Spray Fan to Pencil Jet Nozzle
Adjusting Fan Pattern (Fig. E1)
The angle of spray coming out of the spray wand may be
adjusted by rotating the nozzle. This will vary the spray pattern
from approximately a 0 ° narrow high impact stream to a 60 °
wide fan spray.
A wide fan pattern distributes the impact of the water over
a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning action with a
reduced risk of surface damage. Large surface areas can be
cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.
A narrow pencil jet stream distributes the impact of the water
in a concentrated area, resulting in a high impact force on
the cleaning surface. Use a narrow pencil jet stream for deep
cleaning in a concentrated area. However, use it cautiously, as
it may damage some surfaces.

Caution! Before operation:
uConnect the garden hose to a water supply. Water can
be drawn from a faucet or another water supply. Refer to
Self Priming under Preparing Pressure Washer Unit
for Use.
uConnect the high pressure hose to the pressure washer
and the spray handle. For instructions on connecting the
high pressure hose to the pressure washer and spray
handle, please refer to Attaching High Pressure Hose
under Assembly.
uConnect the garden hose to the pressure washer. For
instructions on connecting the water supply to the pressure
washer, please refer to Attaching Garden Hose under
Assembly.
uPlug the power cord into an appropriate power source.
Preparing Spray Handle
Important! Before turning on the pressure washer unit, disen-
gage the trigger lock-off ( 6 ) and squeeze the trigger ( 7 ).
u Disengage the trigger lock-off ( 6 ) .
uSqueeze the trigger ( 7 ). Hold the trigger for 30 seconds
to purge the system of air.
uIf air is still found in the water stream, continue to run
water through the spray handle.
Water Connection
Warning! According to the applicable regula-
tions, the appliance must never be used on
the drinking water network without a system
seperator. Use a system seperator as per IEC
61770 Type BA.
Water owing through a system seperator is
not considered drinkable.
uComply with the regulations of your water supply company.
uAll connecting hoses must have properly sealed joints.
uMake sure the supply hose is at least 12.7 mm in diameter
and is reinforced.
uThe appliance should never be used on the drinking water
supply without a backow valve. Water that has passed
the backow valve is considered undrinkable.
Cleaning a Surface
uTo start the pressure washer, press the ON button ( 9 ).
u Conrm that the water faucet is open or use any other
water source so that water will be supplied to the pressure
washer unit.
uThe best angle for spraying water against a cleaning
surface is 45 °.
uSpraying head on tends to cause dirt particles to imbed
in the surface.
uWhen working on vertical surfaces, it is best to apply
detergent starting at the bottom and working upwards
which will prevent the detergent from sliding down and
causing streaks.
uTo disengage the spray handle, release the trigger.
NOTE: Excessive pump pressure may be the result of a
clogged nozzle. Always turn OFF the pressure washer unit
and unplug the unit before attempting to unclog a nozzle.
Detergents (J1, J2, J3, J4)
For steps on attaching the detergent/soap bottle, please refer
to Attaching Soap Bottle under Assembly
The use of detergents can dramatically reduce cleaning time
and assist in the removal of difcult stains. Some detergents
have been customized for pressure washer use on specic
cleaning tasks.
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 combina-
tion with detergents and high pressure rinsing.
Moving the Pressure Washer
uTurn OFF the pressure washer unit ( 8 ) by pressing the
OFF button ( 10 ) and then turn OFF the water supply.
uPoint the spray wand ( 2 ) in a safe direction and pull the
trigger ( 7 ) to release remaining water pressure.
uWhen the spray wand is completely empty, lift the pres-
sure washer by the handle ( 11 ).
Shutdown (Fig. C)
uTurn OFF the pressure washer unit ( 8 ) by pressing the
OFF button ( 10 ) and unplug the cord from the outlet.
