How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
1. Let engine idle for two minutes.
2. Move throttle lever on engine to "Stop" position.
3. ALWAYS point gun in a safe direction and
squeeze spray gun trigger to release retained high
water pressure.
WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped and water is
disconnected, which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.
4. Engage trigger lock on spray gun when not in use.
How to Use Spray Tips
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you
to switch between four different spray tips. The spray
tips vary the spray pattern as shown below.
Low Pressure
High Pressure
40° White
15° Yellow
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
CAUTION
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
• NEVER exchange spray tips without engaging the trigger
lock on the spray gun.

2. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on
the nozzle extension.
3. Select desired spray tip:
•
For gentle rinse, select white 40° spray tip.
•
To scour surface, select yellow 15° or red 0°
spray tip.
•
To apply chemical, select black spray tip.
Usage Tips
•
Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and
release collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is
securely in place.
•
For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you
get spray tip too close, you may damage cleaning
surface.
•
DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
tires.
Cleaning and Applying Chemical
IMPORTANT: Use chemicals designed specifically
for pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
1. Review spray tip use.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by
manufacturer.
3. Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
Keep the chemical injection tube from coming in
contact with the hot muffler.
• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle,
route the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently
contacting the hot muffler.
4. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure spray tips (White, Yellow, or Red).
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water
inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected
to spray gun and pump and start engine.
6. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.
7. Allow detergent to soak in between 3–5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow
detergent to dry on (prevents streaking).
