You now should know how to START our pressure

washer and how to STOP it. The information in this

section will tell ou how to adjust the spra pattern

and appl detergent or an other cleaning chemicals.

How to Use the Turbo Nozzle

The turbo nozzle rotates the high pressure stream in

a rapid circular pattern. The high pressure spra is

most effective when the tip of the wand is held

between 8 to 24 inches from the surface being

cleaned.

Alwa s start the turbo nozzle at a distance, graduall

getting closer to the surface until ou get the cleaning

force ou want.

CAUTION! The turbo nozzle produces an

extremel high pressure spra which is

capable of removing paint and cutting holes

through surfaces if held too close. Alwa s

make sure the surface ou will clean will not

be damaged b the high pressure spra b

testing in a hidden area.

Note: You cannot appl detergent with the turbo

nozzle.

Applying Detergent With Foamer

IMPORTANT: Use soaps designed specificall for

pressure washers. Household detergents could

damage the pump.

NOTE: Never use garden hose inlet to siphon

detergent or wax.

DANGER: You MUST attach all hoses and the spra

gun before ou start the motor.

WARNING! Before removing an spra gun

extension, be sure to turn off the pressure

washer and relieve pressure b pressing the

trigger. You could be injured if ou tr to

remove an extension if the pressure washer is

running and there is pressure in the s stem.

Pressure washers are useful cleaning tools designed

to clean almost an surface in two eas steps.

 First, appl an appropriate detergent/solvent

solution to penetrate and loosen grime. Apply

detergent at low pressure to avoid splashing,

overspraying and waste. Leave the solution on

surface for 3 to 5 minutes to allow solution to work.

Reappl as necessar to keep solution from dr ing.
