Assembly & Setup

Follow these steps to assemble and set up your pressure washer:

1. Attach the Handle/Frame: Secure the upper handle to the main unit frame using the provided hardware. Ensure it is firmly in place for stability and transport.
2. Connect the High-Pressure Hose: Attach one end of the 25-foot high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's high-pressure outlet and the other end to the spray gun. Hand-tighten securely.
3. Connect the Water Supply: Connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the garden hose is free of kinks and has a steady water supply.
4. Install Spray Tip: Select the desired quick-connect spray tip and insert it into the spray gun's nozzle holder until it clicks into place.
5. Fill Detergent Tank (Optional): If using detergent, fill the onboard detergent tank with an appropriate pressure washer detergent.
6. Connect Power: Plug the 35-foot GFCI electrical cord into a grounded 120V AC outlet. Press the RESET button on the GFCI plug if necessary.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation:

1. Prepare for Operation: Ensure all connections (water, high-pressure hose, power) are secure. Turn on the water supply completely.
2. Purge Air from System: Before turning on the power, squeeze the spray gun trigger to allow water to flow through the system for about 30 seconds. This purges air from the pump and hoses.
3. Start the Unit: Turn the pressure washer's power switch to the "ON" position. The motor will start.
4. Begin Cleaning: Squeeze the spray gun trigger to start the high-pressure spray. Maintain a safe distance from the surface being cleaned.
5. Using Spray Tips: The unit comes with 3 quick-connect spray tips. Change tips by pulling back the collar on the spray gun and inserting the desired tip. Always turn off the unit and release pressure before changing tips.
6. Applying Detergent: For detergent application, ensure the detergent tank is filled. The pressure washer will automatically draw detergent when using the appropriate low-pressure tip (usually a black or wide-angle tip).
7. Shutting Down: To stop operation, release the spray gun trigger. Turn the power switch to the "OFF" position. Turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger to release any remaining pressure in the system.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure washer.

• Nozzle Cleaning: If the nozzle becomes clogged, use the included nozzle cleaning tool (or a small paper clip) to clear any debris.
• Water Inlet Filter: Periodically check and clean the water inlet filter to prevent debris from entering the pump.
• Storage: Store the pressure washer in a dry, protected area where temperatures will not fall below freezing.
• Winterization: If storing in freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump, hose, and spray gun. Consider using a pump protector solution.
