High Pressure Washer
How to Use the Dual Lance and
Adjust Pressure
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the pressure and
apply detergent or any other cleaning chemicals.
IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses and turn
on the water source fully before you start the engine.
Starting the engine without all the hoses connected
and without the water turned on will damage the
pump.
DANGER! Never put hands in front of
nozzle.
 Located on the side of the pump is a pressure con-
trol knob. You can increase and decrease the
pressure of the spray by turning the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise respectively (Figure 12).
 Point the nozzle toward the ground and squeeze
the trigger to test the pressure. Be careful not to
spray your feet.
 For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning sur-
face.
 If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure, you may damage the cleaning sur-
face.
 Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
automobile tires.
Applying Detergent
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses and turn
on the water source fully 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:
 Prepare the detergent solution as required by the
job.
 Hang the detergent solution on J hook of the wire-
form on the handle.
 Place small filter end of the chemical injecting tube
into the detergent container (Figure 13).
 Adjust chemical concentration knob for desired
chemical concentration.
 Open the chemical valve handle fully on the lance
by turning it counterclockwise.
IMPORTANT: Detergent cannot be applied without
the water source turned on.
 Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to
spray gun and pump (see ASSEMBLY), and start
engine.
 Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up to avoid streaking.
