Operating Instructions
Before starting, ensure the water supply is turned on and the pressure washer is connected to power.
- Purge Air from System: Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun for approximately 30 seconds with the water supply on and the unit off. This allows air to escape and fills the pump with water.
- Start the Unit: Turn the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The motor will start.
- Begin Cleaning: Aim the spray gun at the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance. Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying. Release the trigger to stop the flow.
- Using Detergent: If using detergent, fill the detergent tank (if applicable) with pressure washer safe detergent. Attach the detergent nozzle. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when operating at low pressure.
- Adjusting Pressure/Spray Pattern: Rotate the adjustable nozzle or switch between different nozzles to achieve the desired spray pattern and pressure for your cleaning task.
- Stopping Operation: To stop, release the trigger, then turn the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the power cord.
- Relieve Residual Pressure: After turning off the unit and water supply, squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.

- Hose and Cord Inspection: Before each use, inspect the high-pressure hose and power cord for any cuts, abrasions, or damage. Do not use if damaged.
