Operating Instructions

1. Starting the Unit

Before starting, ensure the water supply is turned on and the high-pressure hose is connected to the spray wand. Squeeze the trigger on the spray wand to purge air from the system until a steady stream of water emerges. Then, turn the power switch to the 'ON' position.

2. Adjusting Spray Pattern and Pressure

The adjustable nozzle allows you to easily switch between an intense jet and a gentle spray. Twist the nozzle at the end of the spray wand to achieve the desired spray pattern and pressure for your cleaning task.

3. Using the Detergent Tank

For enhanced cleaning, fill the on-board removable detergent tank with a pressure washer-safe cleaning solution. The detergent will be automatically mixed with the water when the nozzle is set to a low-pressure spray pattern. Always rinse the tank thoroughly after use.

4. Total Stop System (TSS)

The TSS feature automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is released, conserving energy and extending the life of the pump. The pump will restart automatically when the trigger is squeezed again.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Nozzle and Filter

Regularly inspect and clean the nozzle for any blockages. Use the included nozzle cleaning tool if necessary. Also, check the water inlet filter for debris and rinse it clean.

2. Winter Storage

If storing the pressure washer in an area where the temperature may drop below freezing, it is crucial to winterize the unit. Drain all water from the pump and hoses to prevent damage from freezing. Consider using a pump protector solution.
