    ####### To clean:

  • ■ Pour detergent in the detergent tank.
  • ■ Install the black soap tip on the spray wand.
  • ■ Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
  • ####### To rinse:

  • ■ Using the 25° spray tip, spray away from the rinsing surface for approximate 10 seconds to allow any remaining detergent to be flushed from the line.
  • ■ Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down, overlapping the strokes.
  • For the most effective cleaning, the spray tip 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.

    MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER To move the pressure washer:

  • ■ Turn the pressure washer off. Point spray tip in a safe direction and pull trigger to release water pressure.
  • ■ Tilt the machine toward you until it balanced on the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position.

    W A R N I N G Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the machine, turn off the unit, unplug from the outlet, pull trigger to release water pressure and disconnect the high pressure hose. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

    GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

    ####### W A R N I N G

    Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

    Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at an authorized service center.

    SPRAY TIP MAINTENANCE (See Figure 15.) Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or dirty spray tip.

  • ■ Unplug the pressure washer.
  • ■ Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
  • ■ Remove the spray tip from the spray wand.
  • NOTE: Never point the spray wand at your face.
