2. Connect Water Supply
Connect your garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks. Use a standard garden hose connector. Turn on the water supply fully before starting the unit.
-
3. Connect High-Pressure Hose and Spray Gun
Attach one end of the high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's high-pressure outlet and the other end to the spray gun. Ensure both connections are securely tightened. Select the desired nozzle and attach it to the spray gun.
-
4. Fill Detergent Tank (Optional)
If using detergent, fill the integrated detergent tank with an appropriate pressure washer-safe cleaning solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the unit.
-
5. Connect Power
Plug the pressure washer into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is suitable for the unit's power requirements.
Operating Instructions
-
1. Start the Pressure Washer
With the water supply fully open and the power connected, turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow water to flow and purge any air from the system. This may take a few seconds.
-
2. Select Nozzle and Spray Pattern
Choose the appropriate nozzle for your cleaning task:
- 0° (Red): Pin-point jet for intense cleaning of small, stubborn areas. Use with caution as it can damage surfaces.
- 25° (Green): Fan spray for general cleaning of most surfaces.
- 40° (White): Wide fan spray for gentle cleaning of delicate surfaces or large areas.
- Foam (Black): For applying detergent.

3. Begin Cleaning
Hold the spray gun firmly with both hands. Start spraying from a distance of 1-2 feet from the surface and gradually move closer until the desired cleaning effect is achieved. Avoid spraying too close, especially on delicate surfaces, to prevent damage.
-
4. Applying Detergent
If using detergent, attach the foam nozzle. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent from the tank when the foam nozzle is attached and the trigger is squeezed. After applying detergent, switch to a different nozzle (e.g., 25° or 40°) and rinse the surface thoroughly.
-
5. Shut Down
When finished, turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position. Turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to release any remaining pressure in the system. Disconnect the garden hose and high-pressure hose.
Maintenance
- Clean Nozzles: Regularly inspect and clean nozzles to prevent blockages. Use the included nozzle cleaning tool if necessary.
- Check Hoses: Inspect high-pressure and garden hoses for kinks, cuts, or leaks before each use. Replace damaged hoses immediately.
- Filter Cleaning: The water inlet filter should be checked and cleaned periodically to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Storage: Before storing, ensure all water is drained from the pump and hoses, especially in freezing temperatures, to prevent damage. Store the unit in a dry, protected area.
