WARNING: Depressurize First
Any time you remove/install/change a nozzle, you
must depressurize hose line by squeezing the spray
gun trigger while the engine is off. Even if the
engine has been off for a long period of time, the
hose may remain dangerously pressurized.

3.
The water supply garden hose must have an
inside diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is
more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at
least
3/4”.
4.
Never use a reservoir tank as a water source.
Drawing water out of a tank may cause pump
cavitation and damage to your pump. This
pressure washer is designed for a pressurized
water source such as a city water faucet. However,
the water source pressure must not exceed 115
psi (8 bar).
5.
Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water
supply. Do not use rigid piping.

Attach Nozzle to Spray Gun
1.
See "
Component Identification
" section of this
manual for location of the pressure washer's
water outlet.
2.
To attach the pressure hose to the spray gun,
spin the pressure hose’s coupler onto
the spray
gun’s inlet, hand
tight.
Spray Gun
Select Nozzle for Spray Gun
Your pressure washer is equipped with (3) high-
pressure nozzle and (1) low-pressure nozzle.
Generally, the wider the spray angle of the nozzle,
the lower the spray impact produced. Select the
appropriate nozzle for the job based on the
following table:
1.
Make sure the engine is off and the hose line is
depressurized
2.
To install the nozzle, pull the collar back and twist
the nozzle firmly into the coupler on the end of the
wand
3.
Release the collar, making sure it springs back and
re-seats to its original (non-retracted) position.
Check the connection by pulling on the nozzle to
ensure a tight connection -- if correctly inserted,
nozzle will rotate but not pull out.

WARNING: High Pressure
NEVER operate this pump with components (such as
hose, connections, and spray gun) rated for lower
pressure and/or temperature limits than the machine's
maximum rated pressure and temperature, or
component could rupture and cause serious personal
injury from escaping high pressure fluids.
