WARNING Failure to read and follow the Owner’s Manual and all operating instructions can result in death, bodily injury, and/or property damage. Warning Running engines give off carbon monoxide an odourless, colourless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or death. • Operate this product ONLY outdoors. • Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.
SAFETY A pressure washer is a power tool that sprays water at high pressure to clean large, sturdy surfaces such as buildings, farm equipment and roads. Pressure washers may be used more often during a natural disaster clean-up; the risk of injury may be higher at that time. When using a pressure washer, always follow the safety instructions included in the Owner’s Manual. Risks • The strong spray from a pressure washer can cause serious wounds that might first appear minor.
Safety Recommended Types of Eye Protection • Always wear eye protection. • Before selecting appropriate eye protection for users at a job site, assess the conditions and hazards and follow these recommendations: • At the very least, wear safety glasses with side protection. • Wear goggles when more protection is needed. • Consider using hybrid eye safety products with the comfort of glasses, the enclosure of goggles, and better breathability.

SPRAY TIPS ANGLE COLOUR PRESSURE USAGE 0° RED MAXIMUM HEAVY DUTY 15° YELLOW HIGH ROUGH SURFACE 25° GREEN MEDIUM VINYL AND WOOD 40° WHITE DELICATE VEHICLE SOAP BLACK LOW WITH DETERGENT Spray tip combinations may vary by model. Your Powerplay™ pressure washer has multiple attachments. Pressure washers operate on pressure (PSI) and volume of water (GPM) that is supplied to the soiled area that requires cleaning. Depending on the job, you can select from different quick-change tips.
DETERGENT INJECTOR Using water only can complete some cleaning jobs, but for most job requirements, a detergent is recommended in order to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively. When using a pressure washer approved detergent, make sure the surface is dry. Wetting the surface first is not recommended. It will dilute the detergent and will reduce the cleaning effectiveness. Avoid hot surfaces or direct sunlight. This will minimize the chances of the detergent damaging the painted surface.
