the trigger until a steady stream of water
appears.
To start the engine:
■ Turn the fuel valve to the ON (horizontal)
position.
■ Put the on/off switch in the ON position.
■ Push choke into the START position.
■ Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until
you fell the resistance. Give the starter grip
a short, brisk pull to start the engine.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back after starting; return it gently to its
original position.
WARNING
If the engine does not start after each pull,
squeeze the trigger to relieve water pressure
before attempting to start the engine again.
■ Let the engine run for several seconds,
then gradually slide the choke lever fully
toward the RUN position.
STOPPING THE HIGH PRESSURE
CLEANER
To stop the engine:
■ Put the on/off switch in the OFF position.
■ Turn the fuel valve to the OFF (vertical)
position.
■ Shut off the water supply and pull trigger to
release water pressure.
WARNING
Hold the handle and wand securely with
both hands. Expect the trigger handle
to move when the trigger is pulled due to
reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause
loss of control and injury to yourself and
others.
WARNING
While operating and storing, keep at least
1m (3 feet) of clearance on all sides of
the product, including overhead. Allow a
minimum of 30 minutes of “cool down” time
before storage. Heat created by muffler and
exhaust gases may be hot enough to cause
serious burns and/or ignite combustible
objects.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See page 19 (step 10).
■ Pull back and hold the trigger to operate
the high pressure cleaner.
■ Release the trigger to stop the flow of water
through the nozzle.
To engage the trigger lock out:
■ Push up on the lock out until it clicks into
the slot.
To disengage the trigger lock out:
■ Push the lock out down and into its original
position.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray
nozzle should be between 200 mm (8 in.)
and 600 mm (24 in.) from the surface to be
cleaned. If the spray is too close it can damage
the cleaning surface.
INSTALLING/REMOVING NOZZLES
WARNING
Never change nozzles or spray patterns
without locking the lock out on the trigger
handle. Never point the wand to yourself or
other persons. The quick-connect feature
contains small springs that could eject the
nozzle with some force. Failure to heed this
warning could cause personal injury.
Using the quick-connect collar, changing the
nozzle is easy.
To connect the nozzle to the spray wand:
■ Turn off the high pressure cleaner and
shut off the water supply. Pull the 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.
■ Push the nozzle into the quick-connect
collar until it clicks in place and is secured
properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray
wand once the cleaning job is complete:
■ Turn off the high pressure cleaner and shut
off the water supply. Pull trigger to release
water pressure.
