- Battery Installation: Ensure the pressure washer is turned off. Insert the fully charged 80V 4.0Ah batteries into the dual-port battery powerhead until they click into place.
- Water Source Connection:
- Garden Hose: Connect a standard garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Siphon Hose (Self-Primed): For drawing water from a standing source (e.g., bucket, water tank), connect the included 6-foot siphon hose to the water inlet. Ensure the filter end of the siphon hose is submerged in the water source.

- High-Pressure Hose Connection: Connect the 25-foot steel-braided kink-resistant high-pressure hose to the pressure washer's outlet and to the spray gun. Hand-tighten all connections securely.

Operating Instructions
- Powering On: Turn on the water supply to the pressure washer. Press the easy push-button start to power on the unit.
- Priming the Pump: Before starting, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to purge air from the system until a steady stream of water emerges. This primes the pump and ensures proper operation.
- Selecting Operating Mode:
- Standard Mode: Provides full power (up to 3000 PSI with turbo nozzle) for tough cleaning tasks.
- ECO Mode: Activate the power-saving ECO mode switch for lighter cleaning jobs, reducing pressure and extending battery runtime. This mode delivers approximately 2200 PSI.
- Using Nozzle Tips:
- 15° Nozzle: Ideal for concentrated cleaning on bricks and concrete.
- 25° Nozzle: Best for cleaning wood surfaces and outdoor furniture.
- 40° Nozzle: Suitable for multipurpose cleaning, including house and window washing.
- Turbo Nozzle: Provides a powerful, rotating stream for tough applications like heavily soiled bricks, concrete, and hard surfaces.

- Soap Nozzle: Use with detergent for soap application on any surface. Fill the on-board soap tank with appropriate pressure washer detergent.
- Cleaning Technique: Always start spraying away from the surface to be cleaned and move the spray towards it. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface to avoid damage.
- Shutting Down: Release the spray gun trigger. Turn off the pressure washer using the power button. Turn off the water supply. Squeeze the trigger again to release any remaining pressure in the system. Disconnect hoses and store the unit.
Maintenance
- Cleaning Nozzles: Regularly inspect and clean nozzle tips to prevent blockages and maintain optimal spray patterns. Use the included nozzle cleaning tool if necessary.
- Hose Inspection: Check the high-pressure hose for any kinks, cuts, or damage before each use. Replace if damaged.
- Water Inlet Filter: Periodically clean the water inlet filter to ensure a steady flow of clean water to the pump.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, ensure batteries are partially charged (around 50%) to prolong their lifespan.
- Winterization: If storing in freezing temperatures, ensure all water is drained from the pump and hoses to prevent damage. Consider using a pump protector solution.
