quick coupler. Lock coupler securely into place by
pulling back coupler collar and inserting it onto discharge nipple, then pushing collar forward to lock in
place.
3. Attach wand to spray gun using teflon tape on threads
to prevent leakage.

into a grounded type of receptacle of proper voltage
and amperage reading. Then push GFCI reset button at end of power cord if required.

and check for leaks.
5. With spray nozzle pointed away from you or anybody else, pull trigger on spray gun to obtain pressurized spray.
GENERAL WASHING
TECHNIQUES
Hold spray nozzle approximately one foot from the surface being cleaned. Spray at an angle to get under the
material and lift it off.
When washing large objects, use detergent injector to
apply detergent (see section “How to Use the Detergent
Injector”). Start washing from the bottom and work up.
Better detergent economy and faster results will be
obtained by allowing the detergent to set 5-10 minutes.
After washing, rinse from the top down.
Cleaning heavy dirt or material away with a hard stream
of clear water is recommended before using a cleaning
agent.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
1. Rinse all lines (and injector) with clean water, to remove any soap residue.
2. Turn power switch to OFF position.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. Open spray gun to relieve remaining pressure.
5. Remove water supply hose.
6. In freezing conditions, disconnect water supply and
open spray gun to allow water to drain, then turn off
motor.
CAUTION: Do not allow pump to run longer than 5
minutes without water. Disconnect all hoses to allow water to drain.
CAUTION: With machine off, open spray gun to
release pressure before removing discharge hose.
