Fig. 16
MOVING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 16.
NOTE: Never lift or carry this product using the moving
handle.
 Turn the pressure washer off.
 Standing at the back of the machine, grasp the handle
firmly with both hands and pull the handle up until it locks
into place with a “click”.
 Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels
then roll the machine to the desired position.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figure 16.
�����Store the pressure washer with the gas tank empty by either
draining the tank or running the pressure washer until the
gas runs out. Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before
storing the machine. Store in a dry, covered area where the
weather can’t damage it.
WASHING WITH DETERGENT
See Figure 17.
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.
 Place the injection hose in the bottom of the detergent
bottle / container.
 Install the black 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.
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.
RINSING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER
 �Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
 Engage the lock out on the wand 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. Place nozzle in the
nozzle storage area on the top of the machine.
 Select the right nozzle for the job:
• Use lower pressure nozzle (green) to wash items such
as a car or boat.
• Use higher pressure nozzle for jobs such as stripping
paint and degreasing the driveway. When using these
nozzles, 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.
