NOTE: The pressure washer may be on and the system may have pressure even when the pump and/or motor cannot be heard running. Always use caution around the pressure washer. USING THE TRIGGER HANDLE See Figure 17. WARNING: Hold the trigger handle securely with both hands. Expect the trigger handle to move when the trigger is pulled due to reaction forces. Failure to do so could cause loss of control and injury to yourself and others.  Pull back and hold the trigger to operate the pressure washer.  Release the trigger to stop the flow of water through the nozzle. To engage the lock out:  Push up on the lock out until it clicks into the slot. To disengage the lock out:  Push the lock out down and into its original position. Start with the nozzle 1-2 ft. away from the cleaning surface and carefully approach the surface just until the desired level of cleaning is achieved. If the spray is too close it can damage the cleaning surface. SELECTING THE RIGHT NOZZLE FOR THE JOB See Figure 18. Each of the nozzles has a different spray pattern. Before starting any cleaning job, determine the best nozzle for the job. Refer to the Nozzle Selection Guide for more information about which nozzle to choose. WARNING: NEVER remove nozzles without first turning off the motor, disconnect from power supply, relieving the water pressure in the trigger handle, and locking the lock out on the trigger handle. NEVER point the nozzle at your face or at others. The quick-connect feature contains small springs that could eject the nozzle with some force. Failure to follow these instructions could result in an eye injury or other serious personal injury.
