Pattern Adjustment Pattern Adjustment SPRAY WAND (9C) NOZZLE FIGURE J - ADJUSTMENTS 5. The Turbo Wand (33C) features a fixed Nozzle which increases the Pressure Washer’s effectiveness and decreases its cleaning area, and is recommended for heavy duty cleaning of small areas. The spray pattern on the Turbo Wand is notadjustable, but provides a circular water pattern as it sprays the high pressure water. The Turbo wand must only be used on areas that cannot be cleaned with the normal nozzle and are resilient enough to withstand the increased pressure involved. (See Figure K.) 6. The built-in Detergent Dispenser located in the Handle (1A) allows the application (USING THE BRUSH WAND OR SPRAY WAND LOW PRESSURE SETTING ONLY) of pressure washing detergent (not included) onto the work surface. FIGURE K When filling the Detergent Dispenser with pressure washing detergent, do DETERGENT DISPENSER FILL CAP not exceed 3 quarts of detergent. The Pressure Washer will automatically mix the detergent and water. Note: Detergent is dispensed in a 6% solution. Do not add water to the Detergent Dispenser. CAUTION! NEVER use any products not designed for pressure washer use, nor any products with bleach, chlorine, or any other corrosive materials, including liquids containing solvents, trisodium phosphate products, ammonia, or acid-based cleaners. Fill the Detergent Dispenser onlywhen the unit is notrunning or plugged in. (See Figure L.)

CHECK THE WATER SUPPLY. Prior to using the Pressure Washer for the first time, it is ESSENTIAL to verify that the water supply is adequate. The Pressure Washer needs TWICE the water supply (or volume) than the stated water output (2.1 GPM). This Pressure Washer will need about 3-4 GPM to operate correctly and efficiently. If the water is being supplied by a well/pump, make certain that the well/pump produces enough water to keep up with the Pressure Washer’s water demands. Water supply hoses should be heavy duty to withstand the forces involved. Water hoses up to 25’ long must be 5/8” ID. Water hoses up to 50’ long must be 3/4” ID. Do not use hoses longer than 50’. The more minerals in the water (the harder the water) you use, the more often mineral buildup will need to be cleaned out from the nozzles. Flow rate of the water supply must never be allowed to fall below 3 GPM. To determine the water supply’s flow rate: Run the water at full for one minute into a 5 gallon container, and measure the amount of water in the container. CAUTION! If the Pressure Washer is run with an inadequate water supply, the pump will cavitate. Cavitation causes the pump to operate loudly and will damage it. 2. ARRANGE FOR A PROPER ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. This unit uses a large amount of current, especially during start-up. Connect this unit only to a dedicated household circuit capable of providing ample current to it. A dedicated circuit has no additional loads (running devices) connected to it; shut off any appliances or lights that dim or slow down while the washer is running. For best results, connect the plug to that circuit’s outlet that is nearest to the circuit breaker panel. 3. MAKE SURE THE WASHER IS CLEAN AND READY FOR USE. Ensure the inlet water strainer, nozzle, and the rest of the Washer are totally free of buildup or debris. 4. PLAN OUT THE JOB: Plan out what areas will be cleaned,how many sessions will be necessary, and how long the individual sessions of work will need to be. Plan to clean the higher portions first, because the higher portions will typically remain cleaner while the other areas are cleaned. Plan a safe direction for runoff to flow while the job is being performed, and plan on working your way in that direction. You will have a clearer idea of the time involved to clean the area after doing a test run, as explained on page 16, #3. 5. PREPARE THE CLEANING AREA. Clear the cleaning area of all objects that are not being cleaned. If any water prone or delicate items cannot be moved, protect or move them. If detergent is to be used, cover or remove any plants or animals that may be damaged by the chemicals in the cleaner. 6. PLACE THE PRESSURE WASHER IN AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION. The location should be protected from any water from the cleaning area; if possible, select a location higher than the cleaning area. The pressure washer’s location should be close enough so that the hose will reach every portion of the job to be done with some slack for movement. Also, select an area with proper access to a dedicated circuit that can be reached with as short an extension cord as possible.
