• When using the detergent tank, fill it with a properly formulated
detergent or cleaner with water ratio according to instructions
on the container. Close detergent tank when done filling.
• When using the detergent tank, you need to use the black
"SOAP" nozzle. The low pressure of this nozzle activates the
detergent suction. The suction WILL NOT WORK with any other
of the included nozzles.
• To remove detergent tank cap, first rotate the cord hook above
it out of the way. Grasp the tank cap by the lower black collar
portion and turn counterclockwise to release and raise it from
tank spout. Do not rotate cap by the upper red portion; it will not
release. To replace cap, position it onto spout, grasp cap by
black collar and turn clockwise to secure.
• To remove the detergent tank, squeeze the clamp on the tank
cap small hose to remove the hose from the cap. Pull the deter-
gent tank straight out. To replace tank push straight in and then
reattach hose with clamp.
• The power washer will pull
a ratio of water to detergent
of 10:1 (10 parts water to 1
part detergent). The detergent
concentration can be adjusted
by turning the detergent knob
on the top of the machine.
Turn it left for more concen-
tration or turn it right for less
concentration.

Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is not
being squeezed, that is normal. The pump is priming itself so
it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the
power washer if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the nozzle should be cleaned
regularly and lubricated with non-water soluble grease such as
petroleum jelly.
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging the nozzle.
If you lose the cleaning wire, a straightened paper clip also
works.
