1. To connect the garden hose to the pressure washer
unit ( 16 ), screw the filter ( 10 ) to the water intake ( 25 ).
2. Connect the garden hose to the hose connector ( 9 ) by
loosening the screw of the garden connector and attaching
the hose onto the connector. Connect the garden hose to

Attaching Nozzles (Fig. A, E)
DANGER: Risk of fluid injection. Do not direct
discharge stream toward persons, unprotected skin,
@
eyes or any pets or animals. Serious injury will occur.
WARNING: Flying objects could cause risk of serious
injury. DO NOT attempt to change nozzles while
pressure washer is running. Turn pressure washer
unit OFF before changing nozzles.
1. To connect a nozzle to the spray wand ( 2 ) , depress
the nozzle button ( 3 ) on the spray wand and insert the
appropriate nozzle.
2. Release the button to lock the nozzle in place.
3. Give the nozzle a firm tug to ensure the nozzle is locked
into place.
Spray Fan to Pencil Jet Nozzle
Adjusting Fan Pattern (Fig. E1, E2)
The angle of spray coming out of the spray wand may be
adjusted by rotating the nozzle. This will vary the spray pattern
from approximately a 0 ° narrow high impact stream to a 60 °
wide fan spray.
A wide fan pattern distributes the impact of the water over
a larger area, resulting in excellent cleaning action with a
reduced risk of surface damage. Large surface areas can be
cleaned more quickly using a wide fan pattern.
A narrow pencil jet stream distributes the impact of the water
in a concentrated area, resulting in a high impact force on
the cleaning surface. Use a narrow pencil jet stream for deep
cleaning in a concentrated area. However, use it cautiously, as
it may damage some surfaces.
Attaching Soap Bottle (Fig. J4)
To connect the soap bottle ( 11 ) to the spray handle ( 4 ),
insert the end of the soap bottle inside the spray handle and
turn the soap bottle counterclockwise to lock it into position.
(Original instructions)
NOTE: The wand and soap bottle cannot be installed at the
same time.
NOTE: The soap bottle should be positioned underneath the
barrel of the spray handle. Do not position the soap bottle
above the barrel of the plastic gun as this will lead to soap
dripping on the barrel.
