 Install 5-in-1 Change-over Nozzle (if necessary). Rotate
the spray selector on the nozzle to either the blue short
range detergent ( ) or blue long range detergent ( )
setting.
 Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 5 seconds
for the detergent to appear.
 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 nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the long range detergent
[ ] setting.
For short range detergent application:
With the nozzle installed on the spray wand and the engine
shut off, rotate the spray selector to the short range deter-
gent [ ] setting.
Before shutting off the engine:
 Fill the soap tank with clean water.
 Spray the clear water through the spray wand until the
tank is empty.
 If any detergent remains in the spray, repeat with a second
tank of clean water.
 Shut off the engine.
NOTE: Shutting off the engine will not relieve pressure in the
system. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
 Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. 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.
 Select the right nozzle setting for the job. See the chart
shown earlier in the manual to select the appropriate
nozzle setting.
 When using these settings, test a small area first to avoid
surface damage.
 Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down,
overlapping the strokes.
OPERATION
USING PUMP PROTECTOR
See Figure 17.
Regular use of a commercially available pump protector
prolongs the life of the pressure washer by removing hard
water mineral deposits, lubricating pump seals and pistons,
and preventing freeze damage. Pump protector should be
added to the unit after every use and before storage. Pump
protector can be purchased at the retailer where you pur-
chased your pressure washer, or by calling customer service.
The instructions that follow are typical for adding pump pro-
tector but you should always verify the specific instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the pump protector used.
 Turn off the pressure washer engine and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Disconnect garden hose and high pressure hose.
 Unscrew threaded top from pump protector bottle and
remove paper seal from bottle. Reinstall top on bottle and
tighten securely.
NOTE: The rubber seal should remain inside the threaded
top. If it comes out, be sure to replace before reinstalling
the top.
 Remove bottle cap and attach threaded end of bottle
securely to pressure washer pump water intake.
 Squeeze bottle to inject contents into pump.
 With engine switch off, pull starter grip and rope to cycle
pump, then squeeze bottle again to guarantee complete
coverage.
 Pump is protected when the protector fluid exits the pump
outlet.
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 18.
NOTE: Never lift or carry this product using the handle and
never place the unit in any position other than upright on
its wheels.
 Turn the pressure washer off and ensure the fuel valve is
closed.
 Pull the handle up until the handle release knob snaps into
the locking position (if not already up and locked). Ensure
the lock is secured in the frame hole before moving.
 Tilt the machine toward you slightly until it balances on
the wheels then roll the machine to the desired position.
Do not tilt forward or sideways when moving.
 DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling on any of
the hoses.
