3. Turn the switch to the ON (I) position to start the pressure washer (Fig. 21).

Using the nozzles

Before beginning any cleaning task, determine the best nozzle for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern.The nozzle patterns are 40˚ (for gentle cleaning), 25˚ (for all-purpose cleaning), 15˚ (for tough jobs), 0˚ (for spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas) and the Soap nozzle (for detergent application).

CAUTION! NEVER change nozzles without locking the safety lock on the trigger handle.

WARNING! High-pressure jets can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The jet must not be directed at persons, pets, live electrical equipment, or the appliance itself.

This electric pressure washer is equipped with five (5) Quick-Connect nozzles that easily snap onto the Quick-Connect collar of the spray wand.

To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:

1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
2. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).
3. Snap the desired nozzle onto the Quick-Connect collar until it clicks into place (Fig. 23). To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the cleaning job is complete:
4. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
5. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).
6. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.

WARNING! Do not make changes to the nozzle while the trigger is engaged. Doing so could result in damage to the pressure washer or injury to the user.

Working with detergents

When cleaning with the pressure washer, some cleaning tasks can be solved with water alone, but for most tasks cleaning with detergent allows for more effective dirt removal.

WARNING! Use only detergents specifically designed for use with pressure washers. DO NOT USE household detergents, acids, alkaline solutions, bleaches, solvents, flammable material, or industrial grade solutions. These could damage the pressure washer. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.

1. Remove the cap(s) and detergent suction tube(s) from the detergent bottle(s).
2. Gently pull each of the onboard detergent tanks out of its storage position and fill each tank with detergent (Fig. 24).
3. Insert the suction tube(s) back into the tank(s) and cap the tank(s) closed. Push the tank(s) back into storage position on the unit.
4. Use the detergent dial to select which of the two detergent tanks the unit will draw from and to control the rate of flow. When not working with detergent, such as when using a non-soap nozzle, turn the detergent dial to the center (O) (Fig. 25).
5. Install the Soap nozzle (black) on the spray wand (Fig. 23).CAUTION! Always test the detergent in an inconspicuous area before use.
6. Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the unit. The liquid detergent will automatically mix with water and be discharged through the nozzle.
7. Turn the detergent dial to adjust the suction volume of the detergent solution (Fig. 25).
8. Apply detergent from the bottom to the top of the dry surface to be cleaned.NOTE: Wetting the surface first is not recommended as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
9. Allow the detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow the detergent to dry on the surface.CAUTION! Damage may occur to painted surfaces if the detergent is allowed to dry on the surface. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight.
10. When you have finished using the detergent injection system, remove the detergent suction tube from the detergent bottle and insert it into 1.3 gal (5 L) of fresh water. Siphon water at low pressure for one minute so that all the detergent is flushed through the system. Remove the detergent bottle and rinse it until it is thoroughly cleaned.

CAUTION! Failure to follow these cleaning instructions will cause the injection system to become clogged and inoperable.

Rinsing with the pressure washer

1. Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water supply.
2. Pull the trigger to release water pressure.
3. Engage the safety lock on the trigger handle by pushing up on the safety lock until it clicks into the slot (Fig. 22).
4. Remove the nozzle by placing your hand over the nozzle while pulling back on the Quick-Connect collar.
5. Select the right nozzle for the job (Fig. 26):

It is ideal for dissolving stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment. Use this nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of lawn mowers and tractors.NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or damaging fragile surfaces.
   2. Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains, and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this nozzle.
   3. Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding, brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks. When using this nozzle, test a small area first to avoid surface damage.
   4. Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn equipment.
   5. Use the Soap nozzle (black) for low-pressure detergent application to clean equipment, remove mildew andoxidation stains from houses, clean bricks or degrease grimy surfaces.NOTE: When using detergent, make sure to install the correct Soap nozzle (black). All of the other colored nozzles will not work for detergent application.
