before attempting to start engine again. This will
make starting easier.
DANGER: Engine Exhaust
Do not inhale engine exhaust. It contains
dangerous carbon monoxide that can kill you.
Apply Cleaning Chemical (If Desired)
1. Make sure the chemical injector is properly set up
according to the instructions in Step 2, "Set Up for
Chemical Spraying".
2. Make sure the low pressure BLACK nozzle is
attached before beginning to spray chemicals --
Only
the low pressure black nozzle will allow chemicals to
be drawn through the chemical injector into the water
stream.
3. Apply chemicals by squeezing the spray gun trigger.
The chemical injector will draw the chemical into the
water stream.
4. The chemical concentration of the spray can be
changed by turning the chemical adjustment knob
located on the chemical injector.
5. Apply chemicals evenly to the cleaning surface.
Never use more chemical than is necessary to clean
the surface.
6. Allow the chemicals time to react with the dirt before
rinsing.
7. Prepare to rinse by changing to a high-pressure
nozzle. Changing the nozzle from the low-pressure
black nozzle to a high-pressure nozzle will stop the
flow of chemicals into the water stream.
Refer to instructions for selecting and changing
the nozzle in Step 1, "Connect Hoses, Water
Supply, and Nozzle".
8. Rinse with high-pressure spray as instructed below.
Begin High Pressure Spray
WARNING: High Pressure Spraying
Safety

Keep spray away from people. Never direct
discharge stream at or near any person. Do not allow
any part of the body to come in contact with the fluid
stream. High-pressure spray can cause serious skin,
eye, or falling injuries. Injection injury will occur if high-
pressure spray pierces the skin, injecting liquid under
the skin. Injection injury can result in blood poisoning
and/or severe tissue damage leading to infection,
gangrene and possibly amputation. Seek medical
attention.

Do not secure trigger open. To reduce risk of injury,
do not attempt to secure the spray gun open by
blocking or tying the spray gun in the open position.

Prevent slips / loss of balance . High-pressure spray
could cause you to lose balance from kickback forces,
and wet surfaces can be slippery.
-
Keep good footing and balance at all times. Do not
overreach.
-
Do not stand on unstable support when spraying.
-
If spraying from an elevated surface, use fall
protection because spray gun kickback can propel
you off the elevated surface. When spraying from a
ladder or scaffolding, ensure it is firmly anchored
from sway or tip-over.
-
Be aware of puddles and slippery surfaces. Ensure
there is adequate drainage to prevent pooling of
water.

Prevent surface damage & flying debris – Surfaces
being sprayed must be strong enough to withstand
high-pressure spray or damage may result. In
addition, high-pressure spray will dislodge unsecured
objects as well as surface chips and debris, resulting
in hazardous flying objects that can cause personal
injury or property damage. Do not spray brittle
surfaces or breakable, fragile, or unsecured objects
such as:
o
stucco or laminar flagstone
o
some painted surfaces
o
windows or glass doors (because they may break)
o
light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxes
o
unsecured, lightweight objects
Procedure:
1. Put on one of the high-pressure spray nozzles
(always relieve system pressure first and follow
instructions for attaching a nozzle).
2. Clear the cleaning area of all persons. Keep
children and pets away.
3. Hold the spray gun firmly with two hands and a
sturdy stance -- Gun kicks back when triggered.
4. Wash from the bottom to the top, using side-to-side
motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows
the detergent to soak as you work toward the top.
5. Use the width of the spray pattern to wash a wide
path. Overlap spray paths for complete coverage.
6. The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from the work,
closer for tough areas.
7. Small parts should be washed in a basket so the
pressure does not push them away. Larger,
lightweight parts should be clamped down.
8. The pressure washer is set and locked to the
maximum rated pressure when it leaves the factory.
9. To reduce the pressure, turn the unloader knob
counterclockwise.
