Submerge the suction strainer connected to the 
braided chemical hose into a bucket containing the 

chemical solution. 

 

Note:   

Adding accessories (IE: telescoping wands, 

extra length of High pressure hose, Non factory triggers) 
will effect chemical injector performance or cause it not 

to operate at all.

  

 

Start-Up Procedures 

Start the Engine to Power the Pump.   

 

1.

 

Make sure water supply is connected and primed.  

CAUTION: Warranty Void 

Running the pump dry will cause damage and void 

the warranty. 

 

2.

 

To prevent accidental spraying, engage the safety 
latch on spray gun trigger by rotating it to the 
locked position. 

3.

 

Follow the instructions in the Engine Manual for 
starting the engine. 

- If the engine doesn't start on the first try, 
pressure may build up in the pump.  Relieve 

pressure by squeezing the spray gun trigger 
before attempting to start engine again.  This 
will make starting easier. 
 

       

DANGER: Engine Exhaust 

Do not inhale engine exhaust.  It contains 
dangerous carbon monoxide that can kill you. 

 

 
 

Apply Cleaning Chemical (If Desired)  

1.

 

Make sure the chemical injector is properly set up 
according to the instructions in Step 2, "Set Up for 
Chemical Spraying". 

2.

 

Make sure the low pressure BLACK nozzle is 

attached before beginning to spray chemicals -- 

Only the low pressure black nozzle will allow 
chemicals to be drawn through the chemical injector 
into the water stream. 

3.

 

Apply chemicals by squeezing the spray gun trigger.  
The chemical injector will draw the chemical into the 
water stream. 

4.

 

The chemical concentration of the spray can be 

changed by turning the chemical adjustment knob 
located on the chemical injector. 

5.

 

Apply chemicals evenly to the cleaning surface. 
Never use more chemical than is necessary to clean 

the surface. 

6.

 

Allow the chemicals time to react with the dirt before 
rinsing. 

7.

 

Prepare to rinse by changing to a high-pressure 

nozzle. Changing the nozzle from the low-pressure 
black nozzle to a high-pressure nozzle will stop the 
flow of chemicals into the water stream. 

 

Refer to instructions for selecting and changing 
the nozzle in Step 1, "Connect Hoses, Water 
Supply, and Nozzle".

 

8.

 

Rinse with high-pressure spray as instructed below.
