Applying Detergent
To apply detergent, follow these steps:
1. Review use of spray tips.
2. Prepare detergent solution as required by job.
3. Place end of detergent siphoning tube into detergent
container.
NOTICE Make sure the end of tube is fully submerged in
detergent while applying detergent.
NOTICE Contact with the hot muffler could damage
detergent siphoning tube.
• When inserting siphon into a detergent solution bottle, route
tube to keep it from inadvertently contacting the hot muffler.
4. Make sure magenta spray tip is installed.
NOTICE Detergent cannot be applied with the high
pressure spray tips (White, Yellow, Cyan, Red or Turbo).
5. Make sure garden hose is connected to water inlet.
Check that high pressure hose is connected to spray
gun and pump. Turn on water.
NOTICE You must attach all hoses before starting engine.
• Starting the engine without all the hoses connected and
without the water turned ON could damage the pump.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
6. Start engine following instructions How to Start Your
Pressure Washer.
7. Apply detergent to a dry surface, starting at lower
portion of area to be washed and work upward, using
long, even, overlapping strokes.
8. Allow detergent to “soak in” for 3-5 minutes before
washing and rinsing. Reapply as needed to prevent
surface from drying. DO NOT allow detergent to dry on
(prevents streaking).
Pressure Washer Rinsing
For Rinsing:
1. Remove magneta detergent spray tip from nozzle
extension.
2. Select and install desired high pressure spray tip
following instructions How to Use Spray Tips.
3. Keep the spray gun a safe distance from the area you
plan to spray.
4. Increase (decrease) spray pressure by turning pressure
control knob (A) clockwise (counterclockwise). Use
lower pressure to wash items such as a car or boat. Use
higher pressure to strip paint and degrease driveways.
5. Apply a high pressure spray to a small area, then
check the surface for damage. If no damage is found,
it is okay to continue cleaning.
6. Start at the top of the area to be rinsed, working down
with same overlapping strokes as you used for washing
and applying detergent.
Cleaning Detergent Siphoning Tube
If you used the detergent siphoning tube, you must flush it
with clean water before stopping the engine.

red button and squeeze spray gun trigger to release
retained high water pressure.
Automatic Cool Down System (Thermal Relief)
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for
3-5 minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach temperatures
above 125º-155ºF (51°-68°C). The system engages to cool
the pump by discharging the warm water onto the ground.

Chemicals could cause burns resulting in death
or serious injury.
• DO NOT use caustic liquid with pressure washer.
• Use ONLY pressure washer safe detergents/soaps. Follow all
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING Kickback from spray gun could cause you

• Operate pressure washer from a stable surface.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the pressure washer from
a ladder, scaffolding, or any other similar location.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high
pressure spray to avoid injury when spray gun kicks back.
Operation
A
WARNING The high pressure stream of water that
this equipment produces could cut through skin
and its underlying tissues, resulting in serious
injury and possible amputation.
Spray gun traps high water pressure, even when engine
is stopped and water is disconnected, which could
result in serious injury.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun
while system is pressurized.
• ALWAYS point spray gun in safe direction, press red button
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release high pressure, every
time you stop engine.
