DANGER! Risk of fluid injection. Do not
direct discharge stream toward persons,
unprotected skin, eyes or any pets or
animals. Serious injury will occur.
WARNING! Flying objects could cause
risk of serious injury. Do not attempt to
change nozzles while pressure washer is
running. Turn engine off before changing
nozzles.
1. Pull quick-connect coupler back and insert

Low pressure
spray is safe
on all surfaces.
Always verify
compatibility of
cleaning solution
prior to use.
*NOTICE: The high pressure spray from your
pressure washer is capable of causing damage to
surfaces such as wood, glass, automobile paint,
auto striping and trim, and delicate objects such
as flowers and shrubs. Before spraying, check
the item to be cleaned to assure yourself that it is
strong enough to resist damage from the force of
the spray.
How To Apply Chemicals/Cleaning Solvents
Applying chemicals or cleaning solvents is a low
pressure operation.
NOTE: Use only soaps and chemicals designed for
pressure washer use. Do not use bleach.
To Apply Chemicals:
1. Ensure detergent siphon hose is attached to
barbed fitting location near high pressure
hose connection of pump as shown. See
Figure 5 -7.
Figure 5-7
2. Place other end of detergent siphon hose with
filter on it into container holding chemicals/
cleaning solution.
NOTE: For every 7 gallons of water pumped,
1 gallon of chemical/cleaning solution will be
used.
3. Install the black low pressure nozzle into the
quick connect fitting of the spray wand and
rotate the Dial-N-Wash to the MAX pressure
setting as shown. See “How To Use Spray
Wand” paragraph in this section.
NOTE: To apply chemicals the black low
pressure nozzle must be installed and the Dial-
N-Wash must be in the MAX pressure setting
as shown.
4. After use of chemicals, place detergent siphon
hose into container of clean water and draw
clean water through chemical injection system
to rinse system thoroughly. If chemicals
remain in the pump, it could be damaged.
Pumps damaged due to chemical residue will
not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Chemicals and soaps will not siphon if
the black soap nozzle is not installed on the
spray wand.
Operation
Starting
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury,
read the pressure washer instruction
manual and the engine instruction
manual before starting pressure washer.
DANGER! Risk of fluid injection and
laceration. When using the high pressure
setting, DO NOT allow the high pressure
spray to come in contact with
unprotected skin, eyes, or with any pets
or animals. Serious injury will occur.
• Your washer operates at fluid pressures
and velocities high enough to penetrate
human and animal flesh, which could result
in amputation or other serious injury. Leaks
caused by loose fittings or worn or damaged
hoses can result in injection injuries. DO NOT
TREAT FLUID INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT! See
a physician immediately!
DANGER: Carbon Monoxide. Using an
engine indoors can kill you in minutes.
Engine exhaust contains high levels of
carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas
you cannot see or smell. You may be
breathing CO even if you do not smell
engine exhaust.
• Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious
injury or death! Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• Operate pressure washer in a well-ventilated
area. Avoid enclosed areas such as garages,
basements, etc.
• Never operate unit in or near a location
occupied by humans or animals.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Asphyxiation
and Burn. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke
when filling fuel tank.
• Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to
1/2” (12.7mm) below bottom of filler neck to
provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any
fuel spillage from engine and equipment
before starting engine.
