Pre-operation
NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTI-
ONS
A clogged or partially clogged nozzle can
cause a significant reduction of water
coming out of the nozzle and cause the unit
to pulsate while spraying. To clean out the
nozzle:
•Turn off and unplug unit.
•Turn off water supply. Relieve any
pressure trapped in the hose by squeezing
trigger 2-3 times.
•Separate lance from gun.
•Rotate nozzle to the narrow stream setting.
This opens up the fan blades.
•Using included tip cleaner, or an unfolded
paper clip, insert wire into the nozzle hole
and move back and forth until debris is
dislodged. ( See Figure 1.)
•Remove additional debris by
back-flushing water through the nozzle. To
do this, place end of a garden hose ( with
water running ) to end of nozzle for 30-60
seconds.
ANGLE TO THE CLEANING
SURFACE
When spraying water against a surface,
maximum impact is generated when the
water strikes the surface “head on.”
However, this type of impact tends to cause
dirt particles to imbed in the surface,
thereby preventing the desired cleaning
action.
The optimum angle for spraying water
against a cleaning surface if 45 degrees.
7

Spraying water against a surface at this
angle provides for the most beneficial
impact force combined with efficient
removal of debris from the surface.
DISTANCE FROM CLEANLING
SURFACE
Another factor that determines the impact
force of the water is the distance from the
spray nozzle to the cleaning surface. The
impact force of the water is increased as the
nozzle is moved closer to the surface.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING
SURFACES
Damage to cleaning surfaces occurs
because the impact force of the water
exceeds the durability of the surface. The
impact force can be varied by controlling
the three previously noted items. Never use
a narrow high impact stream or a
turbo/rotary nozzle on a surface that is
susceptible to damage. Avoid spraying
windows with a narrow high impact stream
or turbo nozzle as this may cause breakage
The surest way to avoid damaging surfaces
is to follow these steps:
1. Before triggering the gun, adjust the
nozzle to a wide fan pattern.
2.Place the nozzle approximately 4-5 feet
from and 45 degrees to the cleaning
surface, and trigger the gun.
3. Vary the fan pattern spray angle and the
distance to the cleaning surface until
optimum cleaning efficiency is achieved
without damaging the surface.
TURBO NOZZLE (NOT INCLUDED WITH
ALL MODELS)
A turbo nozzle, sometimes referred to as a
rotary nozzle, is a very effective tool that
can significantly reduce cleaning time. The
turbo nozzle combines the power of a
narrow high impact stream and the
efficiency of a 25 degree fan pattern. This
8

swirls the narrow high impact stream into a
cone shape that cleans a larger area.
CAUTION: Since a turbo nozzle uses a
narrow high impact stream, only use it in
applications where the cleaning surface
cannot be damaged by narrow high impact
spray. Additionally, the turbo nozzle is NOT
adjustable and cannot be used to apply
detergent.
WATER INLET SCREEN
The water inlet filter must be inspected regularly, so as to avoid blockage and restriction in the water
supply to the pump (fig 2).
USING DETERGENT
Add detergent to the container. Set the Adjustable Spray Wand at low pressure position.
Trigger gun to spray detergent.
Foam cleaning method
Be sure to insert the cleaning solution in the built-in suction pot and remove the tip as shown in the
figure 3.

DETERGENTS
The use of detergents can dramatically
reduce cleaning time and assist in the
removal of difficult stains. Some detergents
have been customized for pressure washer
use on specific cleaning tasks. These
detergents are approximately as thick as
water. The use of thicker detergents, such
as dish soap, will clog the chemical injection
system and prevent the application of the
detergent.
The cleaning power of detergents comes
from applying them to a surface and giving
the chemicals time to break down the dirt
and grime. Detergents work best when
applied at low pressure.
The combination of chemical action and
high pressure rinsing is very effective. On
vertical surfaces, apply the detergent
starting at the bottom and work your way
upward. This will prevent the detergent from
sliding down and causing streaks. High
pressure rinsing should also progress from
the bottom to top. On particularly tough
stains, it may be necessary to use a brush
in combination with detergents and high
pressure rinsing.
Operation
The following cleaning procedure will help
you to organize your cleaning task, and
ensure that you achieve the most beneficial
results in the shortest amount of time.
Remember to use the spraying/cleaning
techniques previously listed.
1. Surface preparation
Before starting a pressure wash cleaning
job, it is important to prepare the surface
that is to be cleaned. This is done by
cleaning the area of furniture, and making
sure that all windows and doors are closed
tight. In addition, you should make sure that
all plants and trees adjacent to the cleaning
area are protected by a drop cloth. This will
ensure that your plants won’t be sprayed by
the detergents.
2. Initial High Pressure Rinse
The next step is to spray the cleaning
surface with water to clear off any dirt or
grime that may have collected on the
surface. This will allow your detergent to
attack the deep down dirt that has worked
its way into the cleaning surface. Before
triggering the gun, adjust the nozzle to a
wide fan pattern and slowly adjust to the
10

desired spray pattern. This will help you
avoid applying too much concentrated
spray to the surface which could cause
damage.
3. Final Rinse
start final rinse at bottom an work upward.
Make sure you thoroughly rinse the surface
and that all detergent has been removed.
4. Shut down
1. Be sure all detergent is flushed from
system.
2. Turn off motor.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. After motor and water supply are turned
off, trigger gun to depressurize system.
CAUTION: NEVER turn water supply off
before turning motor off. Serious damage
could occur to the pump and/ or motor.
WARNING! NEVER disconnect high
pressure discharge hose from machine
while system is pressurized. To
depressurize, turn motor off, turn water
supply off and squeeze gun trigger 2-3
times.
5. After each use, wipe all surfaces of the
pressure washer with a clean, damp cloth.
5. Storage
Do not store pressure washer outdoors.
Do not store pressure washer where it
might freeze.
TIPS FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
1. Never operate unit without water.
2. Pressure washer is not meant to pump
hot water. Never connect to hot water
supply – this will significantly reduce life of
the pump.
3. Using detergent other than others brand
may cause damage to pump components
(o-rings, etc.).This also applies to chemicals
such as bleach, dish soap, etc.
4. Never operate unit for more than one (1)
minute without spraying water. Resulting
heat buildup will damage pump.
5. Before adjusting nozzle’s pressure
(high-to-low or low-to-high) release trigger.
Failure to do so will reduce life of o-rings in
lance.
