How to Stop Your Pressure Washer
• Move throttle lever on engine to "Stop" position.
• Squeeze trigger on the spray gun to relieve
pressure in the hose.
NOTE: A small amount of water will squirt out when
you release the pressure.
How To Use the Adjustable Nozzle
You now should know how to START your pressure
washer and how to STOP it. The information in this
section will tell you how to adjust the spray pattern
and apply detergent or other cleaning chemicals.
CAUTION
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
• NEVER adjust spray pattern when spraying.
• NEVER put hands in front of nozzle to adjust spray pattern.
On the end of your spray gun is an adjustable nozzle
that you can use to adjust the spray pattern and the
spray pressure.
1. Slide nozzle forward for low pressure spray; slide
backward for high pressure spray.
Slide nozzle backward for
high pressure mode.
2. Point nozzle towards a hard surface, disengage
safety latch, and press trigger to test pattern.
Slide nozzle forward for low
pressure mode and
detergent application.
3. Twisting nozzle adjusts spray pattern from a
narrow pattern to a fan pattern.
Twist nozzle counter-
clockwise for fan pattern.
4. For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
from 8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface.
5. If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using
high pressure mode, you may damage the surface
being cleaned.
6. DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
tires.
Applying Detergent with the Adjustable
Nozzle
IMPORTANT: Use chemicals designed specifically
for pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
CAUTION
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.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of adjustable nozzle.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place filter end of detergent siphoning tube into
detergent container.
CAUTION
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. Slide adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Detergent cannot be applied with nozzle in
high pressure position.
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water
inlet. Check that high pressure hose is connected
to spray gun and pump. Start engine.
