3. Turn the water on and open the valve. Open the trigger gun for flow of water through the
nozzles. The nozzles must have flowing spray. If not, remove the tips, clean them, and
reassemble the nozzles making sure that the groove of the nozzle is parallel to the spray bar.
Use thread sealant when reinstalling the nozzles.
4. Start the pressure washer. The surface cleaner is ready for operation.
5. Walk slowly behind the machine, cleaning as you go. If striping occurs, slow down your pace.
6. Periodically check the weep hole on the bottom of the swivel. Water will seep slowly; if water
shoots out, stop and replace the seals. The swivel assembly can then be rebuilt.
7. For maximum effectiveness, keep the spray tips clean. If the machine vibrates, stop and clean
the spray tips.
Inspect the cleaner after each use. Clean it and prepare it for the next use.

Clean out any dirt or foreign material from under the housing and casters. Use a cloth or sponge
to wash the surface cleaner and rinse with tap water.

Check for loose parts and any damages.
When storing the cleaner for an extended time, it's best to drain as much water from the unit as
possible. Disconnect the cleaner from the pump and stand the handle upright. Clamp the gun trigger
open and let the water run out. Shop air can also be used in the gun inlet to force out the water.
Store the unit in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect the cleaner for good working
condition prior to storage and before re-use.
