15° Nozzle (Yellow):
This nozzle delivers a
powerful 15 degree
spray pattern for in-
tense cleaning of
small areas.
This nozzle should only be used on areas and
materials that can withstand high pressure.
25° Nozzle (Green):
This nozzle delivers a
25 degree spray pat-
tern for intense clean-
ing of larger areas.
This nozzle should only be used on areas that
can withstand pressure from this nozzle.
40° Nozzle (White):
This nozzle delivers a
40 degree spray pat-
tern and a less power-
ful stream of water.
This nozzle can cover a wide area and should
be used for most general cleaning jobs.
Detergent/chemical
Nozzle (Black): This
nozzle is used to apply
special chemicals and
cleaning solutions.
This nozzle produces the weakest pressure
stream of the five nozzles. The pressure wash-
er nozzles are stored in receptacles on a panel
mounted to the handle of the washer. Colors
on the panel identify nozzle location and spray
panel.
Interchanging Pressure Nozzles
Turn off pressure washer before attempting to
change pressure nozzles.
Follow the steps below:
· Pull slip ring of female quick-connect back
and remove pressure nozzle in pressure wand.
· Insert male end of new pressure nozzle into
quick-connect. Release slip ring of quick-con-
nect and twist pressure nozzle ensuring proper
connection.
· Listen for “click” when coupling quick-con-
nect and pull in opposite directions to ensure
the quick-connect does not come apart.
WARNING: Never place hands in front of
nozzle. Never grasp hose or fittings during
pressure washer operation.
Never attempt to attach or remove spray wand
or hose fittings while pressure washer system
is pressurized.
RINSING PRESSURE
•The water pressure can be adjusted using the
throttle lever.
• Move the throttle lever to HIGH position to
increase the engine speed, thus increasing the
water pressure. Move it towards LOW position
to decrease the engine speed, thus decreasing
the water pressure.
APPLYING DETERGENT
THIS PRESSURE WASHER HAS TWO DETER-
GENT TANK INCORPORATED.
IMPORTANT: This pressure washer is in-
tended for use with special pressure washer
detergents only. Do not use powdered soaps,
which clog the injection system. Follow the de-
tergent manufacturer’s directions.
IMPORTANT: Working with a detergent en-
sures quick soaking of the dirt, and allows the
high-pressure water to penetrate and remove
the dirt more effectively. Always spray deter-
gent on a dry surface, do not presoak the area.
Soaking the surface dilutes the detergent and
reduces its cleaning ability.
• When using detergent , always use the black
detergent nozzle.
• When applying detergents, always operate
the unit at a low water pressure (throttle le-
ver set to LOW position).This provides a gentle
application of the detergent, with the water
pressure equivalent to a garden hose. Always
test the detergent in a concealed area before
use.
DETERGENT TANKS
• Pour two types of detergents into separate
detergent tanks. It is recommended to have
one detergent tank filled with all-purpose
detergent, and the other filled with a more
specific cleaning detergent, depending on the
surface to be cleaned.
• The liquid detergent will be mixed with wa-
ter automatically, and discharged through the
detergent nozzle at a low pressure.
