OPERATION
 Grasp recoil starter and pull slowly until resistance is felt.
Give recoil starter a short, brisk pull to start the engine.
Do not allow the recoil starter to snap back after starting;
return it gently to its original place.
NOTE: If engine does not start after several pulls, depress
trigger to release pressure then repeat normal starting
procedure.
 Let engine run for several seconds, then push choke in.
To stop the engine:

Put the engine switch in the OFF position.
 Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
 Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
USING THE SPRAY WAND TRIGGER
See Figures 19 - 20.
For greater control and safety, keep both hands on the
trigger handle at all times.

Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure
washer.
 Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the
nozzle.
To engage the lock out:

Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot.
To disengage the lock out:

Push the lock out down and into its original position.
For the most effective cleaning, the spray nozzle should be
between 20 cm and 60 cm from the surface to be cleaned. If
the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface.
SELECTING THE RIGHT QUICK-CONNECT
NOZZLE FOR THE JOB
See Figure 21.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle
for the job. Each of the nozzles has a different spray
pattern. The nozzle patterns are: 25° (for general purpose
or large surfaces), 15° (for tough jobs), 0° (for spot cleaning
or hard-to-reach areas), and the Soap Blaster ™ nozzle (for
long and short range detergent application).
 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 trigger handle:

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.
