WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or
ingested, causing severe nau-
sea, fainting or poisoning. The
harmful elements may cause
property damage or severe
injury.
STEP 1:
Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers.
Household detergents could dam-
age the pump. Prepare detergent
solution as required by the manufac-
turer. Fill a container with pressure
washer detergent. Place the filter
end of detergent suction tube into
the detergent container.
STEP 2:
Apply safety switch
to spray gun trigger. Secure
black nozzle into quick coupler.
NOTE
: Detergent cannot be applied
using yellow nozzle.
STEP 3:
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 from
your machine after each use by placing the suction
tube into a bucket of clean water and then running
the pressure washer 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 tem-
peratures. When the water reaches this temperature,
the pump protector engages and cools the pump by
discharging 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 feet square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow 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 foot
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 products and other corrosive
chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinner,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the machine and will
damage 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.
