PRESSURE WASHER
OPERATING FEATURES
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
The pressure setting is preset at the
factory to achieve optimum pressure
and cleaning. If you need to lower the
pressure, it can be accomplished by
these methods.
1. Back away from the surface
to be cleaned.
The further away
you are, the less the pressure will
be on the surface to be cleaned.
2. Rotate the nozzle at the end
of the multi-adjustable spray
wand to widen the fan spray
.
The wider fan spray will minimize
the pressure on the surface to be
cleaned.
DO NOT attempt
to increase pump
pressure. A higher pressure setting
than the factory set pressure may
damage pump.
3. Reduce the speed of the
gasoline engine (RPM).
Slow
the engine down and the water
pressure will go down with it.
Bypass Mode:
Allows water to
re-circulate within pump when the gun
trigger is not pulled.
Allowing the unit to
run for more than
two minutes without the gun trigger
pulled could cause overheating and
damage to the pump.
Chemical Injection System:
Mixes
cleaners or cleaning solvents with
the water to improve cleaning
effectiveness.
Water Supply:
All pressure washers must
have a source of water. The minimum
requirements for a water supply are 20
PSI and 5 gallons per minute.
When using the
high pressure
setting, DO NOT allow the jet-like
spray to come in contact with
unprotected skin, eyes, or with any
pets or animals. Serious injury can
occur.
Risk of injection or
injury to person.
DO NOT direct discharge stream
toward persons.
For high pressure operation, pull back
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
The nozzle at the end of the multi-
adjustable spray wand can be rotated
to change the high pressure spray
pattern from a 0º pencil stream to a
40º fan spray, as shown. Markings
have been placed on the nozzle to
help you select the spray pattern.
For low pressure operation, extend
the nozzle of the multi-adjustable
spray wand as shown.
The powerful
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 USE SPRAY WAND
Your pressure washer is equipped
with a multi-adjustable spray wand
with both high and low pressure
settings. The high pressure setting
is for cleaning and rinsing, the low
pressure setting is for applying
chemicals or cleaning solutions to
surfaces.
