2. Safety Information
Always read and understand the safety instructions provided with your pressure washer before connecting or using this extension hose. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks and potential injury from high-pressure water. Do not use this hose if it appears damaged or worn. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, when operating a pressure washer.
- Ensure the pressure washer is turned off and depressurized before connecting or disconnecting the hose.
- Do not point the spray gun at people, pets, or electrical equipment.
- Verify compatibility with your pressure washer model (fits most Sun Joe SPX series except SPX1500 and SPX1501).
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the hose during operation and storage.
3. Setup
To set up your Sun Joe SPX-25H extension hose, follow these steps:
- Prepare the Pressure Washer: Ensure your pressure washer is turned off and disconnected from the power source and water supply. Depressurize the system by squeezing the trigger on the spray gun.
- Identify Connections: The SPX-25H hose features standard M22-15 mm connectors. One end will connect to your existing pressure washer hose or the pressure washer's high-pressure outlet, and the other end will connect to your spray gun or another extension hose.
- Connect the Hose:
- Align the M22-15 mm connector of the extension hose with the corresponding port on your pressure washer or existing hose.
- Thread the connector clockwise until it is hand-tight.
- Use a wrench to gently tighten the connection further, ensuring it is secure but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the threads or O-rings.
- Connect to Spray Gun: Repeat the connection process for the other end of the extension hose to your spray gun or desired accessory.
- Check for Compatibility: This hose is designed for Sun Joe SPX series pressure washers, except models SPX1500 and SPX1501. Verify your model number before use.

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will prolong the life of your Sun Joe SPX-25H extension hose.
- Cleaning: After each use, flush the hose with clean water to remove any detergent or debris.

- Storage: Coil the hose neatly after use, avoiding sharp kinks. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect it from freezing temperatures, as ice expansion can damage the hose.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your extension hose, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leaking from Connections | Loose connection, damaged O-ring, or incorrect fitting. | Ensure connections are hand-tightened and then gently secured with a wrench. Inspect O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. Confirm M22-15 mm compatibility. |
| Hose Kinking During Use | Hose not fully uncoiled or straightened before use. | Always uncoil the entire length of the hose and remove any twists or kinks before turning on the pressure washer. |
| Reduced Pressure | Kink in the hose, partial blockage, or issue with the pressure washer itself. | Check the hose for kinks or obstructions. If the hose is clear, refer to your pressure washer's manual for troubleshooting pressure issues. |
