WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or
ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting or poisoning. The
harmful elements may cause
property damage or severe
injury.
STep 1: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump. Prepare detergent solution as required by the
manufacturer . Fill a container with
pressure washer detergent. Place
the filter end of detergent suction

the Y ellow nozzle.
STep 3: With the motor running, pull trigger to operate machine. Liquid detergent
is drawn into the machine and mixed with w ater . Apply
detergent to work area. Do not allow detergent to dry
on surface.
IMPORT ANT : Y ou must flush the detergent injection
system after each use by placing the suction tube
into a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure
washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.
9.801-262.0 • Shark CB • Rev. 5/13
TheRmal pUmp pROTeCTION
If you run your pressure washer f or 2 min utes without
pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water
in the pump can reach high temperatures. When the
water reaches this temperature, the pump protector
engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm
water onto the ground. This thermal device prevents
internal damage to the pump.
CleaNINg TIpS
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place
detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution
and apply to surface at low pressure (for best results,
limit your work area to sections approximately 6’ square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface appears
to be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water .
If needed, use brush to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at
high pressure from top to bottom in an even s weeping
motion keeping the spray nozzle appro ximately 1' from
cleaning surface. Use ov erlapping strokes as you clean
and rinse any surface. For best surf ace cleaning action
spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
These chemicals will harm the machine and will damage the surface being cleaned.
RINSINg
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Remove black soap
nozzle from the quick coupler. Select and install the
desired high pressure nozzle. NOTe: Y ou can also stop
detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent
siphon tube from bottle.
