Pressure Washer Operating Features
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. 19)
The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve
op ti mum pres sure and cleaning. If you need to lower the
pres sure, it can be accomplished by these meth ods.
1.
Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The
further away you are, the less the pressure will be on
the surface to be cleaned.
2.
Change to the 40˚ nozzle (white). This nozzle
delivers a less powerful stream of water and a wider spray pattern. Refer to How To Use Spray Wand.
3.
This pressure washer's high pressure pump is equipped with an additional feature that allows the
pressure setting to be adjusted.
To lower the pressure, turn the pressure control knob on the pump counterclockwise to the desired
pressure.
To return the pump pressure to the factory setting, turn the pressure control knob on the pump
clockwise until it stops.
DO NOT overtighten the pressure control knob, if overtightened the knob COULD break and
result in immediate loss of water pressure and costly repairs to the unit.

The high pressure spray from your pressure washer is
capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass,
automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as flowers and
shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is
strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray.
