• If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may
damage surface being cleaned.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
SHUTTING DOWN THE PRESSURE WASHER
The Pressure Washer motor runs only when the trigger is engaged. To shut off the
Pressure Washer:
1. Release spray gun trigger.
2. Move unit's ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
IMPORTANT: Releasing the trigger will shut off the motor but does not shut off elec-
trical power to the unit.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction and squeeze spray gun trigger to
relieve built up pressure in the unit.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when motor is
stopped and water is disconnected.
5. Engage trigger lock on spray gun when not in use. Place the gun in its holder
on the side of the unit.
6. Disconnect GFCI plug from outlet and coil power cord.

USAGE OF CLEANING DETERGENTS

TO APPLY DETERGENT:
1. Select a detergent/cleanser appropriate for the intended application.
2. Prepare detergent solution as recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Remove the detergent tank lid located at the top of the Pressure Washer.
4. Fill tank with prepared detergent solution. A small funnel may help with this
task. Replace the detergent tank lid.
5. Set (turn) the Pressure Adjust Collar to low pressure position.
Detergent will NOT flow until the Pressure Adjust Collar is
set (turned) to low pressure position.
6. Pull spray gun trigger and apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower por-
tion of area to be washed and work upward, using long, even, overlapping strokes.

Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it dilutes
the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
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 surface (prevents streaking).
TO RINSE:
1. Reset the Pressure Adjust Collar to high pressure, press the trigger and wait for
the detergent to clear.
2. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you plan to spray.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, and then check the surface for
damage. If no damage is found, it is okay to continue cleaning.
4. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down with same overlapping
strokes as you used for washing and applying detergent.
When you have completed use of the detergent injection system, continue to run in
low pressure position and flush clean water through the detergent tank until it is
thoroughly cleaned.
Failure to clean properly will cause the injection system to
become clogged and inoperable.
Stop the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Disconnect electrical plug.
Turn off water and depressurize unit by squeezing trigger.

CLEANING TIPS:

• Never leave the Pressure Washer unattended while it is plugged into an electri-
cal outlet and while water is supplied to the equipment.
• Never use the Pressure Washer water inlet to siphon detergent or wax.
• If you have the nozzle too far away from the surface being washed, the cleaning
will not be as effective.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning.
Regular maintenance will improve performance and extend life of Pressure Washer.
