HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS operating your
pressure washer, please call the pressure washer helpline at 1-800-222-3136.
HOW TO USE THE ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
A
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 pressure. 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. o Slide the nozzle forward to adjust the spray to low
DANGERI NEVER adjust spray pattern 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 cleaning surface.
APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WITH ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
iMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage 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 bottle with handle (not included). FiII 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.
Slide nozzle backward Slide nozzle forward to place in high for tow pressure
pressure mode. mode,
Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow )attern to a fan pattern.
Twist nozzle Twist nozzle
counterclockwise for clockwise for narrow fan spray pattern, spray pattern.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
* Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to tow pressure
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 solution to work. Reapply as needed to prevent surface from
drying. 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 '%0
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 overlapping strokes.
Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reappty as needed to prevent surface from drying.
RiNSiNG WiTH THE PRESSURE WASHER
WARNING Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively unstable location. Pressure in a running
washer builds in the wand as you climb.
When you press the trigger, the recoil
from the initial spray could force you to fall, or if you are too close to the 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 }(NOB ....
Located on the pump is a pressure control knob, You can increase and decrease the pressure of the spray by turning 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 effectiveness of the high pressure spray, Attach the
turbo nozzle 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 the high pressure spray.
HOW TO USE THE ROTATING BRUSH
Your pressure washer comes equipped with a rotating brush. Use the 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 rotating brush, attach the accessory adapter to the
nozzle extension,
o After attaching the accessories adapter onto the
nozzle extension, attach nozzle extension onto
spay gun,
Note: The rotating brush operates in low pressure
setting allowing you to dispense chemical with the brush.
