For most effective cleaning, keep the spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
surface being cleaned.
Do Not
get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires.
Applying Detergent with the
Adjustable Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers.
Household detergents could
damage the pump.
IMPORTANT:
You must
attach all hoses
before you
start the engine. Starting the engine without all the
hoses connected and without the water turned ON will
damage the pump.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
Prepare detergent solution as required by the job.
Hang the detergent solution on the hook of the
wireform attached to the handle (Figure 15).
Place the small filter end of the detergent siphoning
tube into the detergent container (Figure 15).
CAUTION:
Keep the detergent siphoning tube
from coming in contact with the hot muffler. This
will damage the plastic tube. When inserting the
filter into a cleaning solution bottle, route the
tube so as to keep it from inadvertently
contacting the hot muffler.
Make sure the garden hose is connected to the
water inlet. Check that the high pressure hose is
connected to the spray gun and the pump.
Start the engine, then attach the nozzle extension.
Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with the nozzle
in high pressure position.
Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up.
Allow the detergent to soak in for 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying.
For washing, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even,
overlapping strokes.
