4. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your pressure washer for use.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Retain packaging for storage or transport.
2. Assemble the Spray Gun and Lance: Connect the lance to the spray gun handle. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
3. Connect High-Pressure Hose: Attach one end of the 5-meter high-pressure hose to the outlet on the pressure washer unit and the other end to the spray gun handle. Tighten connections firmly by hand.
4. Connect Water Supply: Attach a garden hose (not included) to the water inlet connector on the pressure washer. Ensure the garden hose is connected to a reliable water source. Turn on the water supply fully.
5. Connect Power Supply: Plug the pressure washer's power cord into a suitable, grounded electrical outlet.
6. Purge Air from System: Before turning on the power, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow water to flow through the system and expel any trapped air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the unit is set up and air is purged, you can begin operation.

1. Starting the Unit: Turn the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
2. Automatic Stop System: The Ingco HPWR14008 is equipped with an automatic stop system. The motor will only run when the spray gun trigger is squeezed and will automatically shut off when the trigger is released. This conserves energy and extends pump life.
3. Using the Spray Gun: Aim the spray gun at the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance. Squeeze the trigger to start the high-pressure water flow.
4. Adjusting Spray Pattern: The lance may allow for adjustment of the spray pattern (e.g., from a narrow jet to a wider fan spray) by twisting the nozzle or changing nozzles. Refer to the specific lance design for details.
5. Cleaning Technique: Start cleaning from top to bottom, working in small sections. Keep the nozzle moving to avoid damaging surfaces.
6. Shutting Down:
   • Release the spray gun trigger.
   • Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
   • Turn off the water supply at the tap.
   • Squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.
   • Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
   • Disconnect the garden hose and high-pressure hose.

6. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning the Unit: After each use, wipe down the exterior of the pressure washer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect all hose connections and electrical cords for wear, damage, or leaks. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
• Nozzle Cleaning: If the spray pattern becomes irregular or pressure drops, the nozzle may be clogged. Use the included nozzle cleaning tool (if provided) or a thin wire to clear any debris.
• Storage:
  • Drain all water from the pump, hoses, and spray gun before storing.
  • Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free environment. Freezing temperatures can damage the pump.
