NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high pressure
nozzles (Yellow, Orange or Red).
7. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray gun
and pump. Turn on water.
NOTICE
You must attach all hoses before you start the engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and without
the water turned ON will damage the pump.

9A. If using cleaning tank, rotate detergent shut-off valve on
cleaning tank to "On" position (A).
IMPORTANT: If using detergent siphoning hose, make sure
detergent shut-off valve on cleaning tank is in the "Off"
position.
9B. If using detergent siphoning hose, place small filter end
of detergent siphoning tube into detergent container.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in detergent
while applying detergent.
NOTICE
Contact with the hot muffler can damage detergent
siphoning tube.
• When inserting the filter into a detergent solution bottle, route
the tube so as to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot
muffler.
10. Apply HydroFoam™ wash to a dry surface, starting at
lower portion of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.
NOTE: To prevent water spotting on vehicles, work in a
shaded area and allow surfaces to cool before beginning.
11. Allow HydroFoam™ wash to soak in between
3–5 minutes before washing and rinsing. Reapply as
needed to prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow
HydroFoam™ wash to dry on (prevents streaking).
For best results, scrub the HydroFoam™ wash covered
surface to help remove stubborn dirt, grime and stains. For
vehicles, use a soft car wash brush or mitt. For decking,
siding and concrete, use a brush appropriate for the type of
surface being cleaned.
IMPORTANT: When using the detergent siphoning hose, you
must flush the detergent siphoning system after each use by
placing the filter into a bucket of clean water, then run the
pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.
Pressure Washer Rinsing
After HydroFoam™ wash is applied, scour the surface and rinse
it clean as follows:
1. Engage trigger lock on spray gun.
2. Make sure detergent shut-off valve is in "Off" position.
3. Remove HyrdoFoam™ Launcher from nozzle extension.
4. Select and install desired ProjectPro™ nozzle, as
described in How to Use ProjectPro™ Nozzle System.
5. Keep spray gun a safe distance from spray surface.
A
• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from
a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
6. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check the surface for damage. If no damage, proceed to
step 7.
7. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same overlapping strokes used for cleaning.
Automatic Cool Down System (Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach temperatures above
125°F. The system engages to cool the pump by discharging
the warm water onto the ground.
