4. DETERGENT APPLICATION
NOTE:Useonlydetergentsformulated
for pressure washers.Test detergent in
an inconspicuous area before use.
DETERGENTS
The use of detergents can dramatically
reduce cleaning time and assist in
the removal of difficult stains. Many
detergents are customized for pressure
washer use on specific cleaning tasks.
Pressure washer detergents are as thick
aswater.Usingthickerdetergents–
like dish soap – will clog the chemical
injection system and prevent the
application of the detergent.
Once applied to a cleaning surface,
detergents take time to break down
dirt and grime. Detergents work best
when applied at low pressure.
You can effectively clean surfaces by
combining the chemical action of
detergents with high pressure rinses. On
vertical surfaces, apply the detergent
starting at the bottom and work your
way upward. This method prevents
the detergent from sliding down and
causing streaks. Begin high pressure
rinsing at the bottom and work your
way upward. On particularly tough
stains, use a brush in combination with
detergents and high pressure rinsing.
1. Follow manufacturer’s label
directionsformixingcorrect
concentrations of soap/detergents.
The soap detergent to water ration
throughthepumpisapproximately
10% (1 to 10).
2. Insert the filter end of the clear
plastic detergent tube into the
detergent container.
3. UsetheBLACK 65° quick connect

4. Adjust the detergent injection flow
by turning the collar of the injector.
Turning collar clockwise increases
detergent flow.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
1. Apply the detergent so that it
thoroughly covers the cleaning
surface. Apply the detergent from
bottom to top to prevent the
detergent from sliding down and
streaking. Wait a couple of minutes
for the detergent to break down the
dirtandgrime.Useabrushtolightly
scrub heavily soiled areas. NEVER
allow the detergent to dry on the
cleaning surface.
Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
2. To rinse: replace black 65° spray tip
with another color tip.
NEVER replace
quick connect
tip when gun is triggered. Always
engage trigger lock on gun before
removing or installing quick
connect tips.
3. After using detergents, flush the
suction system by placing the
detergent suction tube into a bucket
of clean water and spraying with the
black spray tip.
5. CLEANING POWER
The easiest way to regulate the cleaning
power of your pressure washer is by
changing the distance from the surface
you are cleaning. Begin spraying with a
wide fan pattern while standing several
feet from the surface. Slowly move
closer to the object you are cleaning,
adjusting the spray pattern as necessary,
until you find the most effective
cleaning technique.
NOTE: The unit also has a pressure
adjustment knob on the pump that can
adjust the pressure.
6. FINAL RINSE
The final rinse should start at the
bottom and work upward. Make sure
that you thoroughly rinse the surface
and that you remove all detergent.
7. PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
To reduce the risk of bodily injury
or property damage, always follow
this procedure whenever spraying is
stopped, when work is completed, and
before checking or repairing any part of
the system.
1. Engage the trigger safety latch.
2. Turn the unit off.
3. Shut off the water supply.
4. Disengage the trigger safety latch
and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
5. Re-engage the trigger safety latch.
6. When checking or repairing unit,
remove the ignition cable from the
spark plug.
7. Before overnight storage, long
term storage, or transporting unit,
disconnect the water supply and
turn off the fuel supply valve.
Operation (Continued)
8. SHUTDOWN
1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from
system.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
3 Turn the water supply OFF.
4. After the engine and water supply
are turned off, trigger the gun to
depressurize the system.
NEVER turn the
water supply off
before turning the engine/motor off.
Serious damage could occur to the
pump and/or engine/motor.
NEVER disconnect
the high pressure
discharge hose from the machine
while the system is pressurized. To
depressurize, turn engine/motor off,
turn water supply off and squeeze gun
trigger 2-3 times.
5. After each use, wipe all surfaces of
the pressure washer with a clean,
damp cloth.
9. STORAGE
• Donotstorethepressurewasher
outdoors.
• Donotstorethepressurewasher
where it might freeze unless it has
been properly winterized.
LONG TERM STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
(MORE THAN 30 DAYS IN STORAGE)
1. Remove fuel from the tank and run
the pressure washer in a normal
operating mode until the engine
stops from a lack of fuel. Normal
operating mode means actually
spraying water from the gun while
the engine is running.
Alternate method – Add fuel
stabilizer to gas in the tank and run
in normal operating mode for at
least five minutes.
2. Stop the engine, turn off the water
supply, and trigger the gun to
release pressure in the high-pressure
hose.
3. Disconnect the water supply and
high pressure hose from the pump.
4. Allow the engine to cool.
5. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
remove the spark plug.
6. Pour 1/2 oz. of engine oil into the
spark plug hole.
