5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting the Pressure Washer

1. Ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on.
2. Before turning on the power, squeeze the trigger on the high-pressure gun to purge air from the system. Hold the trigger until a steady stream of water flows out.
3. Turn the pressure washer ON using the power switch. The motor will start.
4. Begin cleaning by directing the water jet at the surface. Maintain a safe distance to avoid damage to the surface.

5.2 Total Stop System (TSS)

The pressure washer is equipped with a Total Stop System (TSS). This feature automatically shuts off the motor when the trigger on the gun is released, and restarts it when the trigger is pressed again. This reduces wear on the pump and saves energy.

5.3 Self-Priming Function

The Stanley SXPW14PE has a self-priming function, allowing it to draw water from an external tank or reservoir if a direct connection to the mains water supply is not possible. Ensure the tank is placed at a level higher than the pressure washer for optimal performance.
