5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled and connected, you can begin operating your pressure washer.

1. Priming the Pump: Before turning on the power, squeeze the trigger on the high-pressure gun to allow water to flow through the system and expel any air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges.
2. Power On: Switch on the pressure washer. The motor will start, and the pump will build pressure.
3. Begin Cleaning: Direct the nozzle towards the surface to be cleaned, maintaining a safe distance. Squeeze the trigger to activate the high-pressure jet.
4. Adjusting Spray: Use the adjustable nozzle to change the spray pattern from a concentrated pinpoint stream for stubborn dirt to a wide fan spray for general cleaning.
5. Using Detergent (Soap Bottle): Fill the soap bottle with appropriate pressure washer detergent. Attach it to the high-pressure gun. The unit will automatically mix the detergent with water at low pressure. Apply detergent to the surface, allow it to soak, then rinse with a high-pressure jet.
6. Using Brushes: Attach the desired wash brush for gentle cleaning of sensitive surfaces like vehicles or outdoor furniture.
7. Pipe Cleaning: For clogged pipes, attach the pipe cleaning hose. Carefully insert it into the pipe and activate the water flow.
8. Power Off: When finished, release the trigger, switch off the pressure washer, and turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger again to release any remaining pressure in the system before disconnecting hoses.
