Pressure Washer Rinsing
WARNING! Be extremely careful if you must
use the pressure washer from a ladder, scaffolding
or any other relatively unstable location. Hose
water pressure builds as you climb. When you press
the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray can be
very strong. The high pressure spray could force
you to fall if you are too close to the cleaning
surface.
After you have applied detergent, scour the surface
and rinse it clean as follows:
• Apply safety latch to spray gun.
• Remove the black chemical nozzle from the nozzle
extension.
• Select and install the desired high pressure nozzle
following the instructions “How to Use the Nozzles” on
page 8.
• Release the safety latch on the spray gun.
• Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you
plan to spray.
• Increase or decrease spray pressure by turning the
pressure control knob counterclockwise or clockwise
respectively (Figure 12). Use lower pressure to wash
items such a as a car or boat. Use higher pressure to
strip paint and degrease driveways.
• Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check the surface for damage. If no damage is found, you
can assume it is okay to continue cleaning.
• Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.
Automatic Cool Down System
(Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach a temperature
between 140–145°F. When the water reaches this
temperature, the automatic cool down system engages and
cools the pump by discharging the warm water onto
the ground. This system prevents internal damage to the
pump.
