NOTE:
For greater control and safety, keep both hands
on the unit at all times.
Several different methods of cleaning are available.
Choose the method best suited for your cleaning project.
High Pressure Cleaning:
Squeeze the high pressure trigger on the gun. This will
provide a spray of water at high pressure.
When using the high pressure spray alone, detergent is
not dispensed.
Low Pressure Rinsing:
Attach soap/rinse nozzle(black) to end of lance. Squeeze
the trigger on the gun.
■
To dispense soap, turn the detergent dial to the ON
position.
■
To revert back to water only rinsing at low pressure,
turn the detergent dial to OFF.
USING THE NOZZLES
See Figure 11.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best
nozzle for the job. The 25
˚
nozzle is for general purpose
or large surfaces.
CAUTION
:
NEVER change nozzles without engaging the
lock out on the gun and NEVER point the lance
at your face or at others. The Quick Connect
collar contains small springs that could eject
the nozzle with some force. Failure to heed this
may cause personal injury.
Using the Quick Connect collar, changing nozzles is
easy.
To connect a nozzle to the lance:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the gun by pulling down on
the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Push the nozzle into the Quick Connect collar until it
clicks in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the lance once the
cleaning job is complete:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the gun by pushing down on
the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the Quick Connect collar. Place nozzle in
the nozzle storage area .
OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figures 12.
To clean:
■
Place the detergent dial in the ON position and attach
soap/rinse nozzle.
■
Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on
a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes.
To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on
the surface.
■
Switch to 25° spray nozzle and engage trigger to
clean the area.
To rinse:
■
Turn the detergent dial to the OFF position and
attach soap/rinse nozzle.
■
Spray away from the rinsing surface for
approximately 10 seconds to allow any remaining
detergent to be flushed from the hose.
■
Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work
down, overlapping the strokes.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 13.
Store in a dry, covered, frost-free area where the weather
can’t damage it. Always empty water from gun, hose and
pump.
Depress the telescopic handle release button. This will
allow the handle to retract. If the handle does not lower
on its own, apply a light pressure to push the handle
down.
NOTE:
Do not loosen the locking collar when retracting
or extending the handle.
■
When the pressure washer is needed again, depress
and hold the handle release button while pulling
up on the handle to restore it to normal operating
position.
NOTE:
The use of a pump protector is recommended to prevent
cold weather damage during storage over the winter
months.
