OPERATION

OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 12.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers. Many
detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning
solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
To clean:
 Pour detergent in the detergent tank.
 Install the blue or black soap nozzle on the spray wand.
 Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on
a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To
prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the
surface.
To rinse:
 Using the 25˚ nozzle, spray away from the rinsing surface
for approximately 10 seconds to allow any remaining
detergent to be flushed from the line.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
 Turn the pressure washer off. Point nozzle in a safe direc-
tion and pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Raise the handle up until the buttons click into the holes
on the handle.
 Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels
then roll the machine to the desired position.
 DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling on any of
the hoses.
