gun and high pressure outlet. Turn on water.

Electric Pressure Washer Rinsing
1. Remove black detergent spray tip from wand.
2. Install yellow spray tip.
3. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to
spray.
WARNING Risk of kickback.
Spray gun could kickback causing you to fall
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Operate the electric pressure washer from a
stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the electric
pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding, or any
other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using
power spray modes to avoid injury when spray gun
kicks back.
4. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check surface for damage. If no damage is found, you
can assume it is okay to continue rinsing.
5. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.
Other Cleaning Tips
• NEVER leave the electric pressure washer unattended
while it is plugged into an electrical outlet and while
water is supplied to the equipment.
• If you have the spray tip too far away from the surface
being washed, the cleaning may not be as effective.
