4. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry
surface to be cleaned. Applying detergent in this manner
will dissolve dirt most effectively.
NOTE:
Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it
dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
m
CAUTION!
Always test the detergent in an
inconspicuous area before use.
6. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short
time before rinsing with the pressure washer. Do not allow
the detergent to dry on the surface.
m
CAUTION!
Damage may occur to painted surfaces
if the detergent is allowed to dry on them. Wash and rinse a
small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in
direct sunlight.
Rinsing with the Pressure Washer
1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
2.
Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger to lock the trigger
(Fig. 9).
4. Remove the detergent bottle with foam cannon by holding
the bottle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
5. Select the right nozzle for the job:
1) Spray Nozzle
This nozzle creates the widest area of cleaning with relatively
low pressure. It is intended for light or delicate cleaning
applications such as wood decks and other soft or delicate
surfaces.
2) Turbo Nozzle
This nozzle rotates in a zero to 15 degree circular motion
spray pattern to break down tough dirt and grime. It covers
an area of 4 to 8 inches wide, depending on the distance
between the tip and the surface being cleaned.
6. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work your way
down, making sure to overlap your strokes.
m
IMPORTANT!
NEVER USE:
• Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the
cleaning surface.
Shutting Down
1. Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. Disconnect the garden hose from washer water inlet.
5. Disconnect the pressure hose from the trigger gun.
6. Release the trigger and engage the safety lock.
m
WARNING!
Turn off the water supply and squeeze the
trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.
Taking a Break
If you are taking a break of five minutes or more between
cleaning tasks:
1.
Engage the gun safety lock (Fig. 9).
2. Turn the switch to the OFF (0) position.
3. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Storage
m
CAUTION!
Always store your pressure washer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below 32ºF (0ºC).
The pump in this machine is susceptible to permanent damage
if it freezes.
FREEZE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
• Store the pressure washer indoors in a dry, covered area
where it is not subject to adverse weather conditions.
• It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.
• Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the
foam cannon before storing.
m
CAUTION!
The use of a pump protector is
recommended to prevent cold weather damage during storage
over the winter months.
Winte Long-Term Storage
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where
the temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the
chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
• Disconnect all water connections.
• Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining
water in the pump exits. Turn off immediately.
• Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
• Store the machine and accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures.
• Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that
may dry out the pump seals.
• Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic
anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before
storing for the winter.

WARNING!
Before reusing, completely flush the unit
out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage
paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the
system before using it again.
