If you used the chemical injection hose, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.
1. Place chemical injection hose in a bucket full of clean
water.

release pressure in the system. When the engine has
shut down, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to
relieve the pressure in the hose.

using the tools included with your pressure washer and
follow these instructions:
