• This system applies detergent under low pressure.
The cleaning power of the detergents is enhanced
High Pressure Hose
when applied with low pressure; when time is allowed
to penetrate and break down dirt and grime. The
combination of low pressure and chemical action is very
Pump
effective and can be better than scrubbing if applied
properly. Always spray detergent on a dry surface, do
not pre-soak area. Wetting the surface first dilutes the
detergent and reduces its cleaning ability. Do not allow
detergent to dry on surface. On vertical surfaces being
cleaned, apply detergent to lower surfaces and work your
way up to prevent detergent from causing streaks in the
dirt and grime. Rinse detergent by power washing from
bottom up for same reason.
• If a stain is particularly tough, it may be necessary to re-
apply the detergent and use a stiff bristled brush to scrub
the stain. Subsequent power washing after brushing
should successfully complete your cleaning job.

• When your power washing session has been completed,
turn off the power switch located on the back of the power
washer. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Turn off
the water supply. Pull the trigger on the spray gun 2-3
times to drain out the excess water and to release any
remaining water pressure. Disconnect the garden hose
from the water inlet. Do not allow the power washer to
run with no water flowing through it.
• Remove high pressure hose from the spray gun (Fig. 17)
and unscrew the other end of the high pressure hose from
the power washer (Fig. 18).
• Remove lance and/or attachment from the gun. If using
the detergent bottle, make sure to discard any remaining
detergent from the bottle. Flush the bottle and nozzle
head with fresh water to prevent clogging.
• Store power washer and accessories in an area that
does not reach freezing temperatures. Do not store near
furnace or any sources of heat, it may dry out the pump
seals.
• DO NOT store the power washer where it is exposed
to freezing temperatures unless you use Pump Saver.
It is recommended that you use Pump Saver for storing
in freezing temperatures. Freezing will damage the pump
unless Pump Saver is added to the power washer. If not
using or if storing your power washer for more than one
month, run Pump Saver through it. See the section on
Pump Saver for more information.
