Before starting a pressure wash cleaning job, it is important to prepare the surface that is to be
cleaned. This is done by clearing 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.
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.
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 desired spray pattern. This will help you avoid applying too much concentrated
spray to the surface which could cause damage.
Start final rinse at bottom and work upward. Make sure you thoroughly rinse the surface and that all
detergent has been removed.
USE THE INSTRUCTIONS APPROPRIATE FOR MODEL PURCHASED
NOTE: Use only detergents formulated for pressure washers.
NOTE: Test detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
Units with Detergent Applicator Included
Follow manufacturer’s label directions for mixed correct concentrations of detergent to water ratio
through the pressure washer is approximately 5.4% (1 to 19).
1. Unscrew the top of detergent applicator and fill applicator with detergent.
2. Replace top on applicator.
3. Remove lance from gun.
4. Attach detergent applicator to gun ( See Figure ).
5. Apply detergent so it thoroughly covers cleaning surface. Apply from bottom to top to prevent
detergent from sliding down and streaking.
6. Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a few minutes. This is a good time to use a brush to
lightly scrub heavily soiled areas. Never allow detergent to dry on the cleaning surface.
7. Remove detergent applicator from gun and replace with the lance, or remove applicator from end of
lance.
8. Rinse detergent from surface.

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 pressur-
ized. 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.

NOTE: Do not store the machine or accessories in a place where the temperature could drop below
40°F.
Do not store pressure washer outdoors.
Do not store pressure washer where it might freeze.
AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE
Scale deposits may form in the pump when it is not used for some time. This causes the motor to
hesitate or not start up at all.
1. Do not plug the unit into electrical outlet or connect the pressure hose to the unit.
2. Connect garden hose to the unit and allow the water to exit from high pressure outlet for a few
seconds to rinse the system.
3. Shut off the water.
4. Connect pressure hose to the gun and then lock hose safety device.
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.
