Applying Detergent with the
Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage
the pump.
CAUTION
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.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of adjustable nozzles.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place filter end of chemical injection hose into
detergent container.
CAUTION
Keep the chemical injection tube from coming in contact
with the hot muffler.
• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle,
route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting
the hot muffler.
4. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode.
Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high
pressure position.
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and pump. Start engine.
6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
7. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry
on (prevents streaking).
IMPORTANT: You must flush the chemical injection
system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of
clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure
for 1-2 minutes.
