How to Use Spray Tips
The quick-connect on the nozzleextension allows you to
switch betweenfour different quick connect spray tips. Spray
tips can be changedwhile pressurewasher is running once
spray gun trigger lock is engaged.Thespray tips vary the
spray pattern asshown below.
Foflowtheseinstructionsto changespraytips:
1. Pull back collar on quick-connect and pull current spray
tip off. Storespray tips in holes provided in the handle.
_i, WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces cancut through skin
and its underlying tissues, leadingto serious
injury and possible amputation.
• NEVERexchangespraytipswithoutthetriggerlockedonthe
spraygun.
• DONOTtwist spraytips whilespraying.
2. Select desiredspray tip:
• For gentle rinse, selectwhite 40° or green 25° spray
tip.
• To scour surface, selectyellow 15° or red 0° spray
tip.
• To applydetergent, select black spray tip.
3. Pull back on collar, insert newspray tip and release
collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is securely in
place.
UsageTips
* For most effective cleaning, keepspray tip from 8 to
24 inches (20 to 61 cm) awayfrom cleaning surface.
If you get spray tip too close, especiallyusing a high
pressure spray tip, you may damagesurfacebeing
cleaned.
DONOTget closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning
tires.

NOTICE Detergentcannot be applied with the high pressure
spray tips (White, Green,Yellow, or Red).
2. Preparedetergent solution as required by job.
3. Placesmall filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
NOTICE Makesure the filter is fully submerged in detergent
while applying detergent.
NOTICE Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent
siphoning tube.
• When inserting the siphon into adetergent solution bottle, route
the tube so asto keep it from inadvertentlycontacting the hot
muffler.
4. Makesure garden hoseis connectedto water inlet.
Checkthat high pressure hose is connectedto spray gun
and pump. Turn on water.
NOTICE You must attach all hoses before you start the
engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected andwithout
the water turned ONwill damagethe pump.
• Damageto equipment resultingfrom failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.

other qualifiedservice dealerfor service.
The pressurewasher warranty doesnot cover items that
havebeen subjectedto operator abuseor negligence.To
receivefull valuefrom the warranty, the operator must
maintain pressurewasher as instructed in this manual
including proper storage as detailedin Storage.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your pressure washer.
All serviceand adjustments should be made at least once
eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart.
NOTICE Oncea year you should cleanor replacethe spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug andcleanair
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement,or repair of the emissions
controldevices and systemsmay beperformedby anynon=
roadengine repair establishment or individual. However,
to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the work
must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.Seethe
Emissions Warranty.
Before Each Use
1. Checkengineoil level.
2. Cleandebris.
3. Checkwater inlet screen for damage.
4. Checkhigh pressure hosefor leaks.
5. Checkgun and nozzleextensionassembly for leaks.
6. Purge pump of air and contaminants.

tests.
NozzleMaintenance
A pulsing sensationfelt while squeezingthe spray gun trigger
may be caused by excessivepump pressure.The principal
causeof excessivepump pressure is a spray tip clogged or
