Applying Detergent

WARNING Chemical Burn Hazard.
Chemicals could cause burns resulting in death
or serious injury.
• DO NOT use caustic liquid with pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. Follow all
manufacturers instructions.
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of 7-in-1 nozzle shown in How to Use
7-in-1 Nozzle.
2. Select appropriate detergent solution by job to be
performed.
3. Remove cap from detergent tank.
4. Fill tank with detergent solution.
5. Place cap back onto detergent tank.
6. Make sure one of the soap spray pattern nozzles is
selected on 7-in-1 nozzle.
NOTICE Detergent cannot be applied with non soap nozzle
setting (maximum, general, gentle, fan spray or extended
reach).
7. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and high pressure outlet on pump. Turn on water.
NOTICE You must attach all hoses before you start the
pressure washer.
8. Start the pressure washer as instructed in How to Start
Your Pressure Washer.
9. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
10. Allow detergent to "soak in" for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. To prevent streaking, Do Not allow
detergent to dry on surface.

Pressure Washer Rinsing

For Rinsing:
1. Select desired non soap nozzle setting following
instructions How to Use 7-in-1 Nozzle.
2. Keep spray gun a safe distance from area you plan to
spray.
WARNING Risk of Kickback.
Spray gun could kickback causing you to fall
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Operate the 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 power
spray modes to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
3. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area and then
check surface for damage. If no damage is found, you
can assume it is okay to continue rinsing.
4. Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same overlapping strokes as you 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 (51°C). The system engages to cool the pump by
discharging the warm water onto the ground.
