USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE
See Figure 10.
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 11.
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 information
about which nozzle to choose.
WARNING:
NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the motor,
disconnecting the power supply, 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, disconnect the power
supply, 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.
