Turn the main switch to ON position and the pressure washer is ready to operate.
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Working with Detergents
Working with a detergent ensures quick soaking of the dirt, and allows the high-pressure water to penetrate and remove the dirt more effectively. Always spray detergent on a dry surface, do not pre-soak the area. Wetting the surface first dilutes the detergent and reduces its cleaning ability.
To apply detergents, you must be operating at a low pressure. This provides a gentle application of the detergent, with the pressure equivalent to the garden hose pressure. The high-pressure setting is used for cleaning; you cannot apply detergents when working at a high pressure. Always test the detergent in a concealed area before use.
1
Engage the safety lock on the spray gun.
2
Turning the collar to detergent setting for detergent application.
3
(When using detergent)
- Fill the detergent container with detergent.
- Firmly close the detergent bottle cap.
- Attach the container to the pressure washer's container storage area.
4
Turn on the pressure washer. Pull the trigger to operate the device. The liquid detergent will be mixed with water automatically and will be discharged through the nozzle at low pressure. Apply the detergent to a dry work surface from bottom to top.
5
Allow detergent to remain on the surface for a short time before rinsing. Do not allow detergent to dry on the surface.
6
Rinse with clean water under high pressure. On a vertical surface, rinse from the bottom up, then rinse from the top down to avoid streaking. Hold the nozzle 6 to 8" (15 to 20 cm) away from the work surface at a 45° angle.
7
When you have finished using the detergent injection system, fill the detergent container with clean water. Siphon water at low pressure for one minute so that all detergent is flushed through the system. Remove the detergent container and rinse it thoroughly.

CAUTION
Damage may occur to painted surfaces if chemicals are allowed to dry on them. Wash and rinse a small section at a time. Avoid working on hot surfaces or under direct sunlight.
12 Operating Instructions

- Ammonia products; or
- Acid-based products.
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the surface being cleaned.
7. WINTERIZING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
7.1 Optimum Winterizing Procedure
Winterizing your pressure washer will help protect and prolong its life. We strongly recommend you follow the below steps using Pressure Washer Antifreeze (039-8602-0). This will keep the internal parts lubricated, protected from rust, and prevents the pump from freezing.

- Connect the pump saver to the inlet adaptor.
- Depress button on top of the pump saver container.
- Continue until fluid exits the pressure hose.
- Remove the hose from pump inlet.
7.2 Quick Winterizing Procedure
If you are unable to perform the Optimum Winterizing Procedure, you can still protect your pressure washer from winter damage by doing the following:
- Disconnect all water connections.
- Turn on the device for a few seconds, until the remaining water flows out of the pump. Turn the device off immediately after that.
- Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
- Store the device and its accessories in a room that does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store them near furnaces or other sources of heat, as that might dry out the pump seals.

CAUTION
Drain any remaining water from the gun assembly. Aim the gun downwards and pull the trigger.
14 Cleaning and Maintenance / Technical Specifications
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
8.1 Connections
The connections on the pressure washer's hoses, gun, and spray wand should be cleaned and lubricated with non-water soluble grease regularly.
8.2 Spray Tips

Clogging of the nozzle causes the pump pressure to be too high, making it necessary to clean the nozzle immediately. You can clean the nozzle by carefully inserting the cleaning needle or a thin, sharp instrument (i.e., paperclip) into the tip to clean out any deposits.
8.3 Water Filter Screen

The pressure washer is equipped with a water inlet screen to protect the pump. If the screen is not kept clean, the flow of water to the pressure washer will be restricted, and the pump may become damaged.
To clean the water inlet screen:
- Remove the filter screen from inside the inlet adaptor (the inlet adaptor comes pre-assembled to the machine).
- Rinse the screen until it is free of debris and obstructions.
- Place the screen back to prevent foreign particles from entering the pump.
