**NOTICE: 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.
HOW TO APPLY CHEMICALS/CLEANING SOLVENTS (FIG. 10)
Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low pressure operation. NOTE: Use
only soaps and chemicals designed for pressure washer use. Do not use bleach.
To Apply Chemicals:
1. Ensure detergent siphon hose (F, Figure 10) is attached
to barbed fitting location near high pressure hose
connection of pump as shown. NOTE: The barbed
fitting location will vary depending on the pump type.
2. Place other end of detergent siphon hose with
filter on it into container holding chemical/cleaning
solution. NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped
1 gallon of chemical/cleaning solution will be used.
3. Install low pressure (black) nozzle into quick connect fitting of spray wand, see
How To Use Spray Wand paragraph in this section.
4. After use of chemicals, place detergent siphon hose into container of clean
water and draw clean water through chemical injection system to rinse system
thoroughly. If chemicals remain in the pump, it could be damaged. Pumps
damaged due to chemical residue will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if the black soap nozzle is not installed
on the spray wand.
STARTING (FIG. 11–14)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the pressure washer instruction
manual and the engine instruction manual before starting pressure washer.
DANGER: Risk of fluid injection and laceration. When using the high
pressure setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure spray to come in contact
with unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets or animals. Serious injury
will occur.
• Your washer operates at fluid pressures and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or other serious injury.
Leaks caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged hoses can result in injection
injuries. DO NOT TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See a physician
immediately!
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an engine indoors can kill you in
minutes. Engine exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a
poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. You may be breathing CO even if you
do not smell engine exhaust.
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death! Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated area. Avoid enclosed areas
such as garages, basements, etc.
• Never operate unit in or near a location occupied by humans or animals.
