SELECTING THE RIGHT QUICK-CONNECT NOZZLE
FOR THE JOB (Figure 13 - 15.)
The nozzle colors and spray patterns are:
Black (low pressure),

Green (medium pressure) 25˚,

Red (high pressure) 0˚.

CAUTION:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock
out on the spray wand. (Fig 13.)
Using the quick-connect collar, changing nozzles is
easy.
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
(Fig 15.)
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
 Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it
clicks in place and is secured properly. (Fig 14.)
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once
the cleaning job is complete:
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the wand by pushing up on
the lock out until it clicks into the slot. (Fig 13.)
 Pull back and hold the collar.
 Remove the nozzle by pulling it from the collar.
 Place hand over nozzle then pull back the quick-
connect collar. Place nozzle in the nozzle storage
area on the top of the machine.

MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 16.

 Standing at the back of the machine, grasp the
handle firmly with both hands and pull the handle up
until it locks into place with a "click".
 Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the

ENGLISH
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER (Fig.16)
Allow 30 minutes of cool down time before placing the
storage handle in the store position. Store machine in a
dry, covered area where the weather can't damage it.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT (Fig.17)
Use only soaps designed for pressure washers;
household detergents can damage the pump.
Many detergents require mixing prior to use. Follow
manufacturers instructions on the solution bottle. Prepare
cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
Place the injection hose (item 17) in the bottom of the

detergent container (item 22).
Install the black nozzle on the spray wand.

Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long,

even, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do
not allow the detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
Place the injection hose in a container of clean water.

Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the

spray wand).
Shut off the engine.

NOTE: Shutting OFF (O) the engine will not relieve
pressure in the system. Pull trigger to release water
pressure.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water

supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the wand by pushing up on

the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Pull back and hold the collar.

Remove the nozzle by pulling it from the collar.

Select the right nozzle for the job:

• Use lower pressure nozzle (green) to wash items
such as a car or boat.
• Use higher pressure nozzle (red) for jobs such as
stripping paint and degreasing the driveway. When
using these nozzles, test a small area first to avoid
surface damage.
Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work

down overlapping the strokes.
