NOTICE:
Routinely make a visual inspection of the pump and
engine during use. If you notice any lubricant leaking
around the pump or engine seals, stop using the pres-
sure washer immediately. Contact customer service or
a qualified service center for repair. Failure to do so may
cause property damage.
To stop the engine:
 Press and hold the STOP switch until the engine stops.
 Turn the fuel valve to the CLOSED position.
NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the
system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
WARNING:
While operating and storing, keep at least 3 feet of clear-
ance on all sides of this product, including overhead. Al-
low a minimum of 30 minutes of "cool down" time before
storage. Keep all body parts, clothing, combustible ma-
terials, and hoses away from the muffler. Heat created by
muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough to cause
serious burns, ignite combustible objects, and/or damage
high pressure hoses that can result in an injection injury.
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 12.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect
the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due
to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of
control and injury to yourself and others.
 Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
 Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
 Push the lock out down and into its original position.
Start with the nozzle 1–2 ft. away from the cleaning surface
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can
damage the cleaning surface.
OPERATION
SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 13.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the
job. Refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more informa-
tion about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the en-
gine, relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle,
and locking the lock out on the trigger handle. NEVER
point the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-
connect feature contains small springs that could eject
the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow these in-
structions could result in an eye injury or other serious
personal injury.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Pull back the quick-connect collar.
 Push the nozzle into place in the spray wand.
 Push the collar forward so that the nozzle is secured
properly. Check to see that the nozzle is secure.
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the
cleaning job is complete:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
 Pull back and hold the quick-connect collar.
 Remove the nozzle by pulling it from the quick-connect
collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top
of the machine.
USING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
WARNING:
Injection hazard. Fully unwrap and straighten high
pressure hose prior to and during each use and do
not allow it to become kinked. The high pressure hose
features an outer covering that provides strength to the
hose. If the outer covering becomes damaged, stop using
the hose and replace it immediately. A kinked or damaged
hose can develop a high pressure leak and result in a
possible injection or other serious personal injury.
