• Before starting up your machine, please check it carefully for any defects.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces.
• Do not direct discharge stream at persons.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not carry a plugged in machine with your finger on the trigger.

Setup

1. Assembly

The assembly process for the Sun Joe XTREAM Electric Pressure Washer is straightforward. Ensure all components are present and undamaged before beginning.

2. Water Connection

• Connect your garden hose to the pressure washer's water inlet. Ensure a secure connection to prevent leaks.
• Attach the high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's outlet and to the spray gun.
• Turn on the water supply and allow water to flow through the system until all air is purged from the hoses and spray gun. This prevents air pockets from damaging the pump.

3. Power Connection

• Ensure the pressure washer's power switch is in the "OFF" position.
• Plug the 35-foot GFCI power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The GFCI light should illuminate.

4. Attaching Accessories

The unit comes with various accessories for different cleaning needs.

• Brushes: Utilize the Utility Bristle Brush for windows, patio furniture, autos, boats, and BBQs, or the Wheel + Rim Brush for wheels, rims, and tires.

Operating Instructions

• Once all connections are secure and water is flowing, turn the pressure washer's power switch to the "ON" position. The pump will run briefly to build pressure and then shut off.
• Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to begin spraying. The Total Stop System (TSS) automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger isn't engaged, prolonging pump life and saving energy.
• Adjust the spray pattern by changing the Quick-Connect spray tips as needed for different cleaning tasks.
• For applying detergent, ensure the foam cannon is filled and attached. The detergent will be dispensed when the appropriate setting or nozzle is selected (refer to specific foam cannon instructions if different from standard tips).

Maintenance

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

• After Each Use: Detach all hoses and the spray gun. Drain all water from the hoses and the unit to prevent mineral buildup and freezing damage.
• Nozzle Cleaning: Use the provided needle clean-out tool to clear any blockages from the spray tips.
• Winterization: If storing in freezing temperatures, ensure the unit is completely drained of water or use a pump protector/antifreeze solution as per manufacturer guidelines to prevent internal damage.
