1. Attach High-Pressure Hose: Connect one end of the 5m high-pressure hose to the outlet on the front of the pressure washer. Ensure it is securely tightened.
2. Connect Gun and Lance: Attach the other end of the high-pressure hose to the high-pressure gun. Then, select your desired lance (adjustable or turbo) and connect it to the end of the gun. For extended reach, use the lance extension.
3. Install Water Filter: Insert one of the water filters into the water inlet connection on the pressure washer. This prevents particles from entering and damaging the pump.
4. Connect Water Supply: Attach a garden hose (not included) to the quick connector, then connect the quick connector to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the garden hose is free of kinks and has a steady water supply.
5. Fill Soap Dispenser (Optional): If using soap, fill the 550ml soap dispenser with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach it to the gun when ready to apply soap.
6. Power Connection: Plug the 5m power cord into a grounded 127 V / 60 Hz electrical outlet.

Operation

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your pressure washer.

1. Purge Air from System: Before turning on the power, turn on the water supply to the garden hose. Squeeze the trigger on the gun to allow water to flow through the system and expel any air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle.
2. Start the Pressure Washer: Turn the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer to the 'ON' position. The motor will start, and the pump will build pressure.
3. Begin Cleaning: Hold the gun firmly with both hands. Point the nozzle at the surface to be cleaned, keeping a safe distance. Squeeze the trigger to start the high-pressure spray.
4. Adjust Spray Pattern: If using the adjustable lance, rotate the nozzle to change the spray pattern from a narrow, powerful stream to a wider, gentler fan spray. The turbo lance provides a rotating, high-impact stream for tough dirt.
5. Apply Soap (Optional): If using the soap dispenser, attach it to the gun. The pressure washer will draw soap from the dispenser and mix it with the water. Apply soap to the surface, allow it to dwell for a few minutes (do not let it dry), then switch back to a high-pressure lance to rinse.
6. Automatic Stop System: The pressure washer features an automatic stop system. The motor will stop when the trigger is released and restart when the trigger is squeezed again, saving energy and prolonging pump life.
7. Work Cycle: The recommended work cycle is 50 minutes of work followed by 20 minutes of rest. The maximum daily usage is 6 hours. Adhering to this cycle helps prevent overheating and extends the life of the unit.
8. Shut Down: When finished, turn the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position. 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 optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer.

• Clean Water Filters: Regularly check and clean the water filters at the inlet connection. Rinse them under running water to remove any debris. Replace if damaged.
• Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged or the spray pattern is irregular, use the included nozzle cleaner tool to clear any obstructions.
• Hose and Cord Inspection: Periodically inspect the high-pressure hose and power cord for any signs of damage, kinks, or wear. Replace immediately if damaged.
• Storage: Before storing, ensure all water is drained from the pump and hoses, especially in freezing temperatures. Store the pressure washer in a dry, protected area.
• General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the pressure washer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
