USING THE NOZZLES
See Figure 13.
Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle 
for the job. Apply detergent using the soap (black) nozzle. 
The 25˚ nozzle is for general purpose or large surfaces and 
the turbo nozzle gives up to 50% more cleaning power.
CAUTION
:
NEVER change nozzles without locking the lock-out on 
the trigger handle.
  Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. 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.
  Push the nozzle into the quick-connect collar until it clicks 
in place and is secured properly.
To disconnect a nozzle from the trigger handle once 
the cleaning job is complete:
  Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water sup-
ply. 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.
  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.
OPERATING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See Figures 14.
Use only detergents designed for pressure washers. Many 
detergents may require mixing prior to use. Prepare cleaning 
solution as instructed on the solution bottle.
To clean:
  Pour detergent in the detergent tank.
  Install the soap nozzle on the spray wand.
  Start the pressure washer and spray the detergent on 
a dry surface using long, even, overlapping strokes. To 
prevent streaking, do not allow detergent to dry on the 
surface.
OPERATION
To rinse:
Using the 25˚ nozzle, spray away from the rinsing surface 
for  approximately  10  seconds  to  allow  any  remaining 
detergent to be flushed from the line. 
  Start at the top of the area to be rinsed and work down, 
overlapping the strokes.
USING THE CLEANING DECK 
See Figure 14.
  Attach the spray wand to the cleaning deck. See Using 
the Spray Wand as a Handle in the Assembly section of 
this manual.
  Start the pressure washer.
  Step on the Lock/Unlock pedal on the back of the clean-
ing deck to release the spray wand from its upright posi-
tion.
  Walk slowly behind the cleaning deck, cleaning as you 
go. 
 
NOTE:  If  striping  or  swirling  occurs,  slow  your  pace. 
If  problem  continues,  see  Troubleshooting  later  in  this 
manual.
CAUTION:
Striking any raised obstacle which using with the clean-
ing deck will damage the unit. If contact does  occur and 
causes  vibration  when  operating  the  pressure  washer, 
stop and replace the spray bar. Continuing to operate 
the unit without replacing the spray bar could result in 
serious injury or damage to the unit.
NOTE: See figure 15 for the location of the spray bar.
MOVING THE PRESSURE  WASHER
To move the pressure washer:
  Turn the pressure washer off. Point nozzle in a safe direc-
tion and pull trigger to release water pressure.
  Store the spray wand in the cleaning deck.
  Tilt the machine toward you until it balances on the wheels 
then roll the machine to the desired position.
