STARTING AND STOPPING THE PRESSURE
WASHER
See Figure 11.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pressure washer pump without water sup-
ply connected and turned on, as this may damage the
high pressure seals and decrease pump life. Completely
unwind the hose from its reel or coil and make sure the
hose is not being restricted by tires, rocks, or any other
objects that may lessen or prevent water flow to the
pressure washer.
Connect the garden hose.
Turn the garden hose on then squeeze the high pressure
trigger to relieve air pressure. Once a steady stream of
water appears, release the trigger.
After ensuring the switch is in the OFF position, connect
the pressure washer to the power supply.
Press the reset button on the pressure washer’s plug to
make sure the unit is ready for operation.
Press ON ( I ) on the switch to start the motor.
To stop the motor, release the trigger and press OFF
( O ) on the switch.
WARNING:
Hold the handle and wand securely with both hands.
Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is
pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could
cause loss of control and injury to yourself and others.
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.
Lay the pressure washer on its back as shown.
To remove the detergent tank, turn the tank counterclock-
wise.
If needed, remove the screen with gasket and clean.
Before first use, remove G-Clean detergent pouch from
plastic bag and place into the tube, then reassemble the
screen with gasket.
Reinstall the detergent tank and turn counterclockwise
to tighten.
NOTE: Make sure the tank is securely tightened. Allow-
ing air into the injector during use may cause damage to
your pressure washer pump.
To rinse with no detergent, turn the dial to WATER.
To clean, turn the detergent dial to G-CLEAN.
NOTE: If a G-Clean detergent pouch is inserted but de-
tergent is not dispensed, check the dial to ensure that it
is set to G-Clean. If the dial is set correctly, ensure that
the detergent pouch has fully dissolved. If detergent is
still not dispensed, remove the detergent tank and screen
and flush the screen with water to clean.
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.
Several different methods of cleaning are available. Choose
the method best suited for your cleaning project.
