Cleaning and Applying Detergent with
the Standard Clear Siphon
To apply diluted detergent using the
standard clear siphon tube, follow these
steps:
1. Review use of selector nozzle.
2. Attach clear siphon hose to barbed fitting on pump.
3. Mix detergent solution as required by job.
4. Place small filter end of clear siphoning tube into
container with diluted solution as described above.
NOTICE DO NOT insert standard siphon hose in Extreme
Concentrate. Failure to dilute concentrate will cause excessive
application and consumption of solution.
NOTICE Make sure the filter is fully submerged in fluid
while applying solution.
NOTICE Contact with the hot muffler could damage
detergent siphoning tube.
• When inserting the siphon into a detergent solution bottle, route
the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot
muffler.
5. Make sure SOAP spray pattern nozzle is selected on
selector nozzle.
NOTICE Detergent cannot be applied with the MAX,
GENERAL, DELICATE or FLUSH spray pattern nozzles.
6. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun
and pump. Turn on water.
NOTICE You must attach all hoses before you start the
engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without
the water turned ON could damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
7. Start engine following instructions How to Start Your
Pressure Washer.
8. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
9. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on
(prevents streaking).
NOTICE You must flush the detergent siphoning system
after each use by placing the filter into a bucket of clean
water, then run the pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2
minutes.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

For Rinsing:
1. Select and change to desired spray pattern nozzle on
selector nozzle. See How To Use Selector Nozzle.
2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to
spray.
WARNING Kickback from spray gun could cause you
to fall resulting in death or serious injury.
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from
a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check surface for damage. If no damage is found, you
can assume it is okay to continue rinsing.
4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same overlapping strokes as you used for cleaning.

Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube

If you used the clear detergent siphoning tube, you must
flush it with clean water before stopping the engine.
1. Place detergent siphoning tube/filter in a bucket full of
clean water.
2. Select and change to SOAP spray pattern nozzle on
selector nozzle. See How To Use Selector Nozzle.
3. Flush for 1-2 minutes.
4. Shut off engine following instructions How to Stop
Pressure Washer and turn off water supply.
5. ALWAYS point spray gun in a safe direction push red
button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained
high water pressure.
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine is
stopped and water is disconnected, which could result in
serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.

Automatic Cool Down System (Thermal Relief)

If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach temperatures above
125°F. The system engages to cool the pump by discharging
the warm water onto the ground.
