To stop the engine using the fuel valve:

periods as this can clog carburetor passages with impuri-
ties resulting in malfunctions.
SELECTING THE RIGHT QUICK-CONNECT
NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 14 - 15.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the five nozzles has a different spray
pattern. The nozzle colors and spray patterns are:
(low pressure), white (medium pressure) 40˚, green (medi-
um pressure) 25˚, yellow (high pressure) 15˚, and red (high
pressure) 0˚.
NOTE: For a gentle rinse, select the white 40˚ or green
25˚ nozzle. Scouring the surface requires a more
direct spray of water. Select the yellow 15˚ or red 0˚
nozzle for tough jobs. Apply detergent using the black
nozzle.
cauTioN:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock out on
the spray wand.
Using the quick-connect collar, changing nozzles is easy.
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar want until

it clicks in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the
cleaning job is complete:
 Place hand over nozzle then pull back the quick-connect
collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage area on the top
of the machine.
USING THE SPRAy wAND TRIGGER
See Figure 16.
For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the spray
wand at all times.
 Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:
 Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:
 Push the lock out down and into its original position.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 8 in. and 4 in. from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
