PRESSURE WASHER OPERATING FEATURES

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS

The pressure setting is preset at the factory to achieve optimum pressure and cleaning. If you need to lower the pressure, it can be accomplished by these methods.

  1. Back away from the sur face to be cleaned. The further away you are, the less the pressure will be on the surface to be cleaned.
  2. Rotate the nozzle at the end of the multi-adjustable spray wand to widen the fan spray. The wider fan spray will minimize the pressure on the surface to be cleaned.


DO NOT attempt to increase pump pressure. A higher pressure setting than the factory set pressure may damage pump.

HOW TO USE SPRAY WAND

Your pressure washer is equipped with a multi-adjustable spray wand with both high and low pressure settings. The high pressure setting is for cleaning and rinsing, the low pressure setting is for applying chemicals or cleaning solutions to surfaces.


Risk of fluid injection. Do not direct discharge stream toward persons, unprotected skin, eyes or any pets or animals. Serious injury will occur.

For high pressure operation, pull back the nozzle of the multi-adjustable spray wand as shown.
High Pressure Operation

The nozzle at the end of the multiadjustable spray wand can be rotated to change the high pressure spray pattern from a 0º pencil stream to a 40º fan spray, as shown. Markings have been placed on the nozzle to help you select the spray pattern.
Rotating the Nozzle Step 1Rotating the Nozzle Step 2

For low pressure operation, extend the nozzle of the multi-adjustable spray wand as shown.
Low Pressure Operation


The powerful spray from your pressure washer is capable of causing damage to surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint, auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such as fl owers and shrubs. Before spraying, check the item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is strong enough to resist damage from the force of the spray.

HOW TO APPLY CHEMICALS/CLEANING SOLVENTS
