position to start the pressure washer.
6. When re-starting the motor, always keep the trigger

WARNING!
High-pressure jets can be dangerous if

2. The water pressure can be adjusted from low pressure (–)
to high pressure (+) by turning the pressure adjustment
knob. The nozzle tip can be adjusted from pencil spray

WARNING!
Do not adjust the nozzle while the trigger
is squeezed. Failure to do so could result in damage.
Working with detergents
When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks
can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning
with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.
m
WARNING!
To apply detergents, you must use the low
pressure setting. This setting will gently apply the detergent
at a pressure equivalent to a low-set garden hose. The
high-pressure setting is used for rinsing. You cannot apply
detergents when working at high pressure.
m
WARNING!
Use only detergents specifically designed
for use with pressure washers. DO NOT USE household
detergents, acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents,
flammable material, or industrial grade solutions. These could
damage the pressure washer. Many detergents may require
mixing prior to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed
on the solution bottle.
1. Set the adjustable nozzle to the low-pressure, fan-spray
setting (Fig. 17).
