5. Operation
Before starting, ensure all connections are secure and the water supply is turned on.
- Purge Air: Squeeze the trigger on the water gun to allow water to flow through and purge any air from the system. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges.
- Turn On: Switch the pressure washer to the 'ON' position. The motor will start, and pressure will build.
- Begin Cleaning: Direct the spray at the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance. The auto-stop water gun will stop the motor when the trigger is released and restart it when squeezed, conserving energy and extending motor life.
- Changing Nozzles: Turn off the pressure washer and release any residual pressure by squeezing the trigger. Detach the current nozzle and attach a different one as needed.
- Using the Soap Dispenser: Fill the included soap dispenser with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach it to the water gun. The soap dispenser is ideal for deep cleaning vehicles or heavily soiled surfaces.
