WARNING:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock out
on the trigger handle and never point the wand at
your face or at others. The quick-connect feature
contains small springs that could eject the nozzle
with some force. Failure to heed this may cause
personal injury.
Using the quick-connect collar, changing nozzles is easy.
To connect a nozzle to the spray wand:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it clicks
in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the spray wand once the
cleaning job is complete:
Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
Engage the lock out on the trigger handle by pushing up
on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
Remove the nozzle by placing hand over nozzle then
pulling back the quick-connect collar.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figures 19 - 20.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers; house-
hold detergents, acids, alkalines, bleaches, solvents, flam-
mable material, or industrial grade solutions can damage
the pump. Many detergents may require mixing prior to use.
Prepare cleaning solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
Remove the cap from the detergent container. Place the
injection hose with filter in the bottle, the filter end should
rest at the bottom of the bottle.
Install the Dual Power Soap Nozzle on the spray wand.
Spray the detergent on a dry surface using long, even,
overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, do not allow
detergent to dry on the surface.
For long range detergent application:
With the Dual Power Soap Nozzle installed on the spray
wand and the engine turned off, pull the nozzle up until it
clicks into place.
For short range detergent application:
With the Dual Power Soap Nozzle installed on the spray
wand and the engine turned off, push the Dual Power Soap
Nozzle down as far as it will go.
Before shutting off the engine:
Place the injection hose in a bucket of clean water.
Flush for 1 - 2 minutes (spray clear water through the
spray wand).
Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting OFF ( O ) the engine will not relieve
pressure in the system. Pull trigger to release water
pressure.
