OPERATION
USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 16.
WARNING:
Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands.
Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger
is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so
could cause loss of control and injury to yourself
and others.
 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.
Start with the nozzle 1-2 ft. away from the cleaning surface
and carefully approach the surface just until the desired
level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can
damage the cleaning surface.

SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 17.
Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before
starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the
job. Refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide, for more informa-
tion about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the
engine, 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 connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull 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.
 Pull back the quick-connect collar.
