6.  Turn the detergent dial to adjust the suction volume of the 

detergent solution (Fig. 17).

7.  Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry 

surface to be cleaned.

  NOTE:

 Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it 

dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.

8.  Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short 

time before rinsing. 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 the surface. Wash and rinse 

a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in 

direct sunlight.

9. 

When you have finished using the detergent injection 

system, remove the detergent suction tube from the 

detergent bottle and insert it into 1.3 gal (5 L) of fresh 

water. Siphon water at low-pressure for one minute so that 

all the detergent is flushed through the system. Remove 

the detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly 

cleaned.

m

CAUTION! 

Failure to follow these cleaning instructions 

will cause the injection system to become clogged and 

inoperable.

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 handle by pushing 

up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 14).

4.  Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle 

while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.

5. 

Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 18):

i)  The 0º intense-jet nozzle (orange) is an extremely 

powerful nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-

point jet stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits 

in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving 

stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on 

concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment. 

Use this nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including 

the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of 

lawn mowers and tractors.

  NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the 

right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or 

damaging fragile surfaces.

ii)  Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning 

jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping 

paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains, 

and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in 

areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this 

nozzle.

iii)  Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding, 

brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks. 

When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid 

surface damage.

iv)  Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items 

such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn 

equipment.

v)  Use the Soap nozzle (black) for low-pressure detergent 

application to clean equipment, remove mildew and 

oxidation stains from houses, clean bricks or degrease 

grimy surfaces.

  NOTE: When using detergent, make sure that the 

correct Soap nozzle (black) is installed. All of the other 

colored nozzles will not work for detergent application.

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

making sure to overlap the 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
