OPERATION
FIG. 16
FIG. 17
l Point the spray gun in a safe direction and pull the
trigger to release the water pressure.
l Install the soap nozzle. This unit applies detergent
under low pressure using the soap nozzle only.
l Fill the soap tank with a properly formulated detergent-
to-water ratio, following the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE: Use detergents designed for pressure washers.
The detergent should be the consistency of water. DO
NOT use thick, gel-like detergents, as they will clog the
pressure washer and can cause damage.
l Turn the water on and start the pressure washer.
l Squeeze the trigger and wait several seconds for
detergent to appear in the water stream.
l Start cleaning at the bottom of the surface and work
your way up in a side-to-side motion. Do not allow soap
to dry on the surface being cleaned.
l Release the trigger to stop the pressure washer.
l Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before
squeezing the trigger again.
NOTE: Squeezing the trigger rapidly will cause the auto-
start feature to miss an on/off cycle and may prevent
the washer from turning on. Use slow, deliberate trigger
pulls to avoid this.
l When you are nished, remove excess detergent from
the soap tank and ll it with clean water. Spray the water
through the soap nozzle to ush the system.
To clean without detergent:
l Stop the pressure washer and turn the water faucet
completely off.
l Point the spray gun in a safe direction and pull the
trigger to release the water pressure.
l If installed, remove the soap nozzle.
l Install an appropriate nozzle for the task you are
performing.
l Turn the water on and start the pressure washer.
l Release the safety lock and begin pressure washing by
squeezing the trigger all the way into the handle.
NOTE: Always test in a small inconspicuous area to
avoid or reduce damage.
l Start cleaning at the bottom of the surface and work
your way up in a side-to-side motion.
OPERATING TIPS
l It is normal to hear the motor run intermittently when the
trigger is not being squeezed. The pump is priming itself
to operate when the trigger is squeezed again.
l To avoid damaging surfaces:
• Always use an appropriate nozzle
• Reduce water pressure by adjusting the angle of
the stream or by increasing the distance from the
nozzle to the surface.
l Always spray detergent on a dry surface. Do not pre-
soak surface. Wetting the surface rst dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
l For tough stains, it may be necessary to reapply the
detergent and use a bristled brush to scrub the stain.
l Keep a nozzle cleaning tool nearby for unclogging the
nozzles.
l The O-rings in the high pressure hose should be cleaned
regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease
such as petroleum jelly.
l Turn off the pressure washer after ve minutes of
inactivity.
