,RINSING WiTH THE PRESSURE WASHER
WARNING Be extremely careful if you
must use the pressure washer from ladder,
scaffolding or any other relatively unstable
location. Pressure in a running washer builds
in the wand as you climb. When you press
the trigger, the recoil from the initial spray
could force you to fall, or if you are too close
to the cleaning surface, high pressure could
force you off a climbing apparatus.
Hook up the water supply and start your pressure
washer (see HOW TO START YOUR PRESSURE
WASHER).
Slide adjustable nozzle back to high pressure position
and wait for detergent to clear. Detergent will not flow
when in the high pressure mode.
When detergent has cleared you may want to expand
the spray pattern for a more gentle rinsing action.
Start at top of area to be rinsed, working down with
same action as for cleaning.
You can also stop detergent from flowing by simply
removing the siphon from bottle.
HOW TO ADJUST PRESSURE USING THE
PRESSURE CONTROL KNOB
Located on the pump is a pressure control knob. You can
increase and decrease the pressure of the spray by turn-
ing the knob clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.
The knob is set at maximum pressure at the factory.
HOW TO USE THE TURBO NOZZLE.
The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in a
rapid circular pattern. This increases the cleaning effec-
tiveness of the high pressure spray. Attach the turbo
nozzle on the end of the nozzle extension.
The high pressure spray is most effective when the tip of
the wand is held between 8 to 24 inches from the surface
being cleaned.
Important: The turbo nozzle produces an extremely
high pressure spray which is capable of removing paint
and cutting holes through cleaning surfaces if held too
close. Always make sure the surface you clean will not
be damaged by the high pressure spray.
HOW TO START YOUR PRESSURE WASHER
You have assembled your high pressure washer and
have prepared the engine for starting. You are now ready
to clean your car, boat or whatever you plan to clean.
Place pressure washer in an area close enough to an
outside water source that flows at a rate of at least 2.5
gallons per minute. Connect a garden hose to the
water spout.
Check that high pressure hose is tightly connected to
spray gun and pump. See ASSEMBLY section.
