7. Aim wand at surface to be cleaned and depress
the gun trigger.
CAUTION
Do not run the power washer for more then 5
minutes without depressing the gun trigger to
allow water to flow. The excessive heat build up
could damage the pump.
Nozzle Selection
Note: The force of the spray on the surface be-
ing cleaned increases as the nozzle is moved
closer to the surface.
0° High Pressure (Red) - This nozzle produces a
very aggressive water stream and extreme caution
must be used to prevent injury to persons or ani-
mals and damage to surface.
15° High Pressure (Yellow) - Provides a wide
cleaning area with a high pressure water stream.
This nozzle is used for most cleaning applications.
40° High Pressure (White) - The widest coverage
area for cleaning with a high pressure water
stream.
65° Low Pressure (Black) - Wide coverage with
low pressure, normally used for the application of
chemicals.
Cleaning Techniques
Cleaning with Water
When cleaning with a pressure washer, many sur-
faces can be cleaned with just water. On a vertical
surface, clean from the bottom up using a horizon-
tal motion. Then rinse from the top down using the
same motion.
Application of Soap or Degreaser
1. Insert the chemical suction hose into the con-
tainer.
2. Select the low pressure nozzle (black).
3. Spray cleaner onto a dry surface. For a vertical
surface start at the bottom and move up using a
horizontal motion.
Operation
4. Allow solution to remain on the surface for a
short time to work in.
5. Rinse surface under high pressure from bottom
up and then from top down.
CAUTION
Only car wash detergents developed for use
with a pressure washer and mild soaps should
be used with this pressure washer. Only chemi-
cals compatible with the aluminum and brass
parts of this pressure washer should be used.
KDAR assumes no responsibility for damages
cause by chemicals used with this pressure
washer.
Safety Features
Thermal Relief
This pressure washer is equipped with a thermal
relief valve to protect the pump from overheating.
This valve is intended to be a backup system and
every effort should be made to keep the pump
from over heating.
Turn the power washer off if it is not going to
be used for more than five minutes. This will
extend the life of the pump and save fuel.
Safety Lock Off Latch
The gun is equipped with a safety lock off latch to
prevent accidental discharge of high pressure wa-
ter. The safety latch should be engaged whenev-
er the pressure washer is not in use.
Low-Oil Shutdown
This power washer is equipped with low-oil shut-
down. If the oil level in the engine gets too low the
engine will shut down automatically. This prevents
damage to the engine resulting from insufficient
lubrication.
It the engine shuts down and the oil is at the proper
level, make sure the pressure washer is on a level
surface. Having the unit at an angle may shift the
oil giving the sensor a false reading.
