Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your pressure washer for first use:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and ensure all components listed in the product overview are present.
2. Attach Wheels (if not pre-assembled): Secure the wheels to the main unit according to the diagrams in the included physical manual.
3. Connect High-Pressure Hose: Attach one end of the high-pressure hose to the pressure outlet on the main unit and the other end to the spray gun. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4. Connect Spray Wand and Nozzle: Insert the spray wand into the spray gun. Select the desired quick-connect nozzle (e.g., 40° for general cleaning) and push it firmly into the end of the spray wand until it clicks into place.
5. Connect Water Supply: Attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the water inlet connector on the pressure washer. Ensure the garden hose is free of kinks and has a minimum diameter of 1/2 inch. Turn on the water supply completely.
6. Bleed Air from System: Before plugging in the unit, 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. This prevents damage to the pump.
7. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V AC outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

Operating Instructions

Once set up, follow these steps to operate your TEANDE Electric Pressure Washer:

1. Turn On: Flip the power switch on the main unit to the "ON" position. The motor will start briefly and then stop if the trigger is not engaged (Total Stop System - TSS).
2. Begin Cleaning: Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands. Point the nozzle at the surface to be cleaned, keeping a safe distance (start further away and move closer if needed). Squeeze the trigger to start the water flow and pressure.
3. Adjust Spray Pattern: To change the spray pattern, release the trigger, turn off the unit, and disconnect the power. Remove the current nozzle and replace it with another quick-connect nozzle (0°, 15°, 25°, 40°, or soap) as needed for your cleaning task.
   • 0° (Red): Pinpoint jet for stubborn stains. Use with extreme caution as it can damage surfaces.
   • 15° (Yellow): Narrow spray for intense cleaning of hard surfaces.
   • 25° (Green): Medium spray for general cleaning of most surfaces.
   • 40° (White): Wide spray for gentle cleaning and rinsing.
   • Soap (Black): Low-pressure spray for applying detergent.
4. Using Detergent: Fill the soap bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach the soap nozzle (black) to the spray wand. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when operating with the soap nozzle. After applying detergent, switch to a high-pressure nozzle (e.g., 25° or 40°) to rinse the surface thoroughly.
5. Total Stop System (TSS): The TSS automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is not engaged, saving energy and prolonging the pump's life. The motor will restart when the trigger is squeezed again.
6. Finishing Operation: When finished, release the trigger, turn off the power switch, and unplug the unit. Turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system. Disconnect the garden hose and high-pressure hose.

Maintenance

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

• Clean Nozzles: If nozzles become clogged, use the included nozzle cleaning tool (or a thin wire) to clear any debris. Rinse thoroughly.
• Inspect Hoses and Connections: Regularly check the high-pressure hose, garden hose, and all connections for wear, cuts, or leaks. Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Clean Water Inlet Filter: The water inlet has a filter to prevent debris from entering the pump. Periodically remove and clean this filter.
• Winter Storage: If storing the pressure washer in an area where temperatures may drop below freezing, it is crucial to winterize the unit. Drain all water from the pump, hoses, and spray gun. Consider using a pump protector solution to prevent freezing and corrosion.
• General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
