WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the mo-
tor, disconnecting from power supply, relieving the water
pressure in the trigger handle, and locking the lock out
on the trigger handle. NEVER point the nozzle at your
face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains
small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in an eye
injury or other serious personal injury.
 To free any foreign materials clogging or restricting the
nozzle, blow out or remove debris with a straightened
paper clip or fine needle (not included).
 Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by back
flushing (running the water through the nozzle backwards
or from the outside to the inside).
 Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
 Turn on the water supply and start the motor.
This product has a Three-year Limited Warranty for personal,

STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figures 18 - 19.
NOTE: Regular use of pump protector will give you better
performance of the unit and increase the life of the pump.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area. Al-
ways empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the soap
tank before storing.
 Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF position.
 Disconnect both the high pressure hose and the garden
hose from the pump.
 Tilt the unit as shown to allow any remaining water in the
pump to drain from the water inlet.
NOTICE:
If the location where your pressure washer is stored will
fall below 32°F, the use of a pump protector is required
before storing to prevent freeze damage. Freeze damage
will void your warranty.
 Store the unit and accessories in an area that does not
reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near furnace or
other sources of heat that could dry out the pump seals.
