USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING:
Injection hazard. Fully unwrap and straighten high
pressure hose prior to and during each use and do
not allow it to become kinked. The high pressure hose
features an outer covering that provides strength to the
hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, stop using
the hose and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged
hose can develop a high pressure leak and result in a
possible injection or other serious personal injury.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
Inspect the hose before every use.
Fully unwrap and straighten hose before use.
Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.
Keep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.
Do not pull unit by high pressure hose.
Do not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped around
objects.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 14 - 15.
As sold, this unit is designed for use with “downstream” pres-
sure washer detergents. To convert for use with “upstream”
detergents. Contact customer service or a qualified service
center for more information.
NOTICE:
USE ONLY DETERGENTS DESIGNED FOR PRESSURE
WASHERS.
Do not use household detergents, acids,
alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or
industrial grade solutions, which can damage the pump
or cause property damage. Many detergents may
require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning solution
as instructed on the solution bottle. Always test in an
inconspicuous area before beginning.
Remove the cap from the soap tank and pour pressure
washer detergent in the tank. Replace cap on tank.
NOTE:
The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which usu-
ally allows the use of 1 gallon pressure washer detergent
without further dilution. Check your detergent instructions
to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.
Install the blue soap nozzle on the spray wand.
Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds for
the detergent to appear.
Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
Fill the soap tank with clean water.
Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the
tank is empty.
If any soap remains in the spray, repeat with a second
tank of clean water.
Shut off the engine.
NOTE:
Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure
in the system.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

area.
Select the right nozzle for the job. See the chart shown
earlier in the manual for selecting the appropriate nozzle.
Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
USING PUMP PROTECTOR
See Figure 16.
Regular use of a commercially available pump protector
prolongs the life of the pressure washer by removing hard
water mineral deposits, lubricating pump seals and pistons,
and preventing freeze damage. Pump protector should
be added to the unit after every use and before storage.
Pump protector can be purchased at the retailer where you
purchased your pressure washer, or by calling customer
service.
The instructions that follow are typical for adding pump
protector but you should always verify the specific instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.
Turn off the pressure washer engine and shut off the water
supply.
Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Disconnect garden hose and high pressure hose.
