OPERATION
APPLIYiNG DETERGENT WITH ADJUSTABLE
NOZZLE
IMPORTANT: USE SOAPS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY
--OR PRESSURE WASHERS. HOUSEHOLD DETER-
3ENTS COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST A'I-I'ACH ALL HOSES BE-
FORE YOU START THE ENGINE. STARTING THE EN-
GINE WITHOUT ALL THE HOSES CONNECTED WILL
DAMAGE THE PUMP.
Pressure washers are useful cleaning tools designed to
clean almost any surface in two easy steps.
• The first step involves applying an appropriate deter-
gent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen grime.
The detergent is applied at low pressure to avoid
splashing, overspraying and waste. Leavethe solution
on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solution to worK.
= The second step involves cleaning the surface you
have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
Prepare your detergent
solution as required by
your job.
Place small filter of the
clear, detergent syphon-
ing tube into the deter-
gent container (Fig. 14).
Set nozzle to low pres-
sure mode. Detergent is
not siphoned in the high
pressure mode (Fig. 12).

INCREASE
MIXTURE
• Start washer and apply
detergent to a dry sur-
face, starting from the
bottom and working up.
o Adjust the concentration
of detergent by turning
the knob on the deter-
gent injector (Fig. 15).
= To stop flow of deter-
gent, turn knob clock-
wise, remove filter from FIG. 1S
detergent or set nozzle
to high pressure.
NOTE: Detergents are most effective when applied to a dry
surface.
PRESSURE WASHING/RINSING
WARNING: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IF YOU
MUST USE PRESSURE WASHER FROM LADDER,
SCAFFOLDING OR ANY OTHER RELATIVELY UN-
STABLE LOCATION. PRESSURE IN A RUNNING
WASHER BUILDS IN THE WAND AS YOU CLIMB.
WHEN YOU PRESS THE TRIGGER, THE RECOIL
FROM THE INmAL SPRAY COULD FORCE YOU
TO FALL, OR IF YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE
CLEANING SURFACE, HIGH PRESSURE COULD
FORCE YOU OFF CLIMBING APPARATUS.
o Hbok up water supply (Fig. 16) and turn ON water.
o NOTE: Be sure female quick-connect is installed prop-
erly onto male connector.
QUICK-CONNECT
WATER SUPPLY
FIG, 16
• Adjust nozzle to select high pressure mode.
NOTE: Detergent will not flow when in the high pressure
mode.
• Start washer and work from the top of the surface to
the bottom.
NOTE: The high pressure mode is most effective when the
tip of the wand is held between 8 inches to two feet from
the surface being cleaned.
HOW TO USE OPTIONAL TURBO NOZZLE
• The optional rotatingturbo nozzle, inessence, expands
the area of the high pressure stream.
o You cannot adjust the spray pattern with this nozzle,
= You cannot apply detergent with this nozzle.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
To operate the engine you will need the following:
ENGINE OIL
IMPORTANT: ANY ATTEMPT TO CRANK OR START
THE ENGINE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY SERV-
ICED WITH THE RECOMMENDED OIL RESULTS tN AN
ENGINE FAILURE,
A 20 oz. bottle of SAE 30 weight oil is included in the parts
carton.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SC, SD, SE, SF, SG rated SAE 30
weight. Use no special additives. Select the oil's viscosity
grade according to your expected operating temperature.
ii ii i iiiiiii l
colder 32°F warmer
5W30 | SAE30
Although multiwiscosity oils (5W30, t0W30, etc.) improve
starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result
in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F.
Check your engine oi! level more frequently to avoid possi-
ble damage from running low on oil. Oil sump capacity is
20 ounces.
