ADJUSTING FAN PATTERN
The angle of spray coming out of the lance
may be adjusted on some lances by rotating
the nozzle. This will vary the spray pattern
from approximately a 0˚ narrow high impact
stream to a 60˚ wide fan spray. (See Figure 2.)
A narrow stream has high impact force on the
cleaning surface and results in maximum deep
cleaning in a concentrated area. However, this
narrow high impact spray must be used cautiously, as it may damage some surfaces.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact
of the water over a larger area, resulting in
excellent cleaning action with a reduced risk

of surface damage. Large surface areas can be
cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.
ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE NOZZLE
(NOT INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS)
The adjustable pressure nozzle allows you to
vary the pressure of your spray by turning the
blue end of the nozzle. Turning the blue end
fully clockwise will reduce the pressure to its
minimum. If the pressure washer has a detergent tank system you must use this minimum
pressure setting in order to suction detergent.
Turning the blue end fully counter-clockwise
will increase the pressure to its maximum for
greatest cleaning efficiency. Turning the blue
end changes the pressure but not the fan pattern.
NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can
cause a significant reduction of water coming
out of the nozzle and cause the unit to pulsate
while spraying.
To clean out the nozzle:
•Turn off and unplug unit.
•Turn off water supply. Relieve any pressure
trapped in the hose by squeezing trigger 2-3
times.
• Separate lance from gun.
• Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting.
This opens up the fan blades.
• Using included tip cleaner, or an un-folded
paper clip, insert wire into the nozzle hole
and move back and forth until debris is dislodged. (See Figure 7.)
• Remove additional debris by back-flushing
water through the nozzle. To do this, place
end of a garden hose (with water running) to
end of nozzle for
30 – 60 seconds.
ANGLE TO THE CLEANING SURFACE
When spraying water against a surface, maximum impact is generated when the water
strikes the surface “head on." However, this
type of impact tends to cause dirt particles to
imbed in the surface, thereby preventing the
desired cleaning action.
The optimum angle for spraying water against
a cleaning surface is 45 degrees.

Spraying water against a surface at this angle
provides for the most beneficial impact force
combined with efficient removal of debris from
the surface.
DISTANCE FROM CLEANING SURFACE
Another factor that determines the impact force
of the water is the distance from the spray nozzle to the cleaning surface. The impact force of
the water is increased as the nozzle is moved
closer to the surface.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING SURFACES
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs because the
impact force of the water exceeds the durability
of the surface. The impact force can be varied by
controlling the three previously noted items.
Never use a narrow high impact stream or a
turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying windows with a
narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle as
this may cause breakage. The surest way to avoid
damaging surfaces is to follow these steps:
1.Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to
a wide fan pattern.
2.Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet from
and 45 degrees to the cleaning surface, and
trigger the gun.
3.Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance to the cleaning surface until optimum
cleaning efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface.
TURBO NOZZLE (NOT INCLUDED WITH
ALL MODELS)
A turbo nozzle, sometimes referred to as a rotary
nozzle, is a very effective tool that can significantly reduce cleaning time. The turbo nozzle
combines the power of a narrow high impact
stream and the efficiency of a 25 degree fan pattern. This swirls the narrow high impact stream
into a cone shape that cleans a larger area.
Caution: Since a turbo nozzle uses a narrow
high impact stream, only use it in applications
where the cleaning surface cannot be damaged
by narrow high impact spray. Additionally, the
turbo nozzle is NOT adjustable and cannot be
used to apply detergent.
DETERGENTS
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce
cleaning time and assist in the removal of difficult stains. Some detergents have been customized for pressure washer use on specific
cleaning tasks. These detergents are approximately as thick as water. The use of thicker
detergents, such as dish soap, will clog the chemical injection system and prevent the application
of the detergent.
The cleaning power of detergents comes from
applying them to a surface and giving the chemicals time to break down the dirt and grime.
Detergents work best when applied at low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and high
pressure rinsing is very effective. On vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the bottom
and work your way upward. This will prevent the
detergent from sliding down and causing
streaks. High pressure rinsing should also
progress from the bottom to top. On particularly
tough stains, it may be necessary to use a brush
in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
Pressure Washers
Operation
The following cleaning procedure will help you
to organize your cleaning task, and ensure that
you achieve the most beneficial results in the
shortest amount of time. Remember to use the
spraying/ cleaning techniques previously listed.
Before starting a pressure washer cleaning job, it
is important to prepare the surface that is to be
cleaned. This is done by clearing the area of furniture, and making sure that all windows and
1. Surface Preparation
-

doors are closed tight. In addition, you should
make sure that all plants and trees adjacent to
the cleaning area are protected by a drop cloth.
This will ensure that your plants won’t be
sprayed by the detergents.
The next step is to spray the cleaning surface
with water to clear off any dirt or grime that
may have collected on the surface. This will allow
your detergent to attack the deep down dirt
that has worked its way into the cleaning surface. Before triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a wide fan pattern and slowly adjust to
the desired spray pattern. This will help you
avoid applying too much concentrated spray to
the surface which could cause damage.
USE THE INSTRUCTIONS APPROPRIATE
FOR MODEL PURCHASED
NOTE: Use only detergents formulated for pres-
sure washers.
NOTE: Test detergent in an inconspicuous area
before use.
Follow manufacturer's label directions for mixing
correct concentrations of soap/detergents. The
soap/detergent to water ratio through the pressure washer is approximately 5.4% (1 to 19).
MODELS WITHOUT DETERGENT TANK
1.Unscrew top of detergent applicator and fill
applicator with detergent.
2.Replace top on applicator.
3.Remove lance from gun.
4.Attach detergent applicator to gun. (See Figure
11.)
5.For detergent applicators that fit on end of
lance, turn lance to obtain wide fan pattern.
(Deter
gent suction will not work when
lance is adjusted to provide a narrow pattern.) Connect applicator to end of lance.
Make sure connection is secured correctly. (See

