Washing / Cleaning
WARNING!
The high pressure stream of water that this machine
produces
can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to possible
amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when the engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
1.
Firmly grip spray gun (1) with both hands.
WARNING!
The spray gun will kick back when the trigger is first pulled.
2.
Point the nozzle (3) to a safe direction and squeeze the trigger to begin
spraying.

When finished, release the trigger to stop water flow.
Using detergents
Most cleaning tasks can be completed with the pressure washer alone. For
others, it is advantageous to use detergent. Use only liquid detergents designed
specifically for use with pressure washers.
Note:
Detergents, soaps, cleaning solvents will not siphon when a high pressure
nozzle is used. Use the low pressure detergent nozzle (black).
1.
Prepare detergent solution as recommended by the manufacturer.

Remove the detergent tank lid (14) and fill with prepared detergent solution.
Replace the detergent tank lid (14).
