switch to OFF, turn off the fuel. On model PE5024HWEBGEN, turn
the key switch to the OFF position.
7.14.2. Once all water pressure has been released you can release
the trigger on the wand.
7.15. The engine of the PE-5024HWEBGEN model is equipped with a fuel-cut off solenoid that allows
fuel to flow to the carburetor main jet when the engine switch is in the ON or START position
and stops the flow of fuel to the main jet when the engine switch is in the OFF position. The
engine must be connected to the battery to energize the fuel-cut off solenoid, allowing the
engine to run. If the battery is disconnected, fuel flow to the carburetor will stop.

With the pressure washer working as normal, it is not advisable to reduce the
pressure on the unloader valve (by twisting adjuster anti-clockwise) for long
periods of time, as this redirects a proportion of the water flow back through
the by-pass system, which increases the temperature of the pump. If the
pressure is too high, it can be reduced slightly by reducing engine speed
marginally (from 3400rpm max to around 2800rpm). If the pressure needs to
be reduced further, it is recommended to use a larger nozzle size to reduce the
pressure.
If the nozzle size is too small, it will reduce the water flow and activate the by-
pass system, which will reduce the pump life, as it will run at a higher
temperature.
The pressure washer pump will move the same volume of water whatever the
pressure. The pressure is created by the size of the nozzle. The smaller the
nozzle the higher the pressure. It is important not to go too small as this will
reduce flow, which reduces cleaning efficiency and pump lifespan.
8. SPRAY TIPS
8.1. How to use spray tips
8.1.1. The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you to switch between four different
quick connect spray tips.
8.1.2. The spray tips can be changed while pressure washer is running once spray gun safety
lock is engaged.
8.1.3. The spray tips vary the spray pattern angle as shown above.
The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces
can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation.
8.1.4. NEVER exchange spray tips without the trigger safety lock engaged on the spray gun.
8.1.5. DO NOT twist spray tips while spraying.
Page 17

8.2. Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
8.2.1. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current spray tip off.
8.2.2. Store spray tips in holder provided on the handle. Storing nozzles in the designated holder
will help prevent debris clogging the tip.
8.2.3. Select the desired spray tip:
8.2.3.1. For gentle rinse, select the white 40° spray tip.
8.2.3.2. To scour surface, select the yellow 15° or red 0° spray tip.
8.2.3.3. To apply detergent, select the black spray tip.
8.2.4. Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and release collar.
8.2.4.1. Tug on the spray tip to make sure it is securely in place.
8.3. Usage tips
8.3.1. For most effective cleaning, keep the spray tip from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning
surface.
8.3.2. If you get spray tip too close, especially using a high pressure spray tip, you may
damage surface being cleaned.
8.4. Using the Black soap nozzle.
8.4.1. To apply detergent, follow these steps:

detergent. THIS WASHER WILL ONLY DRAW SOAP WITH THE BLACK SOAPER
NOZZLE. The WHITE, RED, AND YELLOW NOZZLE WILL NOT DRAW SOAP.
8.4.2. Make sure the black spray tip is installed.
8.4.2.1. Make sure the garden hose is connected to the water inlet. Check that the high pressure
hose is
connected to the spray gun and pump.
8.4.2.2. Turn on water.
You must attach all of the hoses before you start the engine.
Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without the water
turned ON will damage the pump.
Damage to the equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will
void warranty.
8.4.3. Start the engine following instructions ‘Starting Your Washer’.
8.4.4. Apply detergent to surface, using long, even, and overlapping strokes.
8.4.5. Allow the detergent to “soak in” for 5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply as
needed to prevent the surface from drying.
8.4.6. DO NOT allow the detergent to dry on the surface being cleaned.
