1. Press chemical hose onto barbed fitting located
near high pressure hose connection of pump as
shown.
Barbed
Fitting
2. Place other end of chemical hose with filter on it
into container holding chemical/cleaning solution.
3. Install low pressure (black) nozzle into quick
connect fitting of wand as shown.
OPERATION
Quick Connect
Coupler
4. After use of chemical, siphon clean water through
chemical hose to rinse it and pump clean. Chemi-
cals which remain in pump can damage it. Damage
to pump due to chemicals will not be covered
under warranty.
NOTE
Chemicals and soap will not siphon when
using high pressure nozzles.
The nozzles are housed in receptacles on the panel of
the pressure washer handle. Color squares on the
panel identify nozzle location and spray pattern.
NOTE
A nozzle is easier to remove from its
receptacle if it is pushed from underneath
while it is being pulled from above.
