OPERATION
Distance from Cleaning Surface
The distance between the spray nozzle and the cleaning
surface affects the impact force of the water . The
impact force of the water increases as the
nozzle is moved closer to the surface . You can vary the
impact force by controlling
1 . The nozzle’s fan pattern .
2 . The nozzle’s angle to the cleaning surface .
3 . The nozzle’s distance from the cleaning surface .
Never use a narrow high impact stream on a surface that
is susceptible to damage . Avoid spraying windows with
a narrow high impact stream or turbo nozzle . Doing so
may break the glass .
1 . Before triggering the gun, select a nozzle with a wide
fan pattern .
2 . Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet away from
the cleaning surface . Then hold the nozzle at a 45º
degree angle to the cleaning surface . Trigger the gun .
3 . Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the distance
to the cleaning surface until optimum cleaning
efficiency is achieved without damaging the surface .
Your unit is equipped with a quick connect nozzle port .
Choose the appropriate nozzle tip for the job you are
performing .
A wide fan pattern distributes the impact of the water
over a larger area resulting in excellent cleaning action
with reduced risk of surface damage . Clean large surface
areas quickly using a wide fan pattern .
High Pressure Wash
The narrow high impact spray can damage some
surfaces .
CAUTION
Always engage the trigger safety latch when the unit
is not in use .
CAUTION
The trigger safety latch prevents the gun from being
triggered accidentally . Push the latch fully down to
engage it .
This pressure washer uses a pump that is equipped
with an automatic thermal relief valve . The thermal
relief valve will automatically open after approximately 2
minutes passing, without the pulling of the gun trigger,
while the engine is running . Running the engine and not
pulling the trigger causes the water temperature inside
the pump to heat up . When the temperature exceeds
140º F (60º C), or after approximately 2 minutes of non-
gun use, the thermal relief valve automatically activates .
When the valve is activated, it opens to allow fresh/cool
water flow into the pump and hot water to escape . As a
result of the valve opening, hot water inside the pump
will spray out through the Thermal Relief Valve . When
the pump cools, the valve automatically closes .
Water leaving the valve and/or gun after the valve has
become activated may be hot . Make sure the pressure
washer is in a location that is not sensitive to hot water,
and has a clearance space around it of a minimum
distance of 3 feet . DO NOT point the gun at any animal,
human, or surface to avoid any damage and/or injury
caused by hot and/or pressurized water

Detergent Use
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning
time and assist in the removal of difficult stains . Many
detergents are customized for pressure washer use on
specific cleaning tasks . Pressure washer detergents are
as thick as water . Using thicker detergents – like dish
soap – will clog the chemical injection system .
You can effectively clean surfaces by combining the
chemical action of detergents with high pressure rinses . On
vertical surfaces, apply the detergent starting at the
bottom and work your way upward . This method prevents
the detergent from sliding down and causing streaks . Begin
high pressure rinsing at the bottom and work
your way upward . On particularly tough stains, use a brush
in combination with detergents and high pressure rinsing .
Use only detergents specially formulated for pressure washers .
NOTE
It is recommended that the inlet water temperature not
exceed 104º F (40º C) .
