NOTE: Improper adjustment of set screw will cause pump cavitation. The cavitation (lack of water to the pump inlet) will
cause damage to the pump seals that will not be covered by the factory warranty.

• Two body styles : 3/4” GHT for quick attachment and 1/2” NPT for permanent installation.
• Two plunger styles designed for pump ow rates of 1.5-4.0 gpm and 4.0-7.0 gpm.
• On/Off feature helps prevent pump cavitation.
• Durable, 160° F max., 60 PSI max., for pressure higher than 60 PSI use inlet regulator Part #22-0099.
• Easy to install, use and maintain.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION:
NOTE: If you have the 1/2” NPT version, start with step #3. It will already be rigidly connected.
1. Connect the water supply hose to the female inlet of the injector.
2. Connect the male threads of the injector to the garden swivel tting on the pressure washer.
3. With the plunger up in the “off” position, turn on the water supply and operate the pressure washer according to its
operations manual.
4. Turn the plunger to line the notch up with the shoulder bolt. Press the plunger down and turn it clockwise to lock “on”.
5. With the pressure washer operating, the trigger gun open, and the detergent line submerged, use an 1/8” hex wrench
to adjust the screw down until detergent is being siphoned.
NOTE: Only turn in 1/4 turn increments.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER ADJUST THE SCREW TO A POINT OF PUMP CAVITATION. KEEP SIPHON HOSE
SUBMERGED TO PREVENT AIR INTAKE.
6. When not using the detergent, turn the plunger to line the notch up with the shoulder bolt. Pull the plunger up to the
“off” position. If desired, turn the plunger to lock off.
NOTE: Usually after the initial setting, the injector will not need additional adjustment; however; different elevations or
inlet water pressures may require a different setting. Simply repeat step #5 as needed, adjusting the screw down
or up for proper setting.
