RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Rotate the spray selector on the 5-in-1 Change Over
Nozzle to either the [40º], [25º], or [0º] setting depending
on the job. Refer to the chart in Using the 5-in-1 Change
Over Nozzle to determine which setting is correct for your
application.
When using these settings, test a small area first to avoid
surface damage.
Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
USING THE SURFACE CLEANER
See Figures 23 - 25.
Assemble the trigger handle and spray wand as described
previously in this manual.
Insert surface cleaner inlet plug into the spray wand quick
connect coupler and push ends together until coupler
snaps into position.
Start the pressure washer as described earlier in this
manual.
Walk slowly behind the surface cleaner, cleaning as you
go.
NOTE: If striping or swirling occurs, slow your pace.
If problem continues, see Troubleshooting later in this
manual.
WARNING:
Striking any raised obstacle while using the surface
cleaner will damage the unit. If contact does occur and
causes vibration when operating the pressure washer,
stop and replace the spray bar. Continuing to operate
the unit without replacing the spray bar could result in
serious injury or damage to the unit.
NOTE: See figure 29 for the location of the spray bar.
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 20 - 22.
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.

Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the
spray wand).
Shut off the engine.
