Before shutting off the engine:

  Fill the soap tank with clean water.

  Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the 

tank is empty.

  If any detergent remains in the spray, repeat with a second 

tank of clean water. 

  Shut off the engine.

 NOTE:

 Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in 

the system.

 Pull trigger to release water pressure.

RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

 

Turn off the pressure washer 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.

  Remove the soap nozzle and place in the nozzle storage 

area.

  Select the right nozzle for the job. See the chart shown 

earlier in the manual for selecting the appropriate nozzle.

  Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down, 

overlapping the strokes.

USING PUMP PROTECTOR

See Figure 17.

Regular use of a commercially available pump protector 
prolongs the life of the pressure washer by removing hard 
water mineral deposits, lubricating pump seals and pistons, 
and preventing freeze damage. Pump protector should be 
added to the unit after every use and before storage. Pump 
protector can be purchased at the retailer where you pur-
chased your pressure washer, or by calling customer service.
The instructions that follow are typical for adding pump pro-
tector but you should always verify the specific instructions 
provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.

  Turn off the pressure washer engine and shut off the water 

supply. 

Pull trigger to release water pressure.

 

  Disconnect garden hose and high pressure hose.

  Unscrew threaded top from pump protector bottle and 

remove paper seal from bottle. Reinstall top on bottle and 
tighten securely.

 

NOTE:

 The rubber seal should remain inside the threaded 

top. If it comes out, be sure to replace before reinstalling 
the top.

  Remove bottle cap and attach threaded end of bottle 

securely to pressure washer pump water intake.

  Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.

  With engine switch off, pull starter grip and rope to cycle 

pump, then squeeze bottle again to guarantee complete 
coverage.

  Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump 

outlet.

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 15 - 16.

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.

  Remove the cap from the soap tank and pour pressure 

washer detergent in the tank. Replace cap on tank.

 NOTE: 

The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which usu-

ally allows the use of 1 gallon pressure washer detergent 
without further dilution. Check your detergent instructions 
to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.

  Install the blue or black soap nozzle on the spray wand.

  Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds 

for the detergent to appear.

 

Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, 
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow 
detergent to dry on the surface.
