WARNING:

Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is
pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could

USING THE DETERGENT INJECTOR
See Figures 12 - 13.
The G-Clean detergent injector allows you to use G-Clean
detergent while using your pressure washer for high and low
pressure cleaning.
NOTE: Use only G-Clean detergent in the injector. Any other
solutions may damage the injector and/or your pressure
washer pump.
Disconnect pressure washer from power supply.
Place pressure washer upright on a flat surface.
Unscrew the cap from the end of the clear tube on the
injector. Remove G-Clean detergent pouch from plastic
bag and place into the tube, then replace the cap and
tighten securely.
NOTE: Make sure the cap is securely tightened. Allowing
air into the injector during use may cause damage to your
pressure washer pump.
Use the detergent dial on the G-Clean detergent injector
to adjust the amount of soap used during operation.
To rinse with no detergent, turn the dial completely clock-
wise.
To clean, turn the detergent dial counter clockwise to
desired soap level.
NOTE: If a G-Clean detergent pouch is inserted but de-
tergent is not dispensed, check the dial to ensure that it
is not turned fully clockwise. If the dial is set correctly,
ensure that the detergent pouch has fully dissolved. If
detergent is still not dispensed, remove the G-Clean de-
tergent injector. Unscrew the injector head from the clear
detergent container and flush the screen with water.
USING THE SPRAY WAND
See Figure 14.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 24 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
NOTE: For greater control and safety, keep both hands on
the unit at all times.
