HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS operating your pres
sure washer, pleas© call the pressure washer helpline
at 1-800-222-3136.
DANGER! NEVER adjust spray pattern
A
HOW TO USE THE ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
One of the nozzles you can attach to the nozzle
extension is the adjustable nozzle. You can slide the
adjustable nozzle forward and backward to adjust the
spray pattern to be either high pressure or low pres
sure. You can also twist the adjustable nozzle from
side to side to adjust the spray so it is concentrated
in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan pattern.
® Slide the nozzle forward to adjust the spray to low
when spraying. NEVER put hands In front
of spray nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
You could be injured.
pressure mode. Slide the nozzle backward to
achieve high pressure.
® If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the clean
ing surface.
APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WITH
ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could dam
age the pump.
IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses before you
start the engine. Starting the engine without all the
hoses connected and without the water turned ON
will damage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
® Prepare the detergent solution as required by the
job. (For the enclosed bottles of detergent, add
the 8 ounces of chemical to a 1 gallon plastic bot
tle with handle (not included). Fill the rest of the
bottle with water.)
«> Hang the detergent solution on the “J” hook on
the wire form on the guide handle.
® Place small filter on the chemical injection tube
into the detergent container.
to place In high pres
sure mode.
Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from
a narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
clockwise for fan
spray pattern.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning sur
face.
for low pressure
mode.
clockwise for narrow
spray pattern.
“ Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pres
sure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with
nozzle In high pressure position.
Note: The first step involves applying an appropriate
detergent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen
grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to
avoid splashing, overspraying and waste. Leave the
solution on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solu
tion to work.
Note: The second step involves cleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressure washer and
then rinsing it clean,
® Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
® Connect garden hose to water inlet (see ‘TO
START PRESSURE WASHER”), check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump (see ASSEMBLY), and start engine.
® For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even over
lapping strokes.
= Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 min
utes before washing and rinsing.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
WARNING Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from ladder, scaf
folding or any otiier relatively unstable loca
tion. Pressure in a running washer builds in
the wand as you climb. When you press the
trigger, tiie recoil from the initial spray could
force you to fall, or if you are too close to tire
cleaning surface, high pressure could force
you off a climbing apparatus.
» Hook up the water supply and start your pressure
washer {see TO START THE PRESSURE WASHER).
• Slide adjustable nozzle back to high pressure position
and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow
when in the high pressure mode,
® When detergent has cleared you may want to expand
the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action.
Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same action as for cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing siphon from bottle.
HOW TO USE ADJUST PRESSURE USING
THE PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB
Located on the pump Is a pressure control knob. You can
increase and decrease the pressure of the spray by turn
ing the knob clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.
, The knob is set at maximum pressure at the factory.
HOW TO USE THE TURBO NOZZLE.
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a
rapid circular pattern. This increases the cleaning effec
tiveness of the high pressure spray. Attach the turbo noz
zle on the end of the nozzle extension.
The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of
the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface
being cleaned.
Important: The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high
pressure spray which is capable of removing paint and
cutting holes through surfaces if held too close. Always
make sure the surface you will clean will not be damaged
by fie high pressure spray.
HOW TO USE THE ROTATING BRUSH
Your pressure washer comes equipped with a rotating
brush. Use fie brush to clean especially dirty surfaces. It
is a soft bristle brush with feathered ends that will not
scratch surfaces.
To connect the rotating brush to the spray gun:
<* Attach the accessory adapter to the rotating brush.
• After attaching the accessories adapter onto the rotat
ing brush, attach the accessory adapter to fie nozzle
extension.
® After attaching the accessories adapter onto the noz
zle extension, attach nozzle extension onto spay gun.
Note: The rotating brush operates in low pressure
setting allowing you to dispense chemical with the
brush.
BEFORE STARTING THE PRESSURE WASHER
TO START YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
To operate the engine you will need to do the tjiowing:
ADD ENGINE OIL
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF or SG rated SAE 30 weight.
Use no special additives.
® Place pressure washer on a level surface
® Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
® Wipe dipstick clean.
® Pour oil from enclosed bottle into the oil fill opening
until oil reaches FULL mark on the dipstick. Stop and
check the oil level periodically. DO NOT OVERFILL.
® Install oil dipstick, hand tighten securely.
Check oil level often during engine break in.
ADD GASOLINE
« Use fresh, clean, unleaded regular, unleaded pre
mium, or reformulated automotive gasoline only.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
DANGER! NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine Is run
ning or hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or
smoke when filling the fuel tank.
DANGER! Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Always leave room for fuel expansion.
Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and
equipment before starting engine
Note: Do not use gasoline containing methanol (wood
alcohol). Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol or grain
alcohol (“Gasohol”), or up to 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary
Butyl Ether), may be used but requires special care when
engine is unused for extended periods.
You have assembled your high pressure washer and
have prepared the engine for starting. You are now ready
to clean your car, boat or whatever you plan to clean.
® Place the pressure washer in an area close enough
to an outside water source that can flow at a rate of at
least 2.2 gallons per minute. Connect a garden hose
to the water spout.
® Check that the high pressure hose is tightly connect
ed to the spray gun and to the pump. See ASSEM
BLY section for illustrations.
® Pull back on the locking collar to remove the female
quick-connect from pump.
