Pressure Washer Rinsing
WARNING!
Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from a ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. Pressure in a running washer builds
as you climb. When you press the trigger, the
recoil from the initial spray could force you to
fall. The high pressure spray could also force
you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning
surface.
After you have applied detergent, scour the
surface and rinse it clean as follows:
Apply Safety Latch to spray gun.
Remove the black chemical nozzle from the nozzle
extension.
Select and install the desired high pressure nozzle
following the instructions How to Use the Nozzles
on page 10.
Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area
you plan to spray.
Increase or decrease the pressure of the spray by
turning the pressure control knob counterclockwise
or clockwise respectively (Figure 11). Use lower
pressure to wash items such a as a car or boat.
Use higher pressure to strip paint and degrease
driveways.
Apply a high pressure spray to an small area and
then check the surface for damage. If no damage
is found, you can assume 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 cleaning.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
35 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray
gun, circulating water in the pump can reach a
temperature between 140145°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.
