USING THE TELESCOPING POLE
See Figures 5 - 6.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, possible serious per-
sonal injury or property damage, spray the pressure stream
in a safe direction away from all electrical devices and
bystanders. Ensure proper connection of all accessories
before starting any cleaning project. Fits most pressure
washers. Ensure compatibility and proper fit before us-
ing this accessory. Wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with Z87.1. Risk of fluid injections; do
not point at people, pets, electrical devices or the unit itself.
Turn off the pressure washer before changing or adjust-
ing accessories. For cold water use only. For outdoor use
only – store indoors. Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
Do not use pivoting nozzles when using the telescoping
pole. Pivoting nozzles can increase the risk of kickback and
could result in possible serious personal injury.
n
The trigger handle features a lock button to prevent unin-
tentional use.
To lock
, slide the lock toward the trigger so
the lock symbol is shown.
To unlock,
slide the lock away
from the trigger so the unlock symbol is shown.
NOTE:
Always engage the trigger lock before moving or
adjusting the telescoping pole.
n
Connect the high pressure hose of your pressure washer
to the inlet coupler on the telescoping pole.
NOTE:
The inlet coupler on the telescoping pole is designed
to connect to a threaded connector on your pressure
washer’s high pressure hose. If your high pressure hose
has a quick connect coupler instead, install the adaptor
provided before connecting to the telescoping pole.
n
The telescoping pole can be used retracted, extended, or
at any point in between. To adjust the length of any of the
poles, open the lock lever, move the pole to the desired
length, then close the lock lever to secure.
NOTE:
Never fully extend the poles. Do not extend beyond
the lines marked on the poles. This allows 4 in. of pole to
remain inside the next section to help provide stability dur-
ing operation.
n
Before attempting to use the telescoping pole on your
project, move away from the project area and extend the
pole to 50% of its available length. Depress the trigger to
release a stream of water so that you can get a feel for how
the unit will perform during use.
n
The telescoping pole will kickback when the trigger is re-
leased and/or pressure is lost. Before releasing the trigger,
move the nozzle at least 10 feet away from the surface
being cleaned and make sure you have solid footing.
