Setup
Follow these steps for initial setup before operating your pressure washer.

Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for safe and effective operation of your pressure washer.
- Prepare for Use: Ensure all connections are secure. Turn on the water supply completely before turning on the pressure washer.
- Purge Air from System: Squeeze the trigger on the high-pressure gun to release air from the system until a steady stream of water emerges.
- Start the Unit: Turn the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The motor will start, and the unit will build pressure.
- Adjust Spray Pattern: Rotate the adjustable lance nozzle to select the desired spray pattern (from a concentrated jet to a wide fan spray) for your cleaning task.
- Apply Detergent (Optional): If using the soap dispenser, ensure it is attached. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when operating at low pressure or with the detergent nozzle.
- Begin Cleaning: Hold the gun firmly with both hands and maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned. Always start with a wider spray pattern and move closer as needed to avoid damaging the surface.
- 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 power cable and water hose.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer.
- Clean Water Filter: Regularly check and clean the water filter to prevent blockages. Rinse it under running water to remove debris.
- Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, use the provided nozzle cleaner tool to clear any obstructions.
- Hose and Gun Inspection: Periodically inspect the high-pressure hose and gun for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace damaged parts immediately.
- Storage: Before storing, ensure all water is drained from the unit, hose, and gun to prevent freezing damage. Store the pressure washer in a dry, frost-free area.
- Cable Management: Wrap the power cable neatly around the designated storage area on the unit.
