3. Setup Instructions

1. Assemble the Handle: Attach the folding handle to the main unit. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
2. Connect High-Pressure Hose:
   • Connect one end of the high-pressure hose to the pressure outlet on the unit. Tighten by hand.
   • Connect the other end of the high-pressure hose to the spray gun. Tighten by hand.
3. Connect Water Supply:
   • Attach a garden hose (not included) to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
   • Turn on the water supply completely.
4. Purge Air from System: Before connecting power, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow water to flow through the system and purge any trapped air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges.
5. Connect Power: Plug the pressure washer's power cord into a grounded 120V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
6. Add Detergent (Optional): If using detergent, fill one or both of the dual detergent tanks with a pressure washer-safe cleaning solution.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Select Nozzle: Choose the appropriate quick-connect nozzle for your cleaning task.
   • 0° (Red): For intense spot cleaning or hard-to-reach areas. Use with extreme caution.
   • 25° (Green): For general cleaning of most surfaces.
   • 40° (White): For delicate surfaces or wide-area cleaning.
   • Soap (Black): For applying detergent at low pressure.
   Insert the chosen nozzle firmly into the end of the spray wand until it clicks into place.
2. Start the Pressure Washer: Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The motor will start when the trigger is squeezed and stop when released.
3. Begin Cleaning: Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands. Start spraying a few feet away from the surface and gradually move closer until the desired cleaning effect is achieved. Maintain a consistent distance and angle for even cleaning.
4. Apply Detergent: If using detergent, ensure the black soap nozzle is attached. Turn the soap selector knob to either "A" or "B" (corresponding to the filled tank). The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent and apply it at low pressure. After applying detergent, switch the soap selector back to "OFF" and replace the soap nozzle with a high-pressure nozzle to rinse the surface.
5. Shut Down:
   • Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
   • Turn off the water supply.
   • Squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.
   • Disconnect the garden hose and power cord.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer.

• After Each Use:
  • Flush the system with clean water to remove any detergent residue.
  • Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth.
  • Drain all water from the pump, hose, and spray gun to prevent freezing damage.
• Nozzle Cleaning: If a nozzle becomes clogged, use the included nozzle cleaning tool (or a small paper clip) to clear the obstruction.
• Storage: Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free area. Coil the high-pressure hose and power cord neatly on the integrated holders.
• Water Inlet Filter: Periodically check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
