The adjustable nozzle will allow you to use
any variety of spray patterns from a full fan
spray to a direct stream spray. When using the
pressure washer to clean wood decks, siding,
vehicles etc., always start using the fan spray
and begin spraying from a minimum 36" away
to avoid damaging the surface of the material
you are cleaning. Always begin by spraying
in a testing area free and clear of people and
objects.
USING DETERGENTS
THE PRESSURE WASHER WILL DISPENSE DE-
TERGENT ONLY AT LOW PRESSURE. USE THE
ADJUSTABLE SPRAY NOZZLE TO APPLY DETER-
GENTS AND TO RINSE CLEAN.
Biodegradable detergents are specifically for-
mulated to protect the environment and your
pressure washer. These detergents will not clog
the filter and will protect the internal parts of
the pressure washer for a longer life.
Step 1: Open the cover of the detergent reser-
voir by twisting it off.
Step 2: Fill the detergent reservoir with any ap-
proved liquid detergent. Close the cover.
Step 3: Pull out on the
end of the adjustable
nozzle to put the pres-
sure washer into low-pressure mode.
Step 4: To clean the
working area, push in
on the end of the ad-
justable nozzle to return it to high-pressure
mode. Spray high-pressure water onto the
work area to rinse off the work area and any
remaining detergent.
To apply the detergent cleanser to your work-
ing area, turn the pressure washer switch to
the ON position. Pull the trigger to operate the
unit. The pressure washer will mix the deter-
gent with water. Do not allow the detergent to
dry on the object you are cleaning.
WARNING: Never use products with bleach
or chlorine or any other corrosive materials,

including liquids containing solvents (i.E. Gas,
oils etc), tri-sodium phosphate products, am-
monia, or acid-based cleaners. These chemicals
will harm the unit and cause damage to the
surface being cleaned. Always read the label.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING PROCEDURE
Turn on the water supply tap FULLY. Release
the safety catch, then press the trigger for a
few seconds to allow air to escape and to dis-
charge residual pressure in the pipes.
Dissolve dirt by applying detergent with the
fan jet to the dry surface. On vertical surfaces,
work from the bottom upwards.
Leave the detergent to act for 1 to 2 minutes,
but do not allow to dry out. Apply the high
pressure jet, keeping the nozzle at least 10"
(30 cm) from the surface, working from the
bottom upwards.
Avoid allowing the rinsing water to run on to
unwashed surfaces.
WARNING: Always test the spray in an area
free and clear of people and objects before
you sprayat the intended cleaning surface.
WOOD AND VINYL DECKS
Rinse deck and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using detergent, fill the detergent
reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned
at low pressure. For optimal results, reduce
your work area to smaller sections and clean
each section one at a time. Allow the deter-
gent to rest on the surface for a few minutes
and then rinse at high pressure. DO NOT LET
THE CLEANSER DRY. Always clean from left to
right and top to bottom for best results. Rinse
at high pressure using the fan spray keeping
the tip of the spray nozzle at least 6-9 inches
from the cleaning surface. Maintain a further
distance from the cleaning area when using a
direct spray.
CAUTION: For softer woods, increase the
distance from the cleaning area.
CEMENT PATIOS, STONE, AND BRICK
Rinse cleaning and surrounding area with fresh
water. If using detergent, fill the detergent
reservoir and apply to the area being cleaned
at low pressure. Rinse at high pressure using
the fan spray in a sweeping motion keeping
