you how to adjust the spray pattern andto apply detergent
or other cleaning chemicals.
6.
Position nozzle in low pressure mode (see"How to
Use the Adjustable Nozzle") and squeezetrigger on
spray gun to relieve air pressure caused by turning ON
water.Water will flow out of spray gun in a thin
stream. Continue to hold trigger until there is a steady
stream of water and no air remains in system.This wilt
make it easier to pull start engine.Releasetrigger.
CAUTION
NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying.
NEVER put handsin front of nozzle to adiust spray pattern.

5. If you get spray nozzle too close,especiallyusinghigh
pressure mode, you may damagesurfacebeing cleaned.
6. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaningtires.
Using the Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a
rapid circular pattern.The high pressure spray is most
effective when the tip of the nozzle extension is held
between 8 to 24 inches from the surface being cleaned.
CAUTION
Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be
damaged by the high pressure spray by testing in a hidden area.
3. Twisting nozzle adjusts spray pattern from a narrow
pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 8).
Rotate nozzle
counterclockwise for fan
spray pattern
Rotate nozzle clockwise
for narrow spray pattern
4. For most effective cleaning,keep spray nozzle from
8 to 24 inchesawayfrom cleaning surface.
To attach the turbo nozzle to the spray gun:

5.
Always start the turbo nozzle at a distance,gradually
getting closer to the surface until you get the cleaning
force you want.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with turbo nozzle.
Using the Utility Brush
The utility brush allows you to scrub surfaces with water
filtering through the bristles.
To attach the utility brush to the spray gun:

Applying Detergent with the
Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage
the pump.
CAUTION
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will damagethe pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
7. Allow detergent to "soak in"for 3-5 minutes before
washingand rinsing. Reapplyas needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry
on (prevents streaking).
IMPORTANT:You must flush the chemical injection
system after eachuse by placingthe filter into a bucket of
cleanwater, then run the pressure washer in low pressure
for I-2 minutes.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
For Rinsing:
I. Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure, pressthe
trigger and wait for the detergent to clear.
NOTE:You can also stop detergent from flowingby simply
removing chemical injection hose from bottle.
2. Keep the spraygun a safe distancefrom the area you
plan to spray.
WARNING
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
I. Reviewuse of adjustable nozzles.
2. Preparedetergent solution asrequired by job.
3. Placefilter end of chemical injection hose into
detergent container.
CAUTION
• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle,
route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertentlycontacting
the hot mufflen
4. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to lowpressure mode.
Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high
pressure position.
5. Makesure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and pump. Start engine.
6. Apply detergent to a dry surface,starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long,even,overlapping strokes.
/
Keepspray nozzle between 8 to 24 inchesawayfrom cleaning
surface.
Operate this unit on a stable surface.
Be extremely careful if you must usethe pressure washer from
a ladder,scaffolding or anyother relatively unstable location.
Firmlygrasp spraygun with both handswhen using high
pressure sprayto avoid iniuryif gun kicks bac!c
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area,then check
the surfacefor damage.If no damage isfound, it is okay
to continuecleaning.
4. Start at the top of the areato be rinsed,working
down with same overlapping strokes asyou usedfor

Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressingthe trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reachtemperatures
above 125°EThe system engagesto cool the pump by
discharging the warm water onto the ground.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The pressure washer warranty does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negEgence.To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the pressure washer as instructed in this manual
• Some adjustments witl need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
• All maintenance in this manual and the engine owner's
manual should be made at least once each season.
• Once a year you should clean or replace the spark plug,
clean or replace the air filter and check the spray gun
and adjustable nozzle extension assembly for wear.A
new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.
Please refer to your engine owner's manual for more
details.
• If equipped with inflatabletires, keep the air pressure at
the value marked on the tire or within 15 and 40 psi.
Before Each Use
I. Check engine oil level.
2. Check water inlet screen for damage.
3. Check in-line filter for damage.
4. Check high pressure hose for leaks.
5. Check chemical injectionhose and filter for damage.
6. Check spray gun and adjustable nozzle extension
assemblyfor leaks.
7. Rinseout gardenhose to flush out debris.
MAINTENANCE
Check and Clean Inlet Screen
Examinethe screen on the water inlet.Clean it if the
screen isclogged or replace it ifscreen is damaged.
Check High Pressure Hose
The high pressure hose can develop leaksfrom wear,
kinking,or abuse.Inspect the hoseeach time before using
it. Check for cuts,leaks,abrasions or bulging of cover,
damageor movement of couplings. If anyof these
conditions exist, replacethe hose immediately.
WARNING
NEVER repair high pressure hose. Replace it.
Replacement hose rating MUST exceed maximum pressure
rating of unit.
Check Chemical Injection Hose
Examinethe filter on the detergent tube and clean if
clogged.The tube should fit tightly on the barbed fitting.
Examine the tube for leaks or tears. Replace the filter or
tube if either is damaged.
Check Gun and Adjustable Nozzle
Extension
Examinethe hose connection to the spray gun and make
sure it is secure.Test the trigger by pressingit and making
sure it "springs back" into place when you releaseit. Put
the safety latch in the ON position and test the trigger.You
should not be able to press the trigger.
Purge Pump of Air and
Contaminants
To remove air from the pump, follow these steps:
I. Set up pressure washer asdescribed in"Preparing
PressureWasher For Use". Connect water supply and
turn water on.
