flush the detergent after each use by placing the
suction tube into a bucket of clean water, open
detergent valves then run the pressure washer
for 1-2 minutes.
THERMAL PUMP
PROTECTION
If you run your pressure washer for 3-5 minutes without
pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water
in the pump can reach high temperatures. When the
water reaches this temperature, the pump protector
engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm
water onto the ground. This thermal device prevents
10
internal damage to the pump.
WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or
ingested, causing severe nau-
sea, fainting or poisoning. The
harmful elements may cause
property damage or severe
injury.
STEP 1: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure wash-
ers. Household detergents could
damage the pump. Prepare deter-
gent solution as required by the
manufacturer. Fill a container with
pressure washer detergent. Place
the filter end of detergent suction
tube into the detergent container.

CLEANING TIPS
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place de-
tergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure (for best results, limit
your work area to sections approximately 6 feet square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface appears
to be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water.
If needed, use brush to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at
high pressure from top to bottom in an even sweeping
motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 1 foot
from cleaning surface. Use overlapping strokes as you
clean and rinse any surface. For best surface cleaning
action spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping,
use extreme caution as pressure washer may
remove the loose paint from the surface.
• Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash
a small area, then check the surface for dam-
age. If no damage is found, continue to pressure
washing.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinner,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the machine and will
damage the surface being cleaned.
RINSING
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun and close detergent
valve. Select and install the desired high pressure
nozzle.
