 Place the open end of the soap injection hose over the
barbed fitting on the pump.
 Place the filter end of the soap injection hose in the bot-
tom of the detergent bottle/container.
NOTE: The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which usu-
ally 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 5-in-1 Change-over Nozzle (if necessary). Rotate
the spray selector on the nozzle to either the blue short
range detergent ( ) or blue long range detergent ( )
setting.
 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.
For long range detergent application:
With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the long range detergent
[ ] setting.
For short range detergent application:
With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the short range deter-
gent [ ] setting.
Before shutting off the engine:
 Place the filter end of the soap 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

shown earlier in the manual for selecting the appropriate
nozzle setting.
 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 pur-
chased your pressure washer, or by calling customer service.
The instructions that follow are typical for adding pump pro-
tector but you should always verify the specific instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.
 Turn off the pressure washer engine and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 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 switch off, pull starter grip and rope to cycle
pump, then squeeze bottle again to guarantee complete
coverage.
 Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump
outlet.
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 18.
NOTE: Never lift or carry this product using the handle.
 Turn the pressure washer off.
 Tilt the machine away from you until it balances on the
wheels, then roll the machine to the desired location.
 DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling on any of
the hoses.
