C A U T I O N Do not run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on.
OPERATION C A U T I O N Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of control and injury to yourself and others. NOTE: AUTO ON/OFF SWITCH: This pressure washer is equipped with an auto start/stop feature. To operate: Set the power switch to the On (I) position. Pump will pressurize and shut down immediately. Once the trigger of the gun is depressed, the unit will turn on.
OPERATION USING THE SPRAY TIPS (See Figure 9) Each of the spray tips has a different spray pattern. Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best spray tip for the job.
