OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER ALWAYS wear approved safety glasses when operating Pressure Washers. Spray can splash back or propel objects, including incorrectly attached accessories. The high pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through skin and its underlying tissues, leading to possible amputation. Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when the motor is stopped and water is disconnected, which can cause injury.
WATER FLOW ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTING FOR FAN PATTERN The angle of spray coming out of the nozzle may be adjusted by rotating the front of the nozzle (cone). This will vary the spray pattern from approximately a 0° narrow high impact stream (by turning the nozzle fully to the left) to a 60° wide fan spray (by turning the nozzle fully to the right).
• If you get spray nozzle too close, especially using high pressure mode, you may damage surface being cleaned. • DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning tires. SHUTTING DOWN THE PRESSURE WASHER The Pressure Washer motor runs only when the trigger is engaged. To shut off the Pressure Washer: 1.
Wetting the surface first is not recommended, as it dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. 7. 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 surface (prevents streaking).