DISTANCIA DE LA SUPERFICIE DE
LIMPIEZA
Otro factor que determina la fuerza de impacto
del agua es la distancia entre la boquilla de rocia-
do y la superficie de limpieza. La fuerza de
impacto del agua aumenta a medida que se acer-
ca la boquilla a la superficie.
CÓMO EVITAR EL DAÑO A LAS
SUPERFICIES
El daño a las superficies de limpieza ocurre
debido a que la fuerza de impacto del agua
excede la durabilidad de la superficie. La fuerza
de impacto puede variarse controlando los tres
puntos ya mencionados. Nunca use un chorro
angosto de alto impacto o una boquilla
turbo/rotativa sobre una superficie susceptible al
daño. Evite rociar las ventanas con un chorro
angosto de alto impacto o con una boquilla
turbo, pues puede ocasionar roturas. La manera
más segura de evitar el daño a las superficies es
seguir estos pasos:
1. Antes de presionar el gatillo de la pistola,
ajuste la boquilla a un patrón en abanico
ancho.
2. Coloque la boquilla aproximadamente de 4 a
5 pies de la superficie de limpieza y en ángulo
de 45 grados con la misma, y presione el gatil-
lo.
3. Varíe el ángulo de rociado en abanico y la dis-
tancia a la superficie de limpieza, hasta lograr
una óptima eficiencia de limpieza sin dañar la
superficie.

6.Apply detergent so it thoroughly covers cleaning surface. Apply from bottom to top to prevent detergent from sliding down and streaking.
7.Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a
few minutes. This is a good time to use a
brush to lightly scrub heavily soiled areas.
Never allow detergent to dry on the cleaning
surface.
8.Remove detergent applicator from gun and
replace with the lance, or remove applicator
from end of lance.
9.Rinse detergent from surface.
Note: Flush detergent applicator with clear
water following each use.
Follow manufacturer's label directions for mixing
correct concentrations of soap/detergents. The
soap/detergent to water ratio through the pressure washer is approximately 12% (1 to 8).
MODELS THAT DO NOT USE A DETERGENT
APPLICATOR
1.Remove cap from detergent tank and pour in
pressure washer detergent. Replace cap.
2.Turn OFF/ON switch to the ON position.
3.Slide nozzle to low pressure position (See
Figure 13.) and apply detergent so that it
thoroughly covers the cleaning surface.
Apply detergent from bottom to top to prevent
the detergent from sliding down and streaking.
Wait a couple of minutes for the detergent to
break down dirt and grime. This is a good time
to use a brush to lightly scrub heavily soiled
areas. Never allow detergent to dry on cleaning
surface.
IMPORTANT: Unit will only apply detergent
when adjustable nozzle is used and nozzle is in
low pressure position.
•Detergent injection may not work with extension hose or replacement hoses longer than 25
feet.
4.To rinse or return to high pressure, release trigger and slide nozzle to high pressure position.
Never slide nozzle from low
to high or high to low pressure when
gun is triggered.
Start final rinse at bottom and work upward.
Make sure you thoroughly rinse the surface and
that all detergent has been removed.
1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from system.
2.Turn off motor.
3.Turn off water supply.
4.After motor and water supply are turned off,
trigger gun to depressurize system.
NEVER turn water supply
off before turning motor off. Serious
damage could occur to the pump and/or
motor.
NEVER disconnect high
pressure discharge hose from machine

TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER
1.Never operate unit without water.
2.Pressure washer is not meant to pump hot
water. Never connect to hot water supply –
this will significantly reduce life of the pump.
3.Using detergents other than Campbell
Hausfeld's brand may cause damage to pump
components (o-rings, seals, etc.). This also
applies to chemicals such as bleach, dish soap,
etc.
4.Never operate unit for more than one (1)
minute without spraying water. Resulting heat
buildup will damage pump.
5.Before adjusting nozzle for pressure (high-tolow or low-to-high) release trigger. Failure to
do so will reduce life of o-rings in lance.

PELIGRO
Pre-Operación
AJUSTE DEL PATRÓN DE ROCIADO EN
ABANICO
El ángulo de rociado que sale de la lanza se
puede graduar en algunas lanzas girando la
boquilla. Esto hará variar el patrón de rociado
desde aproximadamente un chorro angosto de
alto impacto de 0o hasta un abanico de rociado
de 600 de ancho (ver figura 2)
Un chorro angosto tiene una fuerza de alto
impacto sobre la superficie de limpieza y da
como resultado una limpieza máxima profunda
en una zona concentrada. Sin embargo, este
chorro angosto de alto impacto debe usarse con
precaución, pues puede dañar algunas superfi-
cies.
Un patrón en "abanico" ancho distribuye el
impacto del agua sobre un área mayor, lo que da
como resultado una excelente acción de limpieza
