WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figure 16.
As sold, this unit is designed for use with "downstream" pres-
sure washer detergents. To convert for use with "upstream"
detergents, contact an authorized customer service center
for more information.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
Always test in an inconspicuous area before beginning.
 Remove the cap from the detergent container and place
the detergent injection hose with filter in the container.
NOTE: The machine setting of this unit is 20:1, which usu-
ally allows the use of 1 gallon pressure washer detergent
without further dilution. Check your detergent instructions
to be sure additional dilution is not necessary.
 Install the blue soap nozzle on the spray wand.
 Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds
for the detergent to appear.
 Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
Before shutting off the engine:
 Place the detergent injection hose in a bucket 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.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
The fuel system on this engine may be influenced by opera-
tion at higher altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured by
installing an altitude kit when required. See the table below
to determine when an altitude kit is required. Operating this
engine without the proper altitude kit installed may increase
the engine's emissions and decrease fuel economy and per-
formance. Kits may be obtained by contacting an authorized
service center or calling 1-800-242-4672, and should be
installed by a qualified individual.
