USING THE HIGH-PRESSURE HOSE
The high-pressure hose features an outer
covering that provides strength to the hose.
If the outer covering becomes damaged,
the hose must be replaced immediately. Do
not use a high-pressure hose if the outer
covering is damaged.
To prevent damage to the outer covering:
■ Inspect the hose before every use.
■ Fully unwrap and straighten the hose
before use.
■ Do not allow the high-pressure hose to be
kinked.
■ Keep the hose away from hot surfaces and
sharp edges.
■ Do not pull the product by using the high-
pressure hose.
■ Do not allow the hose to be crushed or
wrapped around objects.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See page 31.
Use only detergents designed for high
pressure cleaners. Household detergents,
acids, alkalines,
flammable material,
solutions can damage the pump. Many
detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare the cleaning solution as instructed on
the solution bottle.
NOTE: Spray the detergent on a dry surface
using long, even, overlapping strokes. To
prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to
dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
■ Remove the soap nozzle, and install the
40 DEG spray nozzle. See the "Installing/
removing nozzles" section.
■ Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water
through the spray wand).
■ Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting off (O) the engine will not
relieve pressure in the system. Squeeze the
8
bleaches, solvents,
or industrial grade
trigger to release the water pressure.
RINSING WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE
CLEANER
■ Turn off the high pressure cleaner and shut
off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger to
release water pressure.
■ Engage the lock out on the trigger handle
by pushing up on the lock out until it clicks
into the slot.
■ Install the spray nozzle with either the
[40º], [25º], or [0º] setting depending on
the job. Refer to the chart in the "Using the
spray nozzle and soap nozzle" section to
determine which setting is correct for your
application.
■ When using these settings, test a small
area first to avoid surface damage.
■ Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and
work down, overlapping the strokes.
MOVING THE HIGH PRESSURE CLEANER
See page 32.
NOTE: Never lift or carry the product using
the handle and never place it in any position
other than upright on its wheels.

petroleum-based products, and penetrating
lubricants come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the
