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.
 Pull back the quick-connect collar.
 Push the nozzle into place in the spray wand.
 Push the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured
properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the
cleaning job is complete:
 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.
 Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar.
 Remove the nozzle by pulling it from the quick-connect
collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top
of the machine.
USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING:
Injection hazard. Fully unwrap and straighten high
pressure hose prior to and during each use and do
not allow it to become kinked. The high pressure hose
features an outer covering that provides strength to the
hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, stop using
the hose and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged
hose can develop a high pressure leak and result in a
possible injection or other serious personal injury.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
 Inspect the hose before every use.
 Fully unwrap and straighten the hose before use.
 Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.
 Keep the hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.
 Do not pull the unit by the high pressure hose.
 Do not allow the hose to be crushed or wrapped around
objects.
OPERATION
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 14 - 16.
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.
NOTICE:
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
or cause property damage. 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.
 Push the open end of the clear detergent injection hose
securely over the fitting as shown.
NOTE: Keep hose away from hot surfaces.
 Remove the cap from the detergent container and place
the detergent injection hose with filter into 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.
 Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the
bucket is empty.
 If any soap remains in the spray, repeat with a second
bucket of clean water.
 Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting off 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.
