USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The high pressure hose features an outer covering that pro-
vides strength to the hose. If the outer covering becomes
damaged, the hose must be replaced immediately. Do not
use a high pressure hose if the outer covering is damaged.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
Inspect the hose before every use.
Fully unwrap and straighten hose before use.
Do not allow the high pressure hose to be kinked.
Keep hose away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.
Do not pull unit by high pressure hose.
Do not allow hose to be crushed or wrapped around
objects.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 18 - 19.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
Remove the cap from the detergent container and pour
detergent in the container. Replace cap on container.
Rotate the spray selector on the 5-in-1 Change Over
Nozzle to either the Soap Short Range [ ] or Soap Long
Range [ ] setting.
Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
NOTE: To use a detergent bottle, open the detergent container
cap. Next, remove the filter from the end of the injection hose
then slide the hose out of the cap. Place the injection hose
filter back on the hose and place the hose in the bottom of
the bottle.

With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the Soap Long Range
[
] setting.
For short range detergent application:
With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the Soap Short Range
[

Before shutting off the engine:
Place the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.
Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the
spray wand).
Shut off the engine.
