OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING TO KNOW  YOUR  PRESSURE WASHER

CAUTION

Using the Rotary Brush

The rotary brush is used with the trigger 

gun. Push the brush onto the trigger 

gun nozzle and turn clockwise to lock 

as you would for the lance. (Fig. 6) The 

brush may be used for washing cars, 

boats, windows and other similar items. 

The rotary brush operates at open 

orifice pressure so that it will not direct 

a stream of water. (Fig. 8)

The angle of the water on the fan jet 

lance may be adjusted between 0° and 

60° by turning the nozzle adjuster 

counter-clockwise for a wider angle or 

clockwise for a narrower angle. (Fig. 7) 

Always make sure that the "On/Off' 

switch is in the "Off" position before 

changing the angle of the water jet. It is 

also recommended that the trigger gun 

safety lock be engaged as well. The 

adjustable fan jet lance allows you to use 

any variety of spray pattern from a full fan 

spray to a direct stream spray. When 

using the pressure washer to clean wood 

decks, siding, vehicles, etc., always start 

using the fan spray and begin spraying 

from a minimum 36" away to avoid 

damaging the surface of the material that 

you are cleaning. Always clear the area 

that you will be cleaning of people, pets 

and objects.

and turn clockwise to lock in place. 

(Fig. 9) To remove  the detergent 

applicator bottle, lift the tab on the top
