OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER

ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when operating Pressure
Washers. Spray can splash back or propel objects, including
incorrectly attached accessories.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut
through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when the motor
is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
1. For your protection, wear the protective safety glasses (provided).
2. Place the Pressure Washer near the working surface.
Make sure that the water source is turned on and all connections
to the Pressure Washer and Spray Gun are secure and without any water leakage.
3. Carefully remove the gun from its holder.
4. Hold the gun securely with both hands. Point the gun in a
safe direction. Make sure that the gun safety (the button
above the trigger) is unlocked and squeeze the trigger to
allow any air that is trapped inside the unit and hoses to
escape. Continue to squeeze the trigger until a steady
stream of water comes from the nozzle.
5. Turn on the ON/Off switch on the front of the Pressure
Washer. NOTE: Motor does not start until trigger is pulled.

6. Point the gun in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger
to start motor and water flow.
Make sure wand is
SECURELY tightened to Gun. If the wand is not
securely locked into place, it could be ejected
under high pressure when operating the gun,
possibly causing injury or damage.

WATER FLOW ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTING FOR FAN PATTERN
The angle of spray coming out of the nozzle may be adjusted by rotating the front
of the nozzle (cone). This will vary the spray pattern from approximately a 0°
narrow high impact stream (by turning the nozzle fully to the left) to a 60° wide fan
spray (by turning the nozzle fully to the right).
A narrow stream has high impact force on the cleaning surface and results in max-
imum deep cleaning in a concentrated area. However, this narrow high impact spray
must be used cautiously, as it may damage some surfaces.
A wide fan pattern will distribute the impact of the water over a larger area, result-
ing in excellent cleaning action with a reduced risk of surface damage. Large
surface areas can be cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.

ADJUSTING FOR PRESSURE

The Adjustable Pressure Nozzle allows you to vary the pressure of your spray by
turning the end of the nozzle (collar). Turning the collar fully to the right will reduce
the pressure to its minimum. If the Pressure Washer has a detergent tank system
you must use this minimum pressure setting in order to suction detergent.
Turning the collar fully to the left will increase the pressure to its maximum for great-
est cleaning efficiency. Turning the collar changes the pressure but not the fan pattern.
Detergent will NOT flow until the Pressure Adjust Collar is
set (turned) to low pressure position.
USING THE SPRAY WAND
To prevent damage to your surface and to select an appro-
priate working pressure for your application, always start with lowest pressure
setting and continue increasing the pressure until the best work result is
achieved.

USAGE TIPS:

• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 8 to 24 inches away from
cleaning surface.
