of spray nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
You could be injured.
HOW TO USE THE-ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you
can slide forward and backward and that you can
also twist from side to side. With the adjustable noz-
zle you can adjust the spray pattern to be either high
pressure or low pressure. You can also adjust the
spray so it is concentrated in a stream pattern or
expanded into a fan pattern.
• Slide the nozzle forward when you wish to adjust
the spray to low pressure mode. Slide the nozzle
backward to achieve high pressure.

For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning sur-
face.
• If you get spray nozzle too close, especiallyusing
highpressure mode, you may damage the clean-
ing surface.
APPLYING DETERGENT AND CLEANING WITH
ADJUSTABLE NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents coulddam-
age the pump.
IMPORTANT: You must attach all hoses before you
start the engine. Startingthe engine withoutall the
hoses connectedand withoutthe water turned ON
willdamage the pump.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
• Prepare the detergent solution as requiredby the
job.
Hang the detergent solutionon the "J" hook on
the wire form on the guide handle.
Place smallfilter on the clear, chemical injection
tube into the detergent container.
• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pres-
sure mode. Detergent cannot be applied with
nozzle in high pressure position.
Note: The first step involvesapplying an appropriate
detergent/solvent solutionto penetrate and loosen
grime. The detergent is applied at low pressure to
avoid splashing,oversprayingand waste. Leave the
solutionon surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solu-
tion to work.
Note: The second step involvescleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressurewasher and
then rinsingit clean.
Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
Connect garden hose to water inlet (see "TO
START PRESSURE WASHER"), check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump (see ASSEMBLY), and start engine.
For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, usinglong, even over-
lapping strokes.
Allow the detergent to soak in between 3-5 min-
utes before washing and rinsing.
