C_eaning and Applying Chemica_
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
CAUTION
• Starting the engine
without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON will
damage
the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting
from failure to follow this
instruction will void
warranty,
To apply detergent follow these steps:
1. Review spray tip use.
2. Prepare chemical solution as required by
manufacturer.
3. Pour chemical solution into chemical reservoir
labeled A or B.
NOTE: Each chemical reservoir holds two quarts.
4. Fill other chemical reservoir with a different
prepared solution, as desired.
5. Make sure black spray tip is installed.
NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure spray tips (White, Yellow, or Red).
6. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet
and water supply is turned on. Check that high
pressure hose is connected to spray gun and
pump; start engine.
7. Rotate chemical shut-off valve on desired
chemical reservoir to "On" position.
"Off" Position
CAUTION
.
g.
Only one
chemical solution should be used at a time to
avoid
possible bodily injury and/or property damage,
Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward,
using long, even, overlapping strokes.
Allow detergent to soak in between 3-5 minutes
before washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to
prevent surface from drying. DO NOT allow
detergent to dry on (prevents streaking).
Pressure Washer Rinsing
After detergent is applied, scour the surface and rinse
it clean as follows:
1. Apply trigger lock to spray gun.
2. Make sure both chemical shut-off valves are in
"Off" position.
3. Remove black spray tip from nozzle extension.
4. Select and install desired high pressure spray tip
following instructions in "How to Use Spray Tips".
5. Keep spray gun a safe distance from spray
surface.
WARNING
.
.
Keep spray nozzle between 8 to 24 inches away from
cleaning surface.
Operate this unit on a stable surface.
Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure
washer from a ladder, scaffolding or any other relatively
unstable location.
Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury if gun kicks back.
Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and
then check the surface for damage. If no damage,
proceed to step 7.
Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes used for cleaning.
Automatic Coo_ Down System
(Therma_ 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.
