HOW TO APPLY CHEMICALS AND CLEANING SOLVENTS 

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.

Press chemical hose

onto barbed fitting located near

high pressure hose connection of pump as shown.

2.

Place other end 

of chemical hose with filter on it into

container holding chemical/cleaning solution. 

NOTE:

The chemical/water ratio is 7:1, for every 7 gallons of
water pumped, 1 gallon of chemical/cleaning solution
will be used.

3.

Set multi-adjustable nozzle

to low pressure setting.

See How To Use Wand paragraph in this section.

4.

After use of chemicals,

place chemical 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
chemicals will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: 

Chemicals and soaps will not siphon when wand is in the high pressure

setting.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING UNIT

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 can 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!

NEVER

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not

smoke when filling fuel tank.

NEVER

fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below bottom of filler neck to

provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and
equipment before starting engine.

NEVER

run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine

exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT

let hoses come in contact with very hot engine muffler during or

immediately after use of your pressure washer. Damage to hoses from contact
with hot engine surfaces will NOT be covered by warranty.

NEVER

pull water supply hose to move pressure washer. This

could damage hose and/or pump inlet.

DO NOT

use hot water, use cold water only.

NEVER

turn water supply off while pressure washer engine is running or

damage to pump will result.

DO NOT

stop spraying water for more than two minutes at a time. Pump

operates in bypass mode when spray gun trigger is not pressed. If pump is left
in bypass mode for more than two minutes internal components of the pump
can be damaged.

If you do not understand these precautions, please call 1-800-888-2468 to
speak to a service representative for further instructions.
