Point the nozzle toward the ground and press the
trigger to test the pattern.
For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 to 24 inches of cleaning surface.
If you get the spray nozzle too close, especially
using high pressure mode, you may damage the
cleaning surface.
Do not get closer than 6 inches when cleaning auto-
mobile tires.
Applying Detergent With Foamer
IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specifically for
pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump.
NOTE: Never use garden hose inlet to siphon deter-
gent or wax.
DANGER: You MUST attach all hoses and the spray
gun before you start the motor.
WARNING: Before removing any spray gun
extension, be sure to turn off the pressure
washer and relieve pressure by pressing
the trigger. You could be injured if you try
to remove an extension if the pressure
washer is running and there is pressure in
the system.
Pressure washers are useful cleaning tools designed
to clean almost any surface in two easy steps.
he first step involves applying an appropriate
detergent/solvent solution to penetrate and loosen
grime. he detergent is applied at low pressure to
avoid splashing, overspraying and waste. Leave the
solution on surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solu-
tion to work.
he second step involves cleaning the surface you
have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
To apply detergent follow these steps:
Detach the nozzle extension by pushing in and
unlocking it counterclockwise.
Remove the bottle from the foamer.
Align the locking tabs on the foamer with the groves
in the gun. Push inward and twist clockwise to lock
in place. (Note: make sure that the when you lock
the foamer into place you have the hose that con-
nects to the foamer bottle hanging downward.)
Prepare your detergent solution as required by your
job and fill bottle with the solution.
Attach bottle back onto foamer making sure the
bottle hangs down.
Start washer and apply detergent to a dry surface,
starting from the bottom and working up.
o rinse, YOU MUST, stop the pressure washer,
remove the foamer and connect the adjustable
nozzle extension.
NOTE: Detergents are most effective applied to a dry
surface.
To Clean
Start at lower portion of area to be washed and work
upward, using long, even overlapping strokes. Deter-
gent or degreaser works best when you apply it to a
dry surface first. Let it set for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing.

Note: You must use the bayonet adapter to attach the
brush to the gun.
How to Use the Turbo Nozzle
he turbo nozzle, in essence, expands the area of the
high pressure stream. Use this nozzle when a large
area needs to be cleaned with the high pressure
stream.
To attach the turbo nozzle:
Remove the adjustable nozzle from the lance.
