USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 12.
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.
PowerControl
™
regulator:
Hold the trigger handle firmly in one hand and rotate the
PowerControl
™
regulator with the other hand. Turn the
regulator counterclockwise to decrease the flow of water
and pressure or clockwise to increase.
NOTE:
Use soap nozzle at maximum setting.
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 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
engine, 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 and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
