Use and Care Manual

15
I) The 0º intense-jet nozzle (orange) is an extremely
powerful nozzle that delivers a high-pressure, pencil-
point jet stream. It is used to cut heavy dirt deposits
in a small, concentrated area. It is ideal for dissolving
stubborn substances, like tar and grease spots on
concrete, or for removing caked mud from equipment.
Use this nozzle to clean hard-to-reach areas including
the facades of 2-story buildings or the undersides of
lawn mowers and tractors.
NOTE: Care should be used when choosing the
right nozzle to avoid permanently gouging wood or
damaging fragile surfaces.
II) Use the 15º fan-tip nozzle (yellow) for intense cleaning
jobs on hard surfaces. Applications include stripping
paint, removing oil stains, grease, heavy mildew stains,
and rust from steel. This nozzle should only be used in
areas that can withstand the high-pressure from this
nozzle.
III) Use the 25º fan-tip nozzle (green) to clean home siding,
brick patios, wood decks, driveways, or sidewalks.
When using this nozzle, test a small area rst to avoid
surface damage.
IV) Use the 40º wide-spray tip nozzle (gray) to clean items
such as cars, trucks, boats, patio furniture, or lawn
equipment.
7. Lock the bucket with water on the base unit or connect
the base unit with a water supply. Start at the top of the
area to be rinsed and work your way down, making sure to
overlap your strokes.
mIMPORTANT! NEVER USE:
Bleach, chlorine products, and other corrosive chemicals
Liquids containing solvents (e.g. paint thinners, gasoline,
oils)
Tri-sodium phosphate products
Ammonia products
Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the unit and will damage the
cleaning surface.
Shutting Down
1. Press the On/O button on the control panel.
2. Pour the remaining water out from the bucket or turn o
the water source.
3. Hold the trigger to release water pressure.
4. If using the base unit directly, disconnect the garden hose
from the water inlet on the base unit.
5. Disconnect the high-pressure hose connection on the
trigger gun handle.
6. Release the trigger and lock the gun safety lock.
mWARNING! Turn o the water supply and squeeze the
trigger to depressurize the unit. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury due to discharge of high-pressure water.
Taking a Break
If you are taking a break of ve minutes or more between
cleaning tasks:
1. Lock the gun safety lock.
2. Push the On/O button to stop the machine.

where it is not subject to adverse weather conditions.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.
Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, the soap
dispense attachment and the bucket before storing.

over the winter months.
Winterizing + Long-Term Storage
If you must store your pressure washer in a location where
the temperature falls below 32ºF (0ºC), you can minimize the
chance of damage to your machine by utilizing the following
procedure:
Disconnect all water connections.
Turn on the machine for a few seconds until the remaining
water in the pump exits. Turn o immediately.
Do not allow the high-pressure hose to become kinked.
Store the machine and accessories in a room that does
not reach freezing temperatures.
Do not store near a furnace or other sources of heat that
may dry out the pump seals.
Operate the pressure washer with non-corrosive/non-toxic
anti-freeze, a pump saver, or a pump protector before
storing for the winter.
mWARNING! Before reusing, completely ush the unit
out with clear water. Anti-freeze products can damage
paintwork, so you must ensure there is no anti-freeze left in the
system before using it again.
