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 the hose before use.
Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.
Keep the hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.
Do not pull the unit by the high pressure hose.
Do not allow the hose to be crushed or wrapped around
objects.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 14 - 15.
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 a qualified 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.
SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 13.
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 en-
gine, 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 in-
structions could result in an eye injury or other serious
personal injury.

Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply.
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 and shut off the water sup-
ply.
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.
