WARNING
The high pressure stream of water that this
equipment produces can pierce skin and its
underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even
when engine is stopped and water is
disconnected, which can cause injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray
gun while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point gun in safe direction and squeeze spray
gun trigger, to release high pressure, every time you stop
engine. Engage trigger lock when not in use.
4. Engage trigger lock on spray gun when not in use.
How to Use Spray Tips
The quick–connect on the nozzle extension allows you
to switch between four different spray tips. The spray
tips vary the spray pattern as shown below.
CAUTION
A pressure washer produces a high pressure spray
which increases risk of injury and damage to unit.
• NEVER exchange spray tips without locking the trigger
lock on the trigger.
Follow these instructions to change spray tips:
1. Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
2. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on
the nozzle extension.
3. Select desired spray tip:
• For gentle rinse, select white 40° spray tip.
• To scour surface, select yellow 15° or red 0°
spray tip.
• To apply chemical, select black spray tip.

Usage Tips
• Pull back on collar, insert new spray tip and
release collar. Tug on spray tip to make sure it is
securely in place.
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray tip from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you
get spray tip too close, you may damage cleaning
surface.
• DO NOT get closer than 6 inches when cleaning
tires.
How to Use the Turbo Nozzle
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a
rapid circular pattern. Always start the turbo nozzle at
a distance, gradually getting closer to the surface until
you get the cleaning force you want.
The turbo nozzle produces an extremely high
pressure spray which is capable of removing paint
and cutting holes through surfaces if held too close.
• Always make sure the surface you will clean will not be
damaged by the high pressure spray by testing in a
hidden area.
1. Pull back collar on quick–connect and pull current
spray tip off. Store spray tips in holder provided on
the nozzle extension.
2. Pull back on collar, insert turbo nozzle and release
collar. Tug on turbo nozzle to make sure it is
securely in place.
3. For most effective cleaning, keep turbo nozzle from
8 to 24 inches away from cleaning surface. If you
get turbo nozzle too close, you may damage
cleaning surface.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the turbo
nozzle.
Cleaning and Applying Chemical
IMPORTANT: Use chemicals designed specifically
for pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
1. Review spray tip use.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by
manufacturer.
