Usage Tips
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle from 8 to
24 inches (20 to 61 cm) away from cleaning surface.
If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high
pressure mode, you may damage surface being
cleaned.
DO NOT get closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when
cleaning tires.
Applying Detergent with the Adjustable Nozzle
Your pressure washer is equipped with dual cleaning tanks
and a variable soap tank control knob to control the
concentration of soap dispensed from either tank.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of adjustable nozzle.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Turn the variable control knob (A) to the right to
increase the concentration of soap from the right tank
into the pressure spray. Turn the variable control knob
to the left to increase the concentration of soap mixed
into the pressure spray from the left tank. Center the
control knob to prevent the flow of soap into the
pressure spray.
4. Pull a cleaning tank (B) out from the side of the unit by
grasping the formed handle in the tank and pulling out
the handle side.
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect hose attached to bottom of
cleaning tank.
5. Open snap-fit cap on cleaning tank and fill the tank with
prepared detergent solution. A small funnel may help
with this task.
6. Press cleaning tank lid back down onto tank opening.
7. Fit cleaning tank back into opening. First, fully insert the
side that is attached to the pressure washer. Second,
press in the handle side until it snaps in place.
8. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure mode.
Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in high
pressure position.
9. Turn the variable soap control knob to the tank and
level of soap concentration desired.
10. Press trigger lock (red button), pull spray gun trigger
and apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
11. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on
(prevents streaking).
Pressure Washer Rinsing
For Rinsing:
1. Slide the nozzle backward to high pressure, press the
trigger and wait for the detergent to clear.
2. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you
plan to spray.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then check
the surface for damage. If no damage is found, it is
okay to continue cleaning.
4. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes as you used for washing
and applying detergent.
