ADJUSTABLE SPRAY NOZZLE
The adjustable spray nozzle can adjust from fan to jet in the high-pressure
position only. The spray is adjusted by turning the nozzle (Fig.8).
CAUTION: The jet spray adjustment is very powerful, and potentially
damaging.
For most cleaning applications, a 20°spray angle should be used to avoid
damage to the surface being sprayed.
NOTE: The pressure of the spray on the surface you are cleaning increases
as you move the wand closer to the surface.
To increase angle to a fan spray, turn counter-clockwise.

HIGH-PRESSURE/TURBO SPRAY
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust the turbo nozzle.
The high-pressure turbo nozzle (Fig.9) is intended for maximum

CLEANING Techniques
When cleaning with thepressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be completed
with water alone,but for most tasks it is advantageous to use a detergent.
A detergent ensures a quick soaking of the dirt allowing the high-pressure
water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively.
The low-pressure position provides a gentle application of detergent.
This position is alsorecommended to rinse a surface after wax application or
for other applications that require the low-pressure of a garden hose.
Low-pressure is the equivalent of a garden hose set at the lowest output to
properly apply detergent.
APPLICATION OF DETERGENT
1. Apply the solution to a DRY work surface. NOTE: WETTING THE
SURFACE FIRST IS NOT RECOMMENDED, AS IT DILUTES THE
DETERGENT AND REDUCES ITS CLEANING ABILITY.
On a vertical surface, apply horizontally form side to side starting from the
bottom to avoid streaking.
2. Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing.
CAUTION: Damage may occur to painted surface if chemical is allowed to
dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working
on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
3. Rinse with clean water under high-pressure. On a vertical surface,
first rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top down. Hold nozzle 6-8″
from the work surface at a 45°angle using the flat spray as a peeling tool
rather than a scrub brush.
NOTE: Ensure that thedetergent injection system is completely clean prior
to switching from one detergent to another.
CLEANING Techniques
APPLICATION OF DETERGENT
CAUTION:
NOTE:

NOTE: Completely screw the nozzles on the wand up to the complete lock.
(See picture)
Reconnect and restart the pressure wahser and depress the trigger on the
spray gun. If the pressure is still too high, repeat above items 1-4.
LUBRICATION
The pressure washer is designed with a permanent lubrication system.
Conventional oil check and oil changes are not necessary.
NOTE: A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL LEAKAGE IS NORMAL.
WATER SCREEN
The pressure wsher is equipped with a water inlet screen to protect the pump.
CAUTION: If the screenis not kept clean, the flow of water to the
pressurewasher will be restricted and the pump may be damaged.
To clean inner water screen, remove quick-connect and remove the filter
screen from the pump inlet.
Backflush screen to clean.
Replace screen and quick-connect immediately to prevent any foreign matter
from entering the pump.

CAUTION:
1. Make sure that the pressure washer is turned off and that the power cord
is unplugged.
2. Make sure that the water supply is turned off, and that the trigger is

3. Separate the nozzle from the wand (Fig.12)
4. Clear the nozzle.
5. Flush the nozzle backwards with water.
6. Reconnect the nozzle to the wand.
!!
CAUTION

CAUTION: Do not damage the screen while removing or cleaning.
Any foreign particles entering the pump may cause damage.
COOLING SYSTEM
The air vents, located in and around the pressure washer, must be kept clean
and free of any obstructions to ensure proper air cooling of the motor during
operation.
WARNING: Prevent water from penetrating the vents of the pressure
washer to minimise the risk of damage to the machine and to reduce
the risk of electric shock to the operator.
MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Always store your pressure washer in a location where
the temperature will not fall below 0℃（32°F）. The pump in this
machine is susceptible to permanent damage if frozen.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY FREEEZING IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where the temperature
is below 0℃（32°F）, you can minimise the chance of damage to your machine
by utilizing the following procedure:
1. Stop the pressure washer
2. Squeeze the trigger of the discharge gun to drain all water from the wand
and hose.
3. Detach supply hose and high-pressure hose.
4. Restart the pressure washer and let it run briefly (about 5 seconds) until
water no longer discharges from the high pressure outlet.
