2. Start the Pressure Washer: Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
3. Begin Cleaning: Direct the spray gun nozzle towards the surface to be cleaned. Squeeze the trigger to activate the high-pressure spray.
4. Adjust Spray Pattern: The spray lance may allow for adjustment of the spray pattern (e.g., from a narrow jet to a wider fan spray) by twisting the nozzle.
5. Using Detergent (Optional):
   • Fill the included soap bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent.
   • Attach the soap bottle to the designated inlet on the spray gun or lance (refer to product diagram).

   • After applying detergent, rinse the surface with clear high-pressure water.
6. Auto Shut-Off (TSS): The Total Stop System (TSS) automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is released, saving energy and extending pump life. The pump restarts when the trigger is squeezed again.
