Setup

  1. Charge Battery: Ensure your Ferrex 20V battery (not included) is fully charged using a compatible Ferrex charger (not included).

    • For drawing water from a bucket or container: Attach the filter to one end of the water intake hose and submerge the filter end into the water source. Connect the other end of the hose to the quick connector on the cleaner.
    • For connecting to a garden hose: Use the quick connector to attach the cleaner directly to a standard garden hose. Ensure the water supply is turned on.
  6. Prime the Pump (if necessary): If using a bucket or non-pressurized source, hold the trigger for a few seconds to allow the pump to draw water and expel air until a steady stream is achieved.

General Operation:

  1. Start: Press and hold the trigger to activate the high-pressure cleaner.
  2. Adjust Spray: Rotate the 5-in-1 nozzle to switch between different spray patterns (e.g., jet, fan, mist) and pressure levels as needed for your cleaning or irrigation task.

Applications:

  • Cleaning: Ideal for washing vehicles, garden furniture, patios, and other outdoor surfaces. Adjust pressure according to the surface material to avoid damage.

  • After Each Use:
