twenty degree (20°) spray angle be used
to avoid damage to the surface being
sprayed.
NOTE: The pressure of the spray on the surface you
are cleaning increases as you move the wand closer
to the surface.
To increase angle of fan spray, turn black tip counterclockwise.
To decrease angle to pencil point spray, turn black
tip clockwise.
5.3 USE OF DETERGENT
1. Remove wand. (Fig.21) See page 14.
2. Unscrew soap lance from bottle and make sure
that the detergent suction tube is properly attached.
(Fig.22) See page 15.
3. Install soap dispenser assembly. (Fig. 23)
4. The soap or wax will automatically be mixed with
the water and discharged through the soap lance.
5.4 CLEANING TECHNIQUES
When cleaning with the pressure washer, many cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most
tasks it is advantageous to use detergent. A detergent
ensures a quick soaking of the dirt allowing the high
pressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more
effectively.
APPLICATION OF DETERGENT
1. Apply the pressure washer soap solution to a DRY
work surface. NOTE: WETTING THE SURFACE
FIRST IS NOT RECOMMENDED, AS IT DILUTES
THE DETERGENT AND REDUCES ITS CLEANING
ABILITY. On a vertical surface, apply soap horizontally from side to side starting from the bottom
to avoid streaking.
CAUTION: Avoid working on hot
surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize
WARNING
the chance of soap damage to painted
surfaces.
2. Allow the soap to remain on the surface for a
short time before rinsing. Check detergent bottle
instructions.
CAUTION: Damage may occur to painted surface if
soap is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse
a small section at a time.
3. Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a
vertical surface, first rinse from the bottom up, then
rinse from the top down. Hold nozzle 6 to 8 inches
from the work surface at a 45° angle.
APPLICATION OF LIQUID VEHICLE WAX
1. Immediately after cleaning, apply liquid vehicle
wax using the soap dispenser assembly.
2. Apply the wax sparingly in an even layer. Apply
to wet surfaces from the bottom up for even distribution and to avoid streaking.
3. Remove the suction tube from the wax bottle and
rinse off the surplus wax from your vehicle under
low pressure. NOTE – IF SURPLUS WAX IS NOT
REMOVED, A HAZY FINISH MAY RESULT.
4. Wipe dry to reduce water spotting.
5.5 END OF OPERATION
When you have completed use of the soap/wax application, remove soap lance from detergent bottle and
flush clean water through the tube until it is thoroughly
cleaned.
NOTE: Failure to clean properly will cause the injection
system to become clogged and inoperable.
Press power switch to the “OFF” position to stop the
machine. (Fig.18)
Disconnect GFCI plug.
Turn off water and depressurize unit by squeezing
trigger.
WARNING: Turn off water supply and
squeeze trigger to depressurize the unit.
WARNING
Failure to do so could result in personal
injury due to discharge of high pressure
water.
Disconnect the high pressure hose and the garden
hose.
5.6 HOSE REEL KIT
Insert the high pressure hose nut coupler (Fig.24) into
the slot in the hose reel.
Hold the hose firmly into the slot. At the same time,
turn handle in the direction shown (Fig. 25). Allow
hose to slide through hand applying slight resistance
for proper coiling.
Stop winding hose 2 ft. (60 cm) from gun to provide
enough slack to store gun in holder located on the
docking station. See page 6, #27 for storage location.

English
6.0 MAINTENANCE
6.1 CONNECTIONS
Connections on pressure washer hoses, gun and spray
wand should be cleaned regularly and lubricated with
light oil or non-water soluble grease to prevent leakage
and damage to the o-rings.
6.2 NOZZLE
Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to be
too high and cleaning is immediately required.
1. Clear the nozzle by forcing a stiff wire through
center hole.
2. Backflush the nozzle with water.
3. Reconnect the nozzle to the wand.
6.3 LUBRICATION
The pressure washer is designed with a permanent
lubrication system. Conventional oil check and oil
changes are not necessary.
NOTE: IN CASE OF OIL LEAKAGE, CONTACT THE
CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONCERNING
REPAIR. A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL LEAKAGE IS
NORMAL. www.huskypowerwasher.com.
6.4 WATER SCREEN
The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet
screen filter to protect the pump.
CAUTION: If the screen is not kept clean,

vent any foreign matter from entering the pump.
6.5 COOLING SYSTEM
The air vents, located in and around the pressure
washer, must be kept clean and free of any obstructions to ensure proper air cooling of the motor during
operation.
WARNING: Prevent water from penetrating the vents of the pressure washer
WARNING
to minimize the risk of damage to the
machine and to reduce the risk of shock
to the operator.
7.0 SERVICING A DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCE
In a double-insulated product, two systems
of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor
to the pressure washer. Servicing a double-insulated
product requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system, and should be done only by qualified service
personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated product
must be identical to the parts they replace. A doubleinsulated product is marked with the words “DOUBLEINSULATION” or “DOUBLE-INSULATED”. The symbol
above may also be marked on the product.
