For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
SELECTING THE RIGHT QUICk-CONNECT
NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 13 - 14.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray
pattern. The nozzle patterns are: 40˚ (for gentle rinse), 25˚
(for general purpose or large surfaces), 15˚ (for tough jobs),
0˚ (for spot cleaning or high hard-to-reach areas), and the
Soap Blaster nozzle (for long and short range detergent
™
application).
WARNING:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock out on
the trigger handle and NEVER point the wand at your
face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains
small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force.
Failure to heed this may cause personal injury.
Using the quick-connect collar, changing nozzles is easy.
To connect a nozzle to the trigger handle:
 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.
 Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it clicks
in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle 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.
 Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the quick-connect collar. Place nozzle in the
nozzle storage area on the top of the machine.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 15 - 16.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
 Remove the cap from the detergent container and pour
detergent in the container. Replace cap on container.
 Install the Soap Blaster
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.

NOTE: To use a detergent bottle, open the detergent container
cap. Next, remove the filter from the end of the injection hose
then slide the hose out of the cap. Place the injection hose
filter back on the hose and place the hose in the bottom of
the bottle.
For long range detergent application:
With the Soap Blaster
and the engine shut off, pull the nozzle up until it clicks into
place.
For short range detergent application:
With the Soap Blaster
and the engine turned off, push the Soap Blaster
down as far as it will go.
Before shutting off the engine:
 Place the 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 top of the machine.
 Select the right nozzle for the job:
• Use medium pressure nozzle (green) for items such as
a car or boat.
• Use higher pressure nozzle for jobs such as stripping
paint and degreasing the driveway. When using these
nozzles, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 17.
NOTE: Never lift or carry this product using the moving
handle.
 Turn the pressure washer off.
 Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels
then roll the machine to the desired position.
