Operating Instructions
- Prepare Water Supply: Turn on the water supply to the garden hose completely.
- 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 purge any air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle.
- Start the Pressure Washer: Turn the power switch on the unit to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
- Begin Cleaning: Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands. Point the nozzle at the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance (start further away and move closer if needed). Squeeze the trigger to begin spraying.
- Adjust Spray Pattern:
- Adjustable Nozzle: Rotate the nozzle head to change the spray pattern from a narrow, high-impact stream to a wider, fan-shaped spray.
- Rotary Nozzle: Provides a powerful, rotating jet for stubborn dirt and grime. Ideal for hard surfaces like concrete.
- Detergent Application: If using the detergent dispenser, ensure it is properly connected. The pressure washer typically draws detergent at low pressure. Refer to your detergent's instructions for dilution ratios.
- Shutting Down:
- Release the spray gun trigger.
- Turn the power switch to "OFF".
- Turn off the water supply.
- Squeeze the spray gun trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.
- Disconnect the power cord.

- Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, use the provided nozzle cleaning tool (if included) or a thin wire to clear any obstructions. Rinse thoroughly.
- Water Filter Cleaning: Regularly inspect and clean the water filter to prevent debris from entering the pump. Rinse it under running water. Replace if damaged.
- Hose Inspection: Check the high-pressure hose and garden hose for any cuts, kinks, or leaks. Replace damaged hoses immediately.
- Pump Care: For prolonged storage, especially in freezing temperatures, use a pump protector or antifreeze solution to prevent damage. Follow the product's instructions.
