• Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun
and pump.
• Start engine and attach nozzle extension.
• Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up.
• Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying.
• For washing, start at lower portion of area to be washed
and work upward, using long, even overlapping strokes.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
WARNING:
Be extremely careful if you must use
the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any
other relatively unstable location. Pressure in a
running washer builds as you climb. When you press
the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could
cause you to fall. The high pressure spray could also
cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning
surface.
For Rinsing:
• Slide nozzle backward to high pressure and wait for
detergent to clear.
NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by
simply removing siphon tube from bottle.
• Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you
plan to spray.
• Apply the high pressure spray to a small area and check
the surface for damage. If no damage is found, you can
assume it is okay to continue cleaning.
• Start at top of area to be rinsed, working downward
with the same overlapping strokes as you used for
applying chemical.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach a temperature
between 140–145°F. When the water reaches this
temperature, the automatic cool down system engages and
cools the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground. This system prevents internal damage to the
pump.
