Section 4: Operation

Cleaning and Chemical

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for

pressure washers. Household detergents could damage

pump.

• Starting the engine without atJ the hoses connected and

without the water turned ON will damage the pump.

, Damage to equipment resuJdng from f_ilure to follow this

instruction willvoid warranty.

To apply detergent follow these steps:

Review use of spray tips.

Prepare detergent solution as required by

manufacturer.

Place small filter end of detergent siphoning tube into

detergent container.

• When inserting the fiIter into a detergent solution bottle,

route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertendy contacting

the hot muffler.

4. Hake sure black spray tip is installed.

NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high

pressure spray tips (White,Yellow, or Red).

5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.

Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray

gun and pump and start engine.

6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower

portion of area to be washed and work upwar& using

long, even, overlapping strokes.

7. Allow detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes

before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to

prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent

to dry on (prevents streaking).

mNPORTANT:You must flush the chemical injection

system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of

clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure

for I-2 minutes.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

After you have applied detergent, scour the surface

and rinse it clean as follows:

I. Apply trigger lock to spray gun.

2. Remove black chemical spray tip from nozzle extension.

3. Select and install desired high pressure spray tip

following instructions "How to Use SprayTips".

4. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to

spray.

surface.

Operate this unit on a stable surface.

Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer" from

a laddec scaffolding or any other" rel_tJvely unstable location.

Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high

pressure spray to avoid iniury if gun kicks back.

S. 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.

6. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with

same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.

Cleaning Detergent SiphoningTube

If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it

with clean water before stopping the engine.

I. Place chemical injection siphon/filter in a bucket full of

clean water.

Attach black low pressure spray tip.

Flush for I-2. minutes.

INPORTANT: Simply shutting OFF engine will not

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°

Automatic Cool Down System

(Thermal Relief)

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for

3°5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
