• Point the nozzle down towards a firm surface and press
the trigger to test the pattern (Figure 13).
• Twisting the nozzle adjusts the spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern (Figure 14).
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle between 8
to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
• If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially using high
pressure mode, you may damage the cleaning surface.
• Do Not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
Applying Detergent with the
Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could damage
the pump.
IMPORTANT: You MUST attach all hoses before you
start the engine. Starting the engine without all the hoses
connected and without the water turned ON will damage
the pump.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
• Review the use of adjustable nozzles.
• Prepare the detergent solution as required by the job.
• Hang the detergent solution container on the hook
provided on the handle (Figure 15).
• Place small filter of the detergent siphoning tube into the
detergent container.
CAUTION!
Keep the plastic siphon tube from
coming in contact with the hot muffler as this will
damage the tube. When inserting the filter into a
cleaning agent container, route the tube so as to
keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot
muffler.
• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high
pressure position.
IMPORTANT: Detergent cannot be applied without the
water source turned ON.
