EXTENSION CORDS

See Figure 1.

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two extension cords together.

NOTE: Use only G-Clean detergent in the injector. Any other solutions may damage the injector and/or your pressure washer pump.

Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.

Place pressure washer upright on a flat surface.

nUnscrew the cap from the end of the clear tube on the injector. Remove G-Clean detergent pouch from plastic bag and place into the tube, then replace the cap and tighten securely.

NOTE: Make sure the cap is securely tightened. Allowing air into the injector during use may cause damage to your pressure washer pump.

nUse the detergent dial on the G-Clean detergent injector to adjust the amount of soap used during operation.

To rinse with no detergent, turn the dial completely clockwise.

To clean, turn the detergent dial counter clockwise to desired soap level.

NOTE: If a G-Clean detergent pouch is inserted but detergent is not dispensed, check the dial to ensure that it is not turned fully clockwise. If the dial is set correctly, ensure that the detergent pouch has fully dissolved. If detergent is still not dispensed, remove the G-Clean detergent injector. Unscrew the injector head from the clear detergent container and flush the screen with water.

See Figure 14.

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.

NOTE: For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the unit at all times.
