How To Use Your Pressure Washer Using Soaps/Chemicals
On the end of your spray gun is a nozzle that you can
slide forward and backward and that you can also
twist from side to side. With the adjustable nozzle you
can adjust the spray pattern to either high pressure
or low pressure. You can also adjust the spray so it is
concentrated in a stream pattern or expanded into a fan
pattern.
• Slide the nozzle forward for low pressure. Pull nozzle
back for high pressure.
To adjust your spray pattern twist the nozzle
clockwise for fan spray or counterclockwise for
stream spray.
FAN SPRAY STREAM SPRAY
• For most effective cleaning, keep spray nozzle
between 8 and 24 inches from cleaning surface.
IMPORTANT: If you get spray nozzle too close,
especially on high pressure, you may damage the
surface you are cleaning.
• The pressure control knob is located on the pump.
You can increase the pressure by turning the knob
clockwise or decrease the pressure by turning the
knob counterclockwise.
NOTE: The maximum pressure for the unit is set at it’s
maximum setting at the factory. Do not attempt to adjust
the pressure higher than this factory setting.
IMPORTANT: Use soaps and chemicals that are
designed specifically for use with pressure washers. To
apply soaps/chemicals follow these steps:
• Prepare the soap/chemical as required by your job.
• Insert soap/chemical line into your container (soap/
chemicals not included).

NOTE: The first step involves applying an appropriate
soap/chemical solution to penetrate and loosen grime.
Apply the solution at low pressure to avoid splashing,
over spray and waste. Leave the solution on surface for
3 to 5 minutes to allow solution to work.
NOTE: The second step involves cleaning the surface
you have prepared with the pressure washer and then
rinsing it clean.
• Slide the adjustable nozzle forward to low pressure
mode. Soap/chemicals cannot be applied with nozzle
in high pressure position.
• Review the use of the adjustable nozzle.
• Connect garden hose to water inlet (see “To Start Your
Pressure Washer”). Check that high pressure hose is
connected to spray gun and pump (see Assembly),
and start engine.
• Apply soap/chemicals to dry surface, starting from the
bottom and working up.
• Allow the soap/chemicals to soak in between 3-5
minutes before washing and rinsing.
• For cleaning, start at lower portion of area to be
washed and work upward, using long, even over­
lapping strokes.
• Your pressure washer is equipped with a chemical
injector adjustment knob. With the knob fully opened
you will get a maximum chemical draw. With knob
fully closed you will get no chemical draw. Turn
knob in counter clockwise direction to achieve more
chemical draw and clockwise for less chemical draw.
