any excess air out of the unit. Water will flow
through the gun at low pressure during this
procedure. For more bleeding tips, see the sec-
tion titled “Operating Instructions.”
GUN SAFETY LOCK
This pressure washer is equipped with a gun
trigger safety lock. When not using the pres-
sure washer, use the safety lock to keep from
accidentally engaging the high pressure spray.
ADJUSTABLE SPRAY NOZZLE
The adjustable nozzle will allow you to use
any variety of spray patterns 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
you are cleaning. Always begin by spraying
in a testing area free and clear of people and
objects.
DISPENSING DETERGENT
The detergent dispenser will allow you to apply
many forms of liquid detergent onto the work
surface. Remove the nozzle on the detergent
reservoir and fill with liquid detergent only.
Do not put any water into the reservoir. The
pressure washer will mix water and detergent
automatically. When finished applying the
detergent to the work surface, push back in on
the end of the adjustable nozzle and spray off
the detergent by using the high-pressure spray.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
Turn on the water supply tap FULLY. Release
the safety catch, then press the trigger for a
few seconds to allow air to escape and to dis-
charge residual pressure in the pipes.
Dissolve dirt by applying detergent with the
fan jet to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces,
work from the bottom upwards.
Leave the detergent to act for 1 to 2 minutes,
but do not allow to dry out. Apply the high
pressure jet, keeping the nozzle at least 10”
(30 cm) from the surface, working from the
bottom upwards.
Avoid allowing the rinsing water to run on to
unwashed surfaces.
WARNING: Always test the spray in an area
free and clear of people and objects before
you sprayat the intended cleaning surface.
WOOD AND VINYL DECKS
Rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using detergent, fill the detergent
reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned
at low pressure. For optimal results, reduce
your work area to smaller sections and clean
each section one at a time. Allow the deter-
gent to rest on the surface for a few minutes
and then rinse at high pressure. DO NOT LET
THE CLEANSER DRY. Always clean from left to
right and top to bottom for best results. Rinse
at high pressure using the fan spray keeping
the tip of the spray nozzle at least 6-9 inches
from the cleaning surface. Maintain a further
distance from the cleaning area when using
a direct spray. Caution: For softer woods, in-
crease the distance from the cleaning area.
CEMENT PATIOS, STONE, AND BRICK
Rinse cleaning and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using detergent, fill the detergent
reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned
at low pressure. Rinse at high pressure using
the fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping
the tip of the spray nozzle at least 3-6 inches
from the cleaning surface. Maintain a further
distance from the cleaning area when using a
direct spray.
CARS, BOATS, AND MOTORCYCLES
Rinse cleaning and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using detergent, fill the detergent
reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned
at low pressure. To achieve the best results,
clean one side at a time. Allow the detergent
to rest on the surface for a few minutes, but do
not let the detergent dry. Rinse at high pres-
sure using the fan spray in a sweeping motion
keeping the tip of the spray nozzle at least 8
inches from the cleaning surface. Maintain a
further distance from the cleaning area when
