PRESSURE WASHER

WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or in-
gested, causing severe nausea,
fainting or poisoning. The harm-
ful elements may cause property
damage or severe injury.
STEP 1: Connect detergent in-
jector to discharge nipple on ma-
chine, Connect high pressure hose to injector with quick
coupler(check to make sure locking coupler sleeves are
in proper position before applying water pressure
STEP 2: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers.
Household detergents could dam-
age the pump. Prepare detergent
solution as required by the manu-
facturer. Fill a container with pres-
sure washer detergent. Place the
filter end of detergent suction tube
into the detergent container.
STEP 3: Apply safety latch to spray gun trigger. Turn
variable pressure control handle until discharge water
exits both tubes. Secure black detergent nozzle into
quick coupler if you have a single wand.
NOTE: De-
tergent cannot be applied using Red, Yellow, Green or
White nozzles.
STEP 4: With the engine running,
pull trigger to operate machine.
Liquid detergent is drawn into the
machine and mixed with water.
Apply detergent to work area.
Do not allow detergent to dry on
surface.
IMPORTANT: You must flush
the detergent injection system after each use by
placing the suction tube into a bucket of clean wa-
ter, then run the pressure washer in low pressure
for 1-2 minutes.
ThERMAL PUMP PROTECTION
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 high tempera-
tures. When the water reaches this temperature, the
pump protector engages and cools the pump by dis-
charging the warm water onto the ground. This thermal
device prevents internal damage to the pump.
CLEANINg TIPS
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place de-
tergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure (for best results, limit
your work area to sections approximately 6’ square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not al-
low detergent to dry on surface. If surface appears to
be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water. If
needed, use brush to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at
high pressure from top to bottom in an even sweeping
motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 1’ from
cleaning surface. Use overlapping strokes as you clean
and rinse any surface. For best surface cleaning action
spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use
extreme caution as pressure washer may remove
the loose paint from the surface.
• Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash a
small area, then check the surface for damage. If no
damage is found, continue to pressure washing.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the machine and will dam-
age the surface being cleaned.
RINSINg
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Remove black soap
nozzle from the quick coupler. Select and install the
desired high pressure nozzle. NOTE: You can also stop
detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent
siphon tube from bottle.
