Snapper 2300 PSI Pressure Washer

• Make sure the garden hose is connected to the water

inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is connected to
the spray gun and the pump. Start the engine.

• Apply the detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower

portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.

• Allow the detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before

washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow the detergent to
dry on (prevents streaking).

IMPORTANT: You must flush the chemical injection
system after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of
clean water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure
for 1-2 minutes.

Pressure Washer  Rinsing

WARNING!

Be extremely careful if you must use

the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any
other relatively unstable location.When you press
the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray could
cause you to fall.The high pressure spray could also
cause you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning
surface.

For Rinsing:

• Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure, press the

trigger and wait for the detergent to clear.

CAUTION!

Firmly grasp spray gun with both

hands when using high pressure spray to avoid
injury if gun kicks back.

NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing detergent siphoning tube from bottle.

• Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you

plan to spray.

• Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then check

the surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is okay
to continue cleaning.

• Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down

with same overlapping strokes as you used for washing
and applying detergent.

Automatic Cool Down System

(Thermal Relief)

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach a temperature
between 125°–155°F.When the water reaches this
temperature, the automatic cool down system engages and
cools the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground. 
This system prevents internal damage to the
pump.
