Using Detergent
Fill the pressure washer detergent into the detergent tank. Install the blue or black soap nozzle. Squeeze the trigger and wait approximately 1 minute for soap to dispense.
Spray Tip Application
The pressure washer comes with different spray tips for various cleaning tasks:
- Green - Narrow Fan Tip (25°): Provides high versatility with a 25-degree angle. It offers adequate pressure to remove dirt from surfaces without damaging most materials. Ideal for "sweeping" foliage or debris due to its wide angle, offering a wide cleaning area and strong pressure application.
- White - Wide Fan Tip (40°): Creates the widest cleaning area with relatively low pressure. Best used for light or delicate cleaning applications, such as light cleaning on wood decks or other soft surfaces.
- Black - Soap Spray Tip: Used for soap application. Soap is applied under low pressure and high volume for optimal performance. Soap cannot be applied under high pressure with this machine.
- Turbo Nozzle Tip: This nozzle rotates in a 0 to 15-degree spray pattern in a circular motion to break down tough dirt and grime. The spray pattern can cover an area of 4 to 8 inches wide, depending on the distance between the tip and the surface being cleaned.
Diagram Description: Visuals of four spray tips: Green (25°), White (40°), Black (SOAP), and Turbo. Each tip is shown with a brief description of its spray pattern and application.
Connecting Desired Spray Tip
To connect a spray tip: Pull back the quick-connect collar, push the spray tip into place, and then push the collar forward to secure it.

Set-up
- Connect the garden hose to the pressure washer water intake.
- Assemble the pressure washer gun to the spray wand.
- Insert the high-pressure hose into the trigger handle.
- Insert the high-pressure hose into the pressure washer.
- Turn on the water at the outlet.
