OPERATION

USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE

See Figure 14.

 WARNING:

Hold the trigger handle 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.

  Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure 

washer.

  Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the 

nozzle.

To engage the lock out:

  Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.

To disengage the lock out:

  Push the lock out down and into its original position.

Start with the nozzle 1–2 ft. away from the cleaning surface  
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired 
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can 
damage the cleaning surface.

SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE 
JOB

See Figure 15.

Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before 
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the 
job. Refer to the 

Nozzle Selection Guide

 for more informa-

tion about which nozzle to choose.

 WARNING:

NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the motor, 
removing the battery pack, relieving the water pressure in 
the trigger handle, and locking the lock out on the trigger 
handle. NEVER point the nozzle at your face or at others. 
The quick-connect feature contains small springs that 
could eject the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow 
these instructions could result in an eye injury or other 
serious personal injury.

To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:

 

Turn off the pressure washer, remove the battery pack  
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.

 

Pull back the quick-connect collar.

 

Push the nozzle into place in the spray wand.

 

Push the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured 
properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.

To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the 

cleaning job is complete:

 

Turn off the pressure washer, remove the battery pack  
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.

 

Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar.

 

Remove the nozzle by pulling it from the quick-connect 
collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top 
of the machine.

USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE

 WARNING:

Injection hazard. Fully unwrap and straighten high pres-
sure hose prior to and during each use and do not allow 
it to become kinked. The high pressure hose features an 
outer covering that provides strength to the hose. If the 
outer covering becomes damaged, stop using the hose 
and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged hose 
can develop a high pressure leak and result in a possible 
injection or other serious personal injury.

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 16 - 17.

As sold, this unit is designed for use with “downstream” pres-
sure washer detergents. To convert for use with “upstream” 
detergents, contact customer service or an authorized cus-
tomer service center for more information. 

NOTICE:

USE ONLY DETERGENTS DESIGNED FOR PRES-
SURE 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.
