How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
• Turn engine off according to the engine owner's manual.
• Simply shutting off the engine will not release pressure in the
system. Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve
pressure in the hose.
NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when you release
the pressure.

• Pull back the collar on the quick–connect and pull the current
nozzle off. Store the nozzle in the space provided on the handle.
NOTE: For a more gentle rinse, select the white 40° or green
25° nozzle.To scour the surface, select the yellow 15° or red 0°
nozzle.To apply chemical, select the black nozzle.
• Pull back on the collar, insert the new nozzle and release the
collar.Tug on the nozzle to make sure it is securely in place.
• For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle between
8 to 24 inches away from the cleaning surface. If you get the
spray nozzle too close, you may damage the cleaning surface.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning automobile
tires.
If Your Unit is Equipped with the Turbo

The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a rapid
circular pattern.The high pressure spray is most effective when
the tip of the nozzle extension is held between 8 to 24 inches
from the surface being cleaned.
