To prevent damage to the outer covering:

  Inspect the hose before every use. 

  Fully unwrap and straighten hose before use.

  Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.

  Keep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

  Do not pull unit by high pressure hose.

  Do not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped around 

objects.

WASHING WITH DETERGENT

See Figures 19 - 20.

As sold, this unit is designed for use with “downstream” pres-

sure washer detergents. To convert for use with “upstream” 

detergents, contact an customer service or a qualified service 

centre for more information.

NOTICE:

USE ONLY DETERGENTS DESIGNED FOR PRESSURE 

WASHERS.

 Do not use household detergents, acids, 

alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or 

industrial grade solutions, which can damage the pump 

or cause property damage. Many detergents may 

require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution 

as instructed on the solution bottle. Always test in an 

inconspicuous area before beginning.

  Remove the cap from the soap tank and pour pressure 

washer detergent in the tank. Replace cap on tank.

 NOTE: 

The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which 

usually allows the use of 3.79 l (1 gallon) pressure washer 

detergent without further dilution. Check your detergent 

instructions to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.

  Install the blue soap nozzle on the spray wand.

  Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds 

for the detergent to appear.

 

Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, 

overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow 

detergent to dry on the surface.

Before shutting off the engine:

  Fill the soap tank with clean water.

  Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the 

tank is empty.

  If any detergent remains in the spray, repeat with a second 

tank of clean water. 

  Shut off the engine.

NOTE:

 Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the 

system.

 Pull trigger to release water pressure.

RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

 

Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water 

supply. 

Pull trigger to release water pressure.

  Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up 

on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

  Remove the soap nozzle and place in the nozzle storage 

area.

  Select the right nozzle for the job. See the chart shown 

earlier in the manual to select the appropriate nozzle.

  Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down, 

overlapping the strokes.

USING PUMP PROTECTOR

See Figure 21.

Regular use of a commercially available pump protector 

prolongs the life of the pressure washer by removing hard 

water mineral deposits, lubricating pump seals and pistons, 

and preventing freeze damage. Pump protector should be 

added to the unit after every use and before storage. Pump 

protector can be purchased at the retailer where you purchased 

your pressure washer, or by calling customer service.
The instructions that follow are typical for adding pump 

protector but you should always verify the specific instructions 

provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.

  Turn off the pressure washer engine and shut off the water 

supply. 

Pull trigger to release water pressure.

 

  Disconnect garden hose and high pressure hose.

  Unscrew threaded top from pump protector bottle and 

remove paper seal from bottle. Reinstall top on bottle and 

tighten securely.

 

NOTE:

  The rubber seal should remain inside the threaded 

top. If it comes out, be sure to replace before reinstalling 

the top.

  Remove bottle cap and attach threaded end of bottle 

securely to pressure washer pump water intake.

  Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.

  With engine switch off, pull starter grip and rope to cycle 

pump, then squeeze bottle again to guarantee complete 

coverage.

  Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump 

outlet.

MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER

See Figure 22.

NOTE:

 Never lift or carry this product using the handle and 

never place the unit in any position other than upright on 

its wheels.

  Turn the pressure washer off.

  Tilt the machine toward you slightly until it balances on 

the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position. 

Do not tilt forward or sideways when moving.

  DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling on any of 

the hoses.
